Baby, it's FINALLY cold outside...

It's finally getting cold enough here to actually wear jackets, boots, and sweaters! It's very bittersweet to me though. Like I've said before, I love wearing lots of cozy layers but I hate cold weather... But yesterday, aside from being super cold, was such a beautiful day! Cody and I spent some wonderful quality time together. We snapped tons of pictures downtown, got some delicious lunch, played with the fur children outside, and watched the latest episode of The Walking Dead. It was pretty much perfect.

I love being downtown. Not just our downtown, but ANY downtown. I love the artistic, cultured, and historic look and feel of that part of town. Old buildings are preserved (or at least not completely torn down), gardens are planted, walls are painted with colorful murals.... Newly developed areas just don't compare to the character of downtown.

Another Camping Adventure!

Saturday, we decided to take a spontaneous camping trip at Elvis Presley Lake with some of our greatest friends. I had never been out there before, and I was really surprised at how pretty it was! The weather was perfect too... not freezing, but just cold enough for sweaters and a campfire. We did all the fun, cliche camping stuff like roasting hotdogs and making 'smores. We only stayed one night but it was so much fun! I think we found our favorite, close-by camping spot and I'm sure we'll be revisiting it soon!

We usually travel pretty far to our camping destinations, but it's nice to know that this beautiful spot exists right in our own back yard!

July Birthdays

Last night we celebrated the birthdays of our friend's, Ben, Mary Meghan, JB, and Ellie

at JB and April's adorable, new house. I had so much fun making new friends and 

hanging out with old friends. We grilled out, played with cute babies, shot the 

potato...or in our case, pinecone...gun (because someone forgot to get some potatoes), 

and ate the most delicious birthday desserts made by April. Despite the humidity

and mosquitos, summertime in Mississippi is pretty awesome.
