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

It's a Family Tradition

"Traditions are behaviors and actions that you engage in again and again – regular rituals that you perform at the same time and/or in the same way. Traditions can be big or small, but they differ from routines and habits in that they are done with a specific  purpose  in mind and require  thought  and  intentionality . Meg Cox, the author of  The Book of New Family Traditions , defines family ritual as “any activity you purposefully repeat together as a family that includes  heightened attentiveness  and  something extra that lifts it above the ordinary ruts .” Traditions, when done right, lend a certain magic, spirit, and texture to our everyday lives." Brett and Kate McKay As we approach the wonderful holiday season my heart begins to journey  back to childhood memories and the family traditions that make those memories so perfect. I come from a large family filled with lots of cousins, tons of laughter, and of course many tradit...

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...

Remembering November

Well, hello there November, and yes I am aware that it is November 3rd and well I should have written this three days ago, but anyway  November has always been one of my absolute favorite months, for well the obvious, Thanksgiving, fall decorations, and MY BIRTHDAY! Which is in two days, I'm like V for Vendetta REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER. All of these awesome things are reasons to absolutely adore November, however two years ago November also developed a very different feeling.  November 10th will mark the two year anniversary since Kaleb's accident. And though I will always love November I now have a heavy heart as we fast approach that day. It is as though every birthday will in some odd way be a reminder of my 21st which is what I was celebrating when I received the phone call that forever changed our lives. Every Thanksgiving as joyous and wonderful as it will be will also remind me of the saddes...
