it's FALL!

It's been in the 50's the last two days!  It's crazy because just the other day it was 80.  I've been trying to keep myself very busy these last few days since Mr. H is gone.  It is very lonely having him gone, but I have sweet friends who have kept me company.  

I found this amazing Chicken Taco Chili recipe pinterest (where else!) and it's sooooo YUMMY!!!  Fall is the perfect time to stay inside, get cozy and have a big bowl of chili.  

I've been been dying to eat some pumpkin bread recently so my friend and I decided to bake a few loaves.  I've never made pumpkin bread before...I've only eaten it!  I found a very easy Pumpkin Bread recipe online.  It turned out so good and very moist (sorry for those of you who don't like that word).  I wish I had some whipped cream to go on top.  Mr. H has such a domestic wife and he isn't even here to enjoy it.  He better hurry back so he can have some before I eat it all.

Now that it's chilly outside, it's time to break out the sweaters, long pants and boots.  I went in my closet and HATE everything I own.  Ever feel like that???  I was desperate need of a few fall items.  My friend and I planned a fun shopping spree.  I got lots of great things AND a pair of brown boots.  I'm still deciding on them though.  I'll show off the great deals I got later this week.  

It was a good, fun weekend, but I'm SOOOOOO ready for today because Mr. H comes home to me tonight!!!!!  It's been a very long last five days.  I sure miss this guy!  He's totally my other half and without him home I totally don't feel the same.  Mr. H get home to me safe and sound.  I can't wait to kiss!!!  

who wants cookies?

I hope everyone had a great Father's Day weekend!  Mr. H and I had a wonderful weekend spending time together.

Friday night are usually always the same: pizza (out or in) and TV or a movie.  This Friday Mr. H rented This Means War with Reese Witherspoon.  I'd give this movie a two thumbs up.  We enjoyed the comedy and action.  My favorite scene was Reece dancing and signing in the kitchen.  She's just the cutest thing!

Saturday was a fun day.  Mr. H and I spend the entire day together.  I love days like that.  Mr. H ALWAYS wakes up before me and usually on the weekends he'll make me breakfast (if we don't go get brunch).  I woke up to Mr. H in the kitchen making me breakfast.  He's just the best!

I talked Mr. H into going to the mall!  He hates the mall so he went out of love.  It was a successful trip for us both.  Mr. H found a few things at J. Crew and I picked up a pair of white linen pants at Gap and a cute tunic from Forever 21.  I've always wanted a pair of white linen pants so when I saw them for only $16.99 I knew I had to have them!  What a steal, right!

Mr. H wanted to make us and my dad sugar cookies for Father's Day.  He's a great baker and has made these before.  I wanted him to make chocolate chip cookies, but he was determined to make what HE wanted.  Ha.  Whatever, there're sweet...so clearly I'll eat them!!!  This recipe is from William Sonoma and they are outstanding!  They are soft sugar cookies-nothing better...well except chocolate chip.  

Sunday we celebrated Father's Day be going to church with my dad, sister and brother-in-law and then we had my dad over for lunch and cookies.  We played a few games of Mexican train and I totally dominated!

(I was soooooo bummed I forgot to get a picture with my dad on Father's Day!!!  Uggggg.)

I'm excited for this week.  My cousin and her daughter are coming to Dallas for a modeling expo and we'll get to see them once or twice.  Then it's my sister's birthday on Thursday.  Then we have a wedding to go to on Friday.  It's going to be a busy, fun week!

Guess what?  The wonderful Sheila over at The Failte House asked me to guest post about Love Languages.  Check it out.  Thanks Sheila for having me I'm so thrilled you asked me to be a guest blogger!

Happy Monday FRIENDS!!
