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! :)
