Now that i've officially and respectfully said farewell to dearest October, I welcome November with open arms!

I have to share these pictures from the hike I went on yesterday.
This weekend has been beautiful.

The best part about this hike was that it wasn't even cold. Just look at that shining sun! I'm so ready for snowshoeing season!

I can't believe that I used to hate the outdoors. Taking more than ten steps away from cell phone service  and having to wear sneakers used to freak me out. NOW look at me! I'm miles and miles away from civilization, wearing the bulkiest hiking boots and i'm "effing" stoked.
