And that's my month in a nutshell!! This month was filled with so many  fun things, as well as the hard/sad things. Overall it was great <33 How was y'alls month?

DO YOU LIKE PUMPKIN SPICE??

HOW MANY STATES HAVE YOU BEEN TO? 

What I'm learning/learned & books I read this month

apparently he's not that photogenic..

..bookeroos that i read..

-Giraffe

-Shore Road Mystery (yes i still read Hardy Boys xD)

-The winds of Autumn

-The Bluebird + the Sparrow

-Miracles and Moments of Grace

..stuffies that i learned..

Crazy as it may sound..I've been learning a lot about Tourettes Syndrome. ikr, whoa!! How'd I get into that you ask? Well, Jamie Grace had Tourette Syndrome and she overcame it, but she has many videos on it and it has been such an interesting thing to learn about. Really sad, but, these people can either overcome it, or learn to live with it. 

I learned how to make/fry chicken tenders. 

I've been learning so much about people with disabilities, and how we can be so diverse, and have so much in common. <3 To me, everybody, no matter how different is important. 

and so much more, but i can't remember at the moment. :| 

[WARNING] be prepared. I have many more drafts that I'm hoping to finish by the end of Nov, posts shall be flowing. :)

I really like how this turned out!! And yes at  the ending i was like "9 MINUTES AGHH" but then guess what? I TRIMMED IT mwahaha like awesomeness right? XDDDD So it was only 7 minutes, which is record breaking for me. I still totally look awkward and everything, but it's wayyyyy better then previous attempts. ;)
