It's right around the corner....

Fall is right around the corner! I have to say that fall is my favorite season.

A little over a year ago I asked my husband to build us a fire pit and I am so glad he did.  It's our favorite place in our yard.  It's not very fancy, but it brings our little family together for warm fires, marshmallows roasting, and lots of talking and laughing.  My daughter and her friends love sitting out there too.

A few reasons that make Fall my favorite season:

Sitting by the fire pit
Leaves falling
The many colors of Fall
Apple Cider
Hot Chocolate with marshmallows
Spice or Pumpkin Candles burning
The crisp air
Football
Thanksgiving
                                                                                                                                                           

Ready for the change....

So you probably already noticed the change...on my blog. I am getting ready for Fall.

I love Fall, it's my favorite season. I love the colors of the leaves changing, the cooler air, and the smells of Fall scented candles filling the room. School is in full swing around here. Homework is starting to roll in. So before it got to crazy we decided to spend one more day at the beach. Last Thursday Shelby turned 13....YIKES...I have a teenager in the house now. And my birthday was Sunday so I wanted to have just one more relaxing day.

(blowing her candles out.....)

I suggested that I wanted no gift, but to ride to the beach and sit and enjoy our time. (Hubby and daughter did surprise me with a book. Have you seen the movie: Eat Pray Love with Julia Roberts?? They got the book for me to read, I love it so far....so now I can't wait to finish so I can watch the movie) The beach was nice. It was hard to believe we have Hurricane Danielle and Hurricane Earl sitting out there near our beach. The water was a little rough but not to bad.
