I have not been on my blogging game lately, sorry about that! I really do love doing this and keeping up with my whole college experience, but
Two weekends ago I had my fall break, which was not nearly long enough. I was able to bring my roommate, Laura, home with me and show her around. That was so much fun and I'm so happy she went with me!
I may be a present-day procrastinator, but I'm planning my future (like 5-10 year future) all the time! I have a really great interest in teaching in South Carolina after I graduate from UNCC. I have heard wonderful things about the Pawley's Island area (most importantly it's close to home) and I wanted to check it out for future reference. My parents, Laura, and myself spent the day in the area on that Sunday and it was so pretty! We ate at a local restaurant called Nosh for brunch and I had the most delicious French toast in the whole world.
Afterwards, we walked around and window-shopped the little stores. We spent most of our day at Brookgreen Gardens. I had never been there before and it was one of the most beautiful places. The weather was perfect and they had a cute little fall festival going on. If you have never been there, I would definitely suggest it. It's basically a huge garden with so many different flowers, plants, art, and sculptures throughout it. I'm not doing it any justice with my words, but check out the website and plan yourself a visit!
Just one of the many sculptures.

Laura is a photographer, so we also spent the weekend doing mini photo shoots. She captured this one of my presh parents and I love it.
The next day I took Laura to Wilmington. I love the downtown Wilmington area and I wanted her to check it out too. One of our favorite shows, One Tree Hill, was also filmed there, (fangirl moment) so we checked out some of the characters' houses! That was a really fun experience!
Lucas Scott's house!
The infamous door he had painted red for Brooke.
B. Davis' house!
Peyton Sawyer's house!
After our mini OTH tour, we drove around downtown finding a few places to park and take some pictures. We took turns being models. We both got some really great shots of each other. We found some places that had neat things we could pose on, like an alley staircase and the oldest standing structure in Wilmington's beautiful brick walls!
Just four of the 19475028347104 many pictures we took!
The trip was pretty successful if I do say so! I had a lot of fun showing Laura around my hometown too. We came back to campus on that Tuesday and officially ended our trip. Mom and dad are steadily working on the new house and plan to be in it by the end of this month! It is so exciting. I will come home for Thanksgiving (probably sooner) to a brand new house that they have worked so hard on! It is coming together so nicely and I'm thrilled to see the completely finished product.
Be on the look out for a post all about the new house soon! I hope everyone is having a fantastic Monday and your week goes even better. Thanks for reading!
