"There is nothing quite like a Fall day. The cool crisp air, pumpkins in the fields, and playing in the leaves. The smile on your face can warm a chilly day." ~ Unknown
It's here, it's here my favorite time of year! Yep, you guessed it...Fall. As a young child I'm going to say Summer was probably #1 but as I've grown up I've realized that Fall is my all time favorite. There are many reasons but to list a few:
1) My birthday.
2) Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks.
3) College Football
4) The beautiful colors of the leaves as they are changing.
5) The cooler but not too cold weather because it is great for running.
6) Halloween
7) Chili and soup in the Crockpot.
8) Seeing all my JL friends again after the long summer break :)
9) Thanksgiving especially since this year we are hosting the whole family. It should be fun!
10) The anticipation of Christmas and the New Year!
Welcome aboard Matey! We thought it would be fun to start a blog to share our lives with family and friends both near and far so enjoy and please feel free to leave comments. This blog will touch on lots of topics but just to name a few of our favorite things:
This blog is not dedicated to one of these in particular. As our crazy life together continues it's journey I expect it to touch on all of them at various points as well as many, many more so stay tuned to watch it unfold.
This weekend all of the items above are on tap. It should be fun. Today is only Monday and I can hardly wait until the weekend. We are headed to Lake Norman, which is just outside of Charlotte, NC to spend Labor Day weekend.
We have rented a house with our family on the lake. It's going to be so great spending time with everyone and eating lots of great food. The menu so far looks good and as always there is no shortage of food with this clan.
This will be T's first trip to the lake and first boat ride. I'm so excited to see him in the lake and on the boat. He's going to LOVE it! I'm excited too because we are going tubing. Last time I tried this my arms were sore for days. That was actually Labor Day two years ago and I still remember how bad they hurt the next morning.
On Saturday, we are headed to the ECU/VT game. I've literally been counting the days to football season since our big bowl win at the end of last season. A win on Saturday would be fabulous :)
It should be a great weekend as long as the weather holds out and we win! I'll be sure to post pics and a weekend recap sometime next week.
Have a great week everyone!
Love,
S and A
