It's Fall... And I'm lovin' it!

To me, there are two times of the year that are the best; first is in the Spring when life is being breathed back into the winter torn nature and it's starting to become warmer and bearable outside. You can start hearing the birds singing again, and the beautiful blossoms on the trees and the deep blue skies. I also love the Fall when it's starting to FINALLY cool down and the leaves change into beautiful colors and there's that great breeze and smell in the air. It's also like a precursor for the Holiday's for me too. It means that Halloween is right around the corner, then shortly after that it's Thanksgiving... Then shortly after that it's already Christmas! After New Year's though I'm done with the winter and am already looking forward to Spring again. But until then, I am super excited! I love wearing sweaters and warm clothes and cuddling up in nice comfy soft blankets, and now especially with my boy! I love the activities to look forward to in the Fall too- going to haunted houses, making pies and soup or any comfort food, raking the leaves at my uncle's and jumping in them or burning them is fun too, pigging out at Thanksgiving and chilling with the fam. And then it's already time to start thinking of Christmas presents to buy and getting a Christmas tree and decorating and getting out my Christmas music!!! I love it!
I also wanted to mention that I am so grateful for the people I am surrounded by. I think I've mentioned that before, but I really am so lucky. I get to do so many cool things with them, I get to learn new Gospel principles or about new music or just laugh a lot!!! I feel VERY loved and unworthy of it- but I hope it never ends!
HAPPY FALL!!!!

Here are a bunch of us with the missionaries that have been teaching Ryan. The one on the right has been here through the long haul and goes home this week sadly enough. He's a good man though and I'm so excited for him to get going on his new life back home!
