Another beautiful gift from the fall season.  I love this time of year and get so excited when I spot the changing leaves.

Pat and I went to a Halloween party this past weekend and we dressed up as Khaleesi and her dragon from Game of Thrones.  The costumes were a little last minute and thrown together, but we actually got 2nd place in the costume contest!  It was such a fun night!  I love Halloween!

I love coming home and seeing new flowers!  I can't tell what these are yet, but I know they are going to be beautiful!

Now it's really official!  I have been working this past year to become a certified personal trainer and I passed my exam a few weeks ago and today I received my certificate!  I am so excited about this new chapter of my life.  I am so looking forward to working in a field that I am passionate about and having the opportunity to really help people.

This red flower looked so stunning against the black fence and the green leaves.  The deep red flowers are my favorite up against the fence. So beautiful.

More new additions thanks to the landscaping project.  I have no idea what they are, but I am so that we have them!

I took my Mom to the ballet in Ft. Worth last night and it was such a fun evening!  The performance hall is so beautiful and so classic. Best place to watch a beautiful ballet!

There have been some landscaping changes around our house lately and these beautiful flowers are part of the new additions. So bright and cheery!

There are few things better than having a delicious pumpkin pie dessert on a day when I only had to go to work for a few hours.  Soooo good......

Just a fun black and white of a new tree that was planted with the beautiful moon shining behind it.

It is very rare that I get these three to sit still together like this, so I had to take advantage.  Love them!

The season is changing so our condo complex is planting new bushes, trees, and shrubs.  I love this one and it's little berries.  They add the perfect little touch of color!

The sky had some fun colors tonight.  It has been cloudy and rainy off and on and when then sun was setting, it made the grey clouds pretty pastel colors and painted the sky.

We went to a magnificent haunted house last night that was in an old slaughter house and it was amazing!  I haven't been to a haunted house in years and I loved it!

This sky was beautiful this morning, but you can tell the seasons are changing.  My view of a bright and fiery sunrise has been replaced by muted blues and soft pinks.

This is how I start my day at work every morning.  My office buys supplies and I make a giant smoothie for everyone.  Not only do I love this drink, but I love how beautiful it is and the fact I get to share it with others.

This is a shot from the 'Walk the Moon' concert Pat and I went to last night.  They are hands down one of my favorite bands and I love seeing them perform.  Pat took me to the show last night to celebrate the fact I passed my certification exam and it was such a great show with good company!

I found this fun little guy and go so excited!  You don't see many toads around here, but I loved them growing up in Iowa.  I loved the sounds they made, I loved watching them when they would fall into our pool, and I loved trying to catch them.

This is about as "Fall-Like" as Dallas gets.  This beautiful and rare yellow-orange leaf floated down onto my windshield.  It was so pretty and so perfect!  I almost felt like we have fall season down here.

I love football and I love the Cowboys even more!  I have been a die-hard Cowboys fan since I was old enough to know what football was.  Pat and I were able to go tot the game yesterday (and had great seats!) and even though we didn't win, it was one exciting game.  Such a fun day!

I wait all year for this wonderful day!  The day that it finally cools down a bit and feels like Fall, or as "Fall" as you can get in Dallas, and I treat myself to a glorious Pumpkin Spice Latte.  The pumpkin waffles I got at Trader Joe's this morning were an extra treat!  :)

My little princess, Ellie.  Such a sweet, beautiful dog.  (I have had my nose glued to my computer studying all weekend, so I didn't get out of the house much....)

This was my happiness today.  I had sort of a rough day and Pat came home, took me to a movie and dinner, and bought me a cocktail.  It was so nice to sit with him. watch a funny movie, and try not to think about the day.

Pat and I had tickets to the Rangers game and it was such a beautiful night!  The game was unfortunately not so great, but it is such a beautiful stadium, the weather was perfect, and we had amazing seats!  Wonderful Monday night!
