Well, I applied for an internship with Disney, but never thought I would get it. So low and behold my shock when I received my acceptance letter. That explains my absence in the last 2 weeks, where I have been trying to decide to go or not and actually accepting. Sooo I am moving to Walt Disney World in February and will be there until August!
I don't think it fully sank in yet that I will be away for 6 months on my own. Even when I went to school, I lived there, but I was in the same town I grew up in so could go home at any point. I am so excited, but at the same time a bit sad that I will be away.
I would also like to say HAPPY VETERANS' DAY to all those out there who served and protected our country. THANK YOU for keeping us safe!

Happy Halloween
Just wanted to wish all of you a Happy Halloween! Stay safe tonight in whatever you do!
Hurricane Sandy
Living in Northeast PA, we were supposed to get part of the brunt of Hurricane Sandy. It's actually become kind of a joke for my bff and I because it seems every year we get storms on or the day after my birthday. 2008 and 2011 were blizzards and this year Sandy. Luckily for us the storm turned, but that just made the devastation that much worse everywhere south of us.
The Jersey Shore is destroyed. NYC is still without power below 38th street along with the flooding everywhere. I am continuing to hold all those affected in my thoughts and prayers.
Here is a good read about NYC, albeit a bit disappointing that it seems the leaders (Governor Cuomo and Mayor Bloomberg) think that Sandy is "behind" them. What about all those who are still impacted by the storm? Outrage in a Powerless Zone

Wish List
My birthday is coming up next week and sine I haven't asked for anything yet, I decided to post a small wish list for my birthday/holiday here. All items are part of the J Crew holiday line. I really don't need anything else, but I love socks and am a sucker for anchors.

Anchor Socks (how CUTE are these??)

Georgetown Cupcakes and Other Stuff!
Hey y'all,
Another week has come to a close and this one brings me to fall break. Kind of funny since my "class" only technically began on Tuesday. Things at school are so crazy and hectic. As much as I can't wait to be done, I really think I am scared to actually be finished with my Master's. Hey, who am I kidding?? For my degree I will never really be finished with school. Ever. Not that I think there is anything wrong with that. Things are always growing and changing and I think that learning is a way to ensure that we will always be on top of the latest education knowledge.
Which brings me to my field trip to Harrisburg on Monday (as long as I am not subbing because I won't turn down work). I need to get my Child Abuse clearance and isn't it almost sad that in order to get it without waiting 8-12 weeks, I will need to drive the 2.5 hours down there (5 hours round trip) to the office. I can't start my practicum without it. Actually, I can't apply to any other districts without it either.
On a happier note, this past Wednesday the Georgetown Cupcake sisters (Sophie and Katherine) were doing a book signing at Bookends in NJ. I, of course, just had to be there because I love them and their cupcakes. For those not familiar they also have a tv show, DC Cupcakes, on TLC. Anyway their latest recipe book, Sweet Celebrations, was released on Tuesday so they are doing a book signing tour. It was super fun! At first they did a small Q&A session for anyone who had questions. Then they signed the books and took pictures with people. They also brought about 20 boxes of yummy cupcakes for people to eat. I was so excited that they brought pumpkin spice because I always wanted to try it. Oh my word! Delicious doesn't even begin to describe it! It was a pumpkin spice cupcake with a maple cream cheese frosting. Sooo good! I almost can't wait for my birthday in order to stop at Georgetown Cupcake in NYC for another.

Lovely Roots Jewelry
Lovely Roots Jewelry is a beautiful brand of jewelry designed and created by my friend Elli. Each piece of jewelry is handmade with care. There is an earthly quality to them because they are made with all-natural stones. The fall collection is created with the mindset that fall is for layering, warm colors, and subtle hues. Here are some of the beautiful pieces that are featured, my favorite being the pink.

Columbus Weekend
Hey Y'all!
Columbus Weekend is here and is the first weekend that I think of as actually being "fall", especially with the weather that we're having. It's cool, mostly cloudy, and even a little rainy. The leaves have begun to change and it's an all around beautiful time. Fall break is this weekend so I am overall getting into the season. Pumpkin is everywhere you look. It's about time for sweater and boot weather.
Here are some of my favorites for the fall.
AE Anchor Sweater
Oxford Favorite Shirt
Dot Pullover Sweater (30% off this weekend!)
Signature Leggings
Everyday Chino (Can dress up or down and such a good price!)
