The Way I See it...: High Five for Friday

Hello, Friday...where ya been!? I don't know about you, but I am so glad this week is o.v.e.r. I am exhausted. I still have not fully recovered from my busy weekend, so I am looking forward to not doing much of anything for the next day or two. Here are some of my favorite things from my week....

Have I mentioned that I LoVe Fall?
Well, I do....it is beautiful outside. Wow!

This is the Cook family farm ...3C Farms...on a beautiful Fall day this week...

the trees in my Grandmother's front yard are gorgeous...

I could seriously sit in her yard and be content for hours watching the colorful leaves fall to the ground....Remember when you were little and you would rake all of the leaves up, then run and jump in them...? I did that a lot in this front yard!! Those were some of the best days of my life...It really makes me miss my Grandmother..it's been five years since she has been gone. If only I could sit in the front yard with her, and talk to her one more time..

This was one my dates for a wedding over the weekend...

My other date wouldn't sit still long enough to have his picture taken, but my sweet boy gave me this pretty bouquet of leaves...

The wedding was in the middle of no where...I have to admit it is probably the prettiest wedding I have ever been to. The scenery was amazing...

The guys were planning to go to the Ducks Unlimited banquet immediately after the wedding...I thought maybe I would finally get some rest, but no such luck. At the last minute they talked me into going with them. It was my Dad's and Trey's birthday, so I decided it would be fun to spend some time with the two of them, and Trey was really excited for me to go...

I ended up having a great time..

We seriously racked up with some goodies from the raffle...

Anyone need a duck call, or a knife...? I'm your girl...Really! We came home with about 6 calls, and 9 knives..I found two duck calls in my purse this week...that I did not put there, and my house has sounded like the duck commander headquarters for the last five days...which, by the way, is super annoying..They shouldn't be surprised if some duck calls go missing soon..just saying..

I was really, really hoping I would win this DU hat with pink embroidery.

annnd...I totally won it!!

and I got to sit next to this guy all night...
I am so glad I decided to go....
Love my Dad!!

I'm not much of a candy eater, but I do have a few favorites that I like from time to time. I have been looking for these strawberry candies for months...I have been craving them so much that I even added them to my Christmas list for stocking stuffers. I figured if I couldn't find them, then maybe someone else could..? I was so excited when I finally found some yesterday...I wish they weren't so hard to find!

Earlier this week I watched Autumn, the giraffe, give birth to her first calf via giraffe cam at earthcam.com. It was the neatest thing ever! I watched the super long birthing process, which I was completely fascinated by...I couldn't take my eyes off my computer screen. When it was finally born, and by born I mean it flew out at lightening speed, and fell flat on the floor..hard..if you blinked you might have missed it...luckily, I didn't blink. Then it layed on the ground not moving for so long that I was seriously scared it did not make it, but finally I saw movement, and you could see it breathing. I watched for about an hour while the baby finally took in the world around it, and tried to stand up. I fell asleep after watching the poor thing face plant about a dozen times...I did manage to get some sweet pictures...

My three furry guys have also had fun playing in the leaves. They like to sit at the top of a small hill in my backyard and watch the leaves fall...Every time I try to take a picture of them sitting there, they run towards me...So, this is the result of that..I think they were racing to see who could get to me the fastest..Scuba won by a nose...or a paw...
