seasons change, people change...

One thing about living here in the dirty ol' South is just really how beautiful it is here. The weather is pretty nice year round [once you get past the yucky humidity during the Summers]. But the two best seasons here (and in my opinion just about anywhere you live) are Spring and Fall. Living in the mountains most of my life the Fall ended mid-October as far as leaf color change. Not here... we're just NOW full force changing mode. The leaves are especially beautiful today. This of course brings me warm fuzzies and not from the temperature which was supposed to be topped out at 75 today. But because it's automatic for my senses to start going into holiday mode and I LOVE IT! It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is a mere 3 weeks away from today. Next weekend we are going to THIS cabin with some friends and are super excited! I hope the leaves stay pretty while we're there. We're going to have a little mini-Thanksgiving dinner! I can't wait! It should be nice and relaxing and all cabin-ny.
Here are some picts to enjoy!
These first couple are from my cell phone in our pretty neighborhood. (not the greatest quality)

You Might Be a Big Fish in a Little Pond

Here's the thing, I AM SO TIRED! (Imagine if you can me saying that with a lot of emotion and conviction!) I AM FALLING asleep at my desk. I hate days like this, especially when time just seems to be stuck in some weird black hole for time... n' stuff. But, it's all my fault. I can blame no one else but myself. Last night we were up way TOO late, and the night before as well. Of course that night was because of the election, I wanted to see who our next president was and be excited about history in the making. Last night it was because we went to yet ANOTHER rockin' concert! I mentioned earlier that my company I work for owns a suite at Phillips Arena and because of that you can put in for tickets to ANY of the events at the Arena. Well, I unsuccessfully tried to BUY tickets to Coldplay because they sold out. But because of popular demand, they set up another show and I was LUCKY enough to get FREE tickets for our suite! It was such a nice night. Ash and Jacob to the rescue again... they stayed with Benny so Ryan and I could have an evening out. I love my husband. I love spending time with him. I love that he lets me have my little things that I like to do and that he comes along just because he loves for us to be together. I love how he takes care of me, and watches out for me. I love when he puts his hand on my back when we're walking up stairs in a post-concert crowd in the MARTA station. And how he keeps his arm around me at all times while riding the train or reaches out for my hand in a crowd so we don't get separated. He's my own personal body guard! Which I appreciate because lets be honest, sometimes the MARTA stations are a little on the scary side! I love how gentle he is with me and that he treats me like precious cargo. I have a good man for a husband and am grateful for him everyday. He is an excellent father, and I love how much my boys love each other. They are two peas in a pod!

Anyway... the show was of course amazing. I could go on and on, but in the long run no one probably really cares too much because it's one of those "guess you had to be there" things. It was the second time I've seen them and they just put on a good show. The pictures are to show you just how SWEET the SUITE seats were! We scored! I wont lie though, a little awkward sitting next to my boss though! It was all good, like I usually do I zoned everyone out and focused on the music, lights, and musicians. My name is Heather, and I am a concert junkie.
