Gah, October? Where did the year go? I'm suddenly realizing we are entering the busiest season of the year and there's going to be tons to do for the next three months. It is unseasonably warmer right now, which makes it harder to believe that it's October. The colors have started changing but it's almost like the trees don't care and aren't even trying to put up a show. Renovation updates At this point, we have completed two weeks in our house while under renovation. Yes, it's every bit as irritating, annoying, frustrating, dusty, and allergy-triggering as they say a renovation can be. But it's also oddly fascinating seeing your house ripped down to the subfloor and peeking inside walls at the things that are typically hidden inside one. It was also satisfying seeing progress made - there's a wall one day, no wall the next day, and then all openings patched up the third day. This coming week is going to see the most progress - the hardwood flooring
I'm finally moving out for good from Blacksburg. In fact, as you read this post, I am already on the road. It feels weird to say that, after being here for two years and looking at this place like home. I'm moving to Lynchburg, which is two hours away. I'm pretty excited to move to a new place, and for the first time, I will be in my own apartment - free to do as I wish, short of bugging the neighbors (which I don't do anyways). It's an exciting thought, because I've always been the kind of person who loves to play house. The first couple of days are going to be really hectic, as I move things out of boxes, and buy furniture for my apartment. Sadly, I won't be getting internet until August 23rd. So I'm going to consider this a getaway vacation, just like the one Molly is on, the only difference is that she is in a very scenic place and getting plenty of rest, whereas I will be running around, LOL!
The other news for the week is that I am going to New York next week, since my brother is coming to the US to study. All this means that I will be on a one week blogging break. I planned to have a few posts scheduled but that didn't pan out. So, instead, I'll return back on the 22nd, this time for good! :-)
Hope I don't miss too much while I'm away!

See you when you get back!
Soon I'll be away from my blog for a while, visiting my hometown, and like you I didn't have time to plan any scheduled posts. So you won't miss very much from my blog :-).
