Fall Colors

I have the sweetest boyfriend!! Yesterday Brooks drove me up to the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia to see the fall colors. The other day he had told me that he knew that we had a change of seasons out in Oregon and he wanted to share the seasons here with me.

After breakfast, we got ready and hit the road. We drove about an hour and found Lovers Leap. The view was breathtaking!!

Afterwards we drove about another mile down the road and found an adorable country store. We stocked up on a few essentials like apple butter, strawberry preserves and a few snack items and a couple honey crisp apples, all fresh from the farm! Oh and a mini-apple pie!! That was fantastic!! I easily could have gone nuts and loaded up on a bit of everything they had there!! In my drunken-stooper of "OMG LOOK AT THAT!" I grabbed a bag of funnel cake mix and accidentally put the pancake mix i had in hand down to look at something else i just had to have. Hmm...perhaps it was the preserves. Well so much for an amazing breakfast tomorrow. Now we'll just have to settle for store bought mix instead. ;)

My sweetie and I

It really is the little things. I've dated guys who could care less about anything that i liked, thought was beautiful, wanted to do, or places i dreamed of seeing. Brooks is definitely one in a million! He's thoughtful, kind, sweet, romantic (which let me just tell you i NEVER thought i'd find a romantic guy!! I heard they were all extinct!), and wants to make me happy. I definitely don't take any of it for granted. Been through too much crap for that. I'm a very lucky girl and i know it!!
