Do you know how much I love fall weekends?
(I know, it’s technically not fall for about another week, but it sure feels like it now.)
This weekend was pretty much perfect. It started out with a Friday night at Jessi’s adorable new apartment.

We laid around and talked for 6 hours about life, purpose, hair braiding, and how much we secretly love Miley Cyrus…

…before deciding to go out at 1:30am to meet up with some friends, then we had one last sleepover before she gets hitched!
Saturday was pretty low key. I took a 45 minute walk home and listened to this amazing podcast on Psalm 41-43.
Got some greens in for lunch…

…and opened this surprise swag bag from Bethenny! I’m gonna be like, so skinny now 😉

On Saturday night I went out in the West Village with a bunch of friends. What started as a chill night somehow turned into ridiculousness. In a good way.

(^^ check out creepy eyes in the background, haha)

Oh Monica, how I love you 
Today was spent being lazy, for the most part (unless you consider it productive to stay in bed until noon on Pinterest. Ahem). I did manage to go grocery shopping, where they finally put out PUMPKINS! Even though pumpkins and NYC apartments don’t really mesh well…

I also got the fixins for this big ol’ healthy lunch. Plantain chips + roasted sweet potato + garlicky kale, with an artsy photo to show for it.

After spending the rest of the day catching up on work, I made myself presentable for the night ahead.

Then I headed to church, which was our first Sunday at Union Square Ballroom. The message was amazing, and I even got to meet some lovely blog readers 
After church was a cozy dinner out, and now here I am about to watch tonight’s (DVRed) Breaking Bad. Probably not the best choice of television to watch before I go to bed, but oh well…
Will leave you with some inspiration for this week!

What was the highlight of your weekend?
