Colours of Fall

It was a perfect day for a bike ride indeed. On saturday, I tested out my new bike rack for the car. While riding to the park , I frequently and anxiously kept checking the back window to make sure our bikes have't fallen off the car. Luckily, our bikes made it safely to the park. Mike and I rode our bikes, ate cheese curds, and looked at the expensive hidden houses behind the trees. The weather was perfect and just had a perfect amount of breeze to stop me from being overheated and gross feeling like in the summer. The trees looked beautiful in the park. Earlier in the day we were supposed to go apple picking and I had the whole day planned out. We would get up early, pick apples, and then go buy some ingredients at the store and make an apple pie. Unfortunately, my amazing plan got squashed as we drove all the way out to the farm and they said there are no apples to pick ! It really sucked but I am glad we got to go for a bike ride since it might be one of our lasts of the season. We finished our day off by eating popcorn and watching desperate housewives as well as planning a day to go to a haunted corn maze! I am super excited for that. It was a really great much deserved relaxing weekend, but no its back to the grind.I hope everyone was able to enjoy the great weather and had a great weekend!

The cat's meow


You can't tell from this picture, but my shirt has cats on it:). It is my first purchase from modcloth and I could not be more pleased! The colour, the cats and the fit are all purfect ;). I wore this outfit when I had my night psychology class and Mike came to campus with me since I had a really big break before class. It was great for roaming around campus and I had comfortable enough shoes to do some walking!

On saturday, Mike and I went to Canada's wonderland! I drove all the way there but not on the highways as I don't have enough experience for that yet! It took forever without the highway but it was a fun trip. I wore my polka dot jeans for the occasion. My favourite pair of denims at the moment. They're super comfortable and perfect for going on rides!
I did not go on any rides that went upside down because I'm a bit of a baby when it comes to rides. I like rides that are fast and spinny and only have a slight drop. I still went on more rides than I thought I would. The line-ups are usually bad but because it was off season we barley had to wait for any rides. To end off the night we got caramel apples! It was actually my first time having one since I always go for the candy apple. Saturday, was a great break from all the homework I have been doing and it was great not having to think about all the tasks I have to do even if it was just for one day. Now, it is Monday and that unfortunately means that I have to get back to all the homework waiting for me to get completed. I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and Monday!

Bad Cover Band

This weekend was a very good one! It started off with going to Cora's for breakfast. A delicious breakfast place with large portions and so much fruit! I had a raspberry crepe that was stuffed with raspberries and cream cheese. It was very good! Next, Mike and I went downtown and looked at some thrift shops and mike found some really nice shoes for 14 bucks! I was not so lucky but it was fun searching! We also stopped at Starbucks and had a pumpkin spice latte mmmmm.....now that I think of it I want one right now! After sipping lattes we decided to get ready and go out to the bars for the night. I had one to many ciders and we ended up dancing to a band with no members under the age 50 singing covers that were just so bad but so funny to dance too. All in all, such a fun weekend! The walk around downtown and the pumpkin spice lattes and the ciders got me thinking of how much I love fall ( besides the crazy amount of readings and notes I have to do). I love the leaves changing colour, I like walking around campus and not feeling all gross and sweaty, and I like wearing fall fashion and fall colours.
Shirt: Winners, Skirt: Forever 21, Purse: thrifted, Tights: Wal-mart
                                                                                                 

Well I hope everyone had a great monday! Below are some photos Mike took when he visited me on campus!

School days are here

School has been taking over my life at the moment with hours of reading. I guess that is what I get for taking nursing. I thought the first couple of weeks of school would be slack and boy was I ever wrong. Although my life is revolving around school at the moment, it doesn't mean I haven't had time to do anything fun ( or does it?). Anywho I did manage to spend sometime with Mike looking around campus. It felt so weird to be back ! Western's campus is beautiful and even though I was kind of dreading school, being at school made me more excited for it. I am excited to tackle second year.

After the first week of school, Mike and I went to the western fair ( a fair held in London ever year that has been around for quite some time). It always ends up costing way more money than you want to spend but we had a good time going on some rides and eating fair food. I am not a big ride person and people laugh at me when I only want to go on the small rides or spinny rides. I just hate rides that go upside down! In the picture I am posing beside some creepy guy from a haunted house they had there. Unfortunately, we did not go into the house. 

All in all, it was a really good time and I look forward to doing more fall activities with friends and Mike. Corn mazes, haunted hay rides and hikes here I come:)
