I've already posted about my new apartment, which I've come to adore now! I haven't been able to decorate quite like I want to, but I'm deciding to see it as a constant goal instead of a task that needs to get done. I also made a little cook book just for family recipes with the cutest turquoise Martha Stewart notebook! As for an investment camera bag, I wouldn't call my newest addition an "investment," but it is the perfect size and look for what I need, and Target has definitely impressed me. My birthday dream came true in August when I pet a horse (squeals), and I found out I'm definitely a whiskey girl after treating my mom to a whiskey sour on my birthday! In October I visited Boone Hall, which was beautiful, and November was huge for me, as I got to see Macklemore in Raleigh AND see Carolina beat Clemson last weekend!
I'm so excited to work towards #96, #70, and #51 over Christmas break! Do any of y'all have 1001 in 101 lists? I definitely want to see!
