Amazing Fall!!

Every year I wait for the weather to turn cool. For the days when I use the heat and the A/C in my car all in the same day! For the 55 degree mornings and 72 degree afternoons. The time when the leaves migrate from summer green to all the lovely reds, browns, and yellows. This time of year often means the end of green, the end of blooming flowers, the beginning of a long period of colorless, frigid days. But I enjoy it all the same. Maybe it’s b/c I grew up having all the seasons and have become accustom. But I don’t think so. I believe there is a time and place for all the seasons. I love the sweatshirts and football and bonfires and Halloween candy that fall promises. I enjoy sweaters and boots and fireplace afternoons in January. The slower pace of things that winter brings. I love the annual trip to buy flowers and the promise of that first shot of warmth in March or April. I love the heat of July and August when it’s too hot to do anything but lay by the pool to stay cool. However, I have to say that fall is my favorite. I think we have the most beautiful weather in the fall…the trees are brilliant…I celebrated my wedding in the fall…one of my favorite traditions of all time is going to the apple farm and picking apples and pumpkins (this is second to tree cutting/trimming at Christmas time).

Our first official Fall Event was two Friday's ago! We ventured to the Balloon Glow in Forest Park with the Cincoski’s! What a fun and relaxing night!! The weather was perfect! We’d love to make it a tradition! You can see pictures on Steff’s blog here. Also, I included some pictures here that we snapped!
