Falling In Fall!



Happy Fall Y'all! I know we are a week late to the party, but in my defense it is still low 80s here at a mile high! 

It is every female 20 somethings favorite season, and I am right there in that mix celebrating pumpkin spice everything (really I can't stand pumpkin, but I'm all about a good bandwagon)  wearing an over sized sweater and boots half way up my thighs.It is the season filled with God's beautiful falling leaves, cool mornings, and warm days. The season filled with Saturday and Sunday football and so much to be thankful for. 

I always feel like fall is a very romantic season. Maybe because the leaves give me all the feels. Maybe because there are a million different dates you can go on (pumpkin patches, scary movies, looking at leaves, or you know getting lost in a corn field). Maybe because now that we host Thanksgiving it reminds me of all the love that is in our home. Whatever the reason is I just adore fall and all the wonderful things it brings. 

This year is a little bitter sweet for me. This year fall is the last season that we will have as a family of two, which is such a sweet blessing to our life, but I am sad  to lose the relationship we have right now and the way we interact.I will miss the cuddles on the couch, the movie dates we enjoy, the silliness that constantly overcomes us, and the people we are today. I cannot wait for  Kaleb and I to welcome our little bean on"December 9th" or you know somewhere around there, but I will miss these moments. That being said I really want to enjoy fall and this season and create a few more memories just the two of before she comes. 

I want to enjoy our FALL BUCKET LIST! A list filled with things that maybe we have done before and we are just continuing to add them as yearly traditions, a few things we have never done, and a few that need to be done (because I live in a Halmark movie and need these things to happen!). :)


    • The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta (this is a must in my book and always has been, but experiencing it with my husband makes it that much better.)
    • Apple Picking 
    • A drive through the mountains to see the beautiful changing leaves
    • Fall/Thanksgiving decorations throughout the house! (hello hobby lobby)
    • Bake some homemade pies (goaling myself to make an apple pie for the first time.)
    • Visit a pumpkin patch
    • Take family photos- this year will be maternity photos, but I'm excited to have our last photos of just the two of us. 
    • Carve pumpkins
    • Have a thermos picnic 
    • Watch scary movies (I'm currently afraid of our new basement, so this could be a dangerous one)
    • Make smores and have a fire on our new patio
    • Go to a football game
    • Host Thanksgiving
Its a pretty full list, especially considering the fact that we are having a baby in three months, but I am determined to complete it! Also, I always say I'm going to post photos, but this time I really am!! (fingers crossed)

Do you have any fall must dos? I would love to hear about them! :) 


XOXO,
B

To Everything There Is A Season

Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 New International Version (NIV) A Time for Everything 3  There is a time   for everything,      and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2       a time to be born and a time to die,      a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3       a time to kill   and a time to heal,      a time to tear down and a time to build, 4       a time to weep and a time to laugh,      a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5       a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,      a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6       a time to search and a time to give up,      a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7       a time to tear and a time to mend,      a time to be silent  an...

March 30th

The last two months of our lives have been a complete whirlwind of emotion, stress, and utter joy!  On March 19th we were able to endure our first IUI, where I laid very similar to Phoebe in Friend's and prayed with my husband that this would be our first and last IUI. We went in with hopeful heart's and praying minds, and knew the lord had a plan. The following weekend we went on vacation to San Diego where I unfortunately began  to believe that our IUI had not worked, and that we were not pregnant. I experienced cramps, was grumpy to my poor family, and walked around feeling like Shamu on the beach. So obviously I wasn't pregnant, right... Fast forward to March 30th, two days before I was technically supposed to test. It was a Wednesday night, a Wednesday night where I  obsessively thought about nothing else but that I wasn't pregnant. I did what any mildly obsessed woman going though infertily treatments would do, and tested. I jumped in the bath and pretended th...

Eight Months

Well beautiful we are another month closer to your big first birthday. As we inch closer and closer I seem to remember more and more those first moments with you. Like the moment that I finally made it into post op and they put you on my chest, it was as though all the pain of my c section was gone and time stood still. Or the moment of watching your dad and the nurses give you your first bath, I longed to be there by your side but also loved that it was your daddy with you. These moments fill my heart often, but as often as I long for those first few days I am just as eager to see where you go in this great big world. You have so much personality and drive that I know you are going to be one amazing adult. You are strong willed but never will I say that's a bad thing. You are quiet, observant, cautious, and slow. You don't make a single move without thinking it through. Your smile is contagious and you are still rarely seen without it. You are perfect! This month was fi...
