Loving Fall

Besides Summer, Fall is my favorite season! It is just beautiful! I am so excited that this year we are actually having a fall that has lasted more than a few days! Usually by this time last year we would have a foot of snow on the ground! So today I'm grateful for fall and the fiery, beautiful, colors, smells, and holidays that come with it!

 corn mazes are always a fun fall activity!

 The mountains are on fire with oranges, yellows, and reds. So beautiful! Reminds me of Boston (where I lived for about five years)

 Ty and I taking a hike in the mountains and enjoying the beauty all around.

I absolutely love walking to class in the fall and hearing the crunching leaves under my feet and watching the leaves gently fall from the trees. It's so beautiful! It's almost as if it is gently snowing leaves.

Long Weekend

It's fall break and I couldn't be more happy that it's here! No school, which means I get to spend more time with this boy right here! Can't wait!!

The College Life...

New home. New school. New friends. And new blog title! So this post is wayyy past overdue! There has just been so much going on that I haven't had the time to actually write a good post! So here it is! Better late than never right?

So living on my own has definitely been amazing! I absolutely love the freedom and fun times that I've had so far. My roommates are just awesome and we always party it up. UVU is alright, but I definitely want to transfer to BYU after I get my generals done. I'm about 90 percent sure that I want to be a performance major/musical dance theatre major. And 100 percent sure that I want to be a young ambassador at BYU one day. As for the apartments I'm living in... I hate it. Don't get me wrong, the apartment is pretty nice but everyone is sooo old here!! There is no one our age so it's been kind of a challenge to make friends that have our same interests. Luckily we found a group of cute girls that are so much fun to hang out with. College is HARD but I actually love the classes! I'm always studying and doing homework but so far it's totally paid off! I'm basically loving the college life! Oh and I totally changed the title of my blog to "simply smiling" so now it's just a fun blog about my life instead of my photography, (there's another blog about that he he) www.emiliewphotography.blogspot.com! Well that's all for now! Get ready for a lot of pictures ;)

 Laundry time!!

 Yes, I wanted to see if I could fit.
