This October makes me plenty happy for the because reasons:
[Snapped this walking around with my family in Midtown on the West Side.]
-my parents are visiting and we are going to some awesome places like the Intrepid and making trips to Glaser's Bakery and making lasagna together
-a special road trip with 2 special ladies Amy & Katie to go upstate NY for hay-rides, warm apple cider, oodles of pumpkins, and views of the Catskills
-my 24th birthday! :) and dancing the night away with some special people
-Where the Wild Things Are finally coming out & going to the Spike Jonze & Maurice Sendak talk at the MOMA w/ Mr. Tom
-Old High school friend's visit to NYC
-making my Princess Peach costume (and maybe a Yoshi costume too....)
[Lovely sunrise I snapped outside my window the minute after I got out of bed.]
-carving pumpkins
-making candied pecans once the nights become too cold to be outside too much
