this week was good because of...

...an amazing date with Wildcat Guy...

...wearing my fabulous new boots...

...seeing one of my favorite bands in concert...



...in an awesome location.



...getting involved in a women's ministry opportunity at church.

...heartfelt conversations with Wildcat Guy.

...henna tattoos at the campus' fall festival.

...hearing the music of Ben Sollee for the first time.

...a unique marketing packet from a women's group.

...the season premiere of "Real Housewives of Atlanta."



...a fun Halloween box from my favorite donut place.



...discovering the pumpkin spice donut at Krispy Kreme. (How did I not ever know about these before??)

..."cracking" a judicial case I've been working on, and the amusing satisfaction of getting students to share the most truthful version of the story possible.



...the return of Honey Crisp apples to the grocery store.
