How fitting that today, the official first day of Fall, is the first day I saw my breath on my morning walk – ahh!

Coupled with this week’s chillier temps is the undeniably beautiful rainbow of colors that tree leaves all over the city have turned into, seemingly overnight. Fluttering to the ground and audibly crunching underfoot. ‘Tis the season! Here are this week’s favorite finds from around the web.

    The highlight of my week was going with a friend for a free meal at the Noodles & Company in Ames… before it opened! The Japanese Pan noodles were amazing! I can’t wait for it to open at the Valley West Mall!

    I’m going on a fall retreat at a camp up north tonight. I can’t wait. It will be so relaxing.

    Good question! It’s important to look back on the positives in the week, not just the negative. Running a half marathon on Sunday with a pre was my favorite part of the week. Finally being able to walk normally again on Thursday was the second!
