Fall, My Love

Hello, classmates!  I hope everyone is having a good start to the new semester.  This is my first semester taking classes on campus full-time.  I was pretty nervous about it at first, but I am really enjoying it so far!  Things have been a little hectic, as I am having to move without much notice and totally unplanned.  Sometimes life throws us a curveball though, right?  I decided I am going to write about Fall and the gorgeous weather we've been experiencing.  Sounds lame, huh?  There is just something about this time of year that makes me incredibly happy.  Maybe it's because my birthday is in October, or because my son's birthday is this week.  I live for this cool weather, the changing colors of the leaves, the smell of pumpkins and apples and caramel and spices, going to the pumpkin patch and hayrides.  It's hard not to be in a great mood and just have a huge smile on my face during this time.    Every year my son and I have such a fun time decorating our home for Halloween.  We have a life-sized butler who holds a skull on his platter and greets guests when they walk in the door.  It always gets a lot of attention and some of my friends think I'm a little crazy!  haha.  Anyway, we have fun around here and I wouldn't want it any other way!
