This Fall

As a teenager, I had mixed feelings about fall. I loved heading back to school because it meant cheerleading, friends, and football games. I did not like the changing leaves because it meant winter was coming. Now, as an adult living far away from the true seasons, I miss the changing leaves in fall. I am looking forward to cooler weather and long sleeve shirts. I want to put on jeans and rake leaves into a big pile for the kids to jump in. (This will happen but it will be a small pile and it could be November.) I think that the cure will be heading back home to IN and MI again and going up to the mountains. Ohhhh I would love to go up there tomorrow and spend the day. It is so pretty! I am slightly envious of my friend Lisa who is spending next week camping there. :) I am not ready to camp with Brody and Makena but would love to enjoy the mountains. Happy fall to you!
