Things I Want To Do This Fall

I got the flu yesterday which isn´t that cool because being sick sucks. But on the other hand I got to stay at home and I didn´t have to go to school, yay! And while I was being cuddled up in my bed and sipping on my tea, it got me thinking about all the things I want to do this fall. So I created this little list.

Make my room "fall-ish" - I´ve already taken down all of my summer decorations and now it´s time for fall room decor! I got into decorating my room only a few months ago so I don´t really have much fall themed room decor. But maybe by changing up my pillows and blankets I can create a more cozy and fall-ish vibe in my room. Also there are so many cool DIYs out there so I might try out a few of these... Maybe I´ll do a blogpost about room decor in the future ;)

Stay fit - The upcoming holidays in fall and also winter will probably bring a lot of food and sweets with them so maybe it´s not that bad to start exercising and jogging while the weather still allows that.

 Read at least 2 books this month - When I was younger I used to read a lot but when getting into middle school and high school I read less and less which is actually really sad just because reading is so fun. I´ve always been one of those people who gets really involved when reading, like I would really feel the thrill with the main character and if there were sad parts I would cry so many times... (I think I can´t count the amount of tissues I needed while reading Insurgent...) well anyways. I just want to try to read more this fall. Maybe in front of the window, when it´s raining and with a cup of tea...

 Bake cookies and pies - I´m not that great at baking or cooking. My mother is kind of a good cook and so is my sister. I guess that I´m just not blessed with that talent but still I find baking really cool! Particularly when you are done with the baking and you look at the result and you can be really proud of what you´ve done. (Also you can eat it afterwards so :D)

Carve a pumpkin- I know this is kind of a silly one but even when I was little we never used to do this and I did it last year and it was really fun so I really want to do it this year as well. 

Have a sleepover with my best friends - Me and my best friends don´t go to the same school anymore (we used to in elementary school.) Sadly we don´t see each other that often so I think it would be really cool if we did a sleepover where we cook dinner together, do some catch up and watched some films together. We could also do like a pamper night or something like that...

Draw again - I love drawing and creating things, but lately I didn´t pick up the pencil that often even though I had lots of time! I´m hoping that fall with all its different colors and looks will inspire me to draw again, because I do miss it.

Diary | A Little Trip

 So a few days ago I went on a little two day trip to visit my godparents.

 Since they don´t live that near I´m not able to see them that often. Therefore I was really excited to meet them again. My godfather co owns a gyro copter (quite similar to a helicopter just a little smaller and less expensive. Just google it if you are interested) so he took me on a flight with him. I had already been on a flight with him before but this time we flew a little longer and over a river. It was such a great experience, even better than the last time. As soon as we had started and had gained some height the streets, cars, houses and people got smaller and smaller and the earth looked like one big patchwork rug. The sounds of the busy city became silent and the only noises you were able to hear were the wind and the engine of the gyro copter. I found it very relaxing to take a break from everyday life and I genuinely enjoyed our flight.

 I wanna share a few of the pictures I took with you...

After arriving at my godparents´ apartment we spent some time together. They are in the process of building a new house, so they showed me a few plans of the rooms and we talked about this and that. We cooked dinner and later in the evening we played at cards. I stayed the night on one of those sofas, which you can turn into a bed. Even though it might sound uncomfortable, I actually slept very well.

The next morning my godfather made some pancakes for breakfast and I had a little cup of tea on the balcony. It was really lovely! The sun had just risen and it was already quite warm. After breakfast we went on a hike in the forest where we took some pictures for a project that my godparents are supporting.  

Later that day we met up in a near city with my parents. We walked around the pedestrian area and along the river that ran through the city, got some ice cream and did some shopping. I also tried to teach my mother how to take a decent selfie, which didn´t quite work out. Well at least I tried right?
In the evening we had a lovely dinner in the backyard of a small restaurant that we found in one of the streets. It had such a calming, peaceful and romantic vibe. It made you feel as if you were on vacation in Italy or something like that! And the food was delicious...
