Happy Fall to All!
Fall is my very favorite time of the year. I love the way the slightly cool air hits you in the face when you walk out your door in the mornings. I like to watch the trees change to hues of red, orange and yellow. The peacefulness that comes from the sound of animals storing food and settling in for a long winter, of leaves rusting to the ground, comforts me and simply reminds me of God’s gentle hand. October is a wonderful month for me and Matt. Both of our birthday’s are in October as well as our anniversary. We are leaving on vacation this Thursday as my school will be on fall break. It will be nice to spend time together doing whatever we want to do without the worries of everyday life crowding in. So far this fall, Matt and I have had the opportunity to accompany his brother-in-law and sister as they took our nephew, Ty, to the pumpkin patch for the first time. His little hands were adorable as they picked a tiny pumpkin from the patch. Perhaps my favorite memory of this fall so far is the one of Ty singing “Happy Birthday” to his Uncle Matt. It was such a sweet moment and such a sweet voice. There are so many priceless moments in life and I have learned to cherish everyone I get to be a part of. Happy Fall to All! May these gentle days bring you much joy.
