i love fall.

i'm leaving Chicago and driving to California tomorrow. i know right, it's finally time. 

so, here are the top five things i will miss about Chicago...

5. north park men's soccer games.

4. Lincoln Square.

3. down town...i love the sky line.

2. knowing my way around, and feeling comfortable.

1. morning sunrise runs to the lake.   

come on sammy!

if you're wondering...yes i named my car. and his name is sammy. i think i did it more as a legit way to talk to myself and calm myself down when necessary...ha. anyway, we made it to chicago! (sammy, cath and i).  so now in two weeks or so i'll be on my way out west, but first i get to experience chicago one more time for a while.

so this is my car packed up pretty tight. and yes that finding nemo pillow case is mine.

me and my NEW atlas. i've never had one before and i'm totally excited about it.

me, cathface and sammy at a rest stop...the sun was SO bright.

i found glasses!!

...to drink from, ha. no, but seriously i am so excited. my future roommate has dishes and now i have glasses, we're all set. haha well maybe not all set, but this discovery made me super pumped about moving. it's getting close too. i mean i'm leaving for chicago in a week and before i know it, we'll be on the road out west. so crazy.


on a totally different note, and because i love pictures...here's an awesome picture from camp.

i cut my hair.

i cut my hair. it's really short, so i hope they can actually make a wig for someone who needs it.

seriously, it's short.
