Welcome Autumn
This is my favorite time of year--cooler days, chilly nights and the beautiful colors on the trees. Last week I pulled out all of my decorations for the season (my girlfriend thought I was crazy!) and set them up. The smell of my pumpkin spice candle has been filling the house ever since!
I am even more excited about this year because my daughter is at an age where a trip to the pumpkin patch will be so much fun! I loved those times when I was a child--going to the apple orchard to get apple cider and then the tractor ride down to the pumpkin patch to choose the perfect one to take home. I look forward to starting our own family traditions with our daughter.
The past week there have been many appointments, countless errands, the continuation of home renovations and a trip to the auto mechanic this morning (fingers crossed it will be a reasonable bill). I wasn't feeling well for a few days which didn't help my motivation to get my schoolwork done. I did a little each day but wished I had the energy to do more.
I did manage to start my Christmas shopping though! Thanks to the Internet, my shopping is done early each year. I very rarely shop in-store now as the online market has become so competitive. It really doesn't pay to take the time (and use any more gas than necessary) to drive to the store.
This weekend my husband and I will be attending a wedding. I am really looking forward to it, even though I will not know anyone there as this is a gentleman that my husband used to work with. I have noticed over the past couple of years that "dressing up" for me consists of jeans and T-shirt. I have definitely become very relaxed in my outfit selection each day as I spend most of it sitting in front of my computer. Needless to say, I bought a new outfit for this wedding and am looking forward to getting all dressed up! My husband and I had our wedding in the Fall as well--it really is a great time of year to get married.
After the festivities of the wedding, it will be back to studying and hopefully a quieter week ahead. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
