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

Learning Curve

As I sit here this morning trying to put all the words that are in my head onto this paper I am having a hard time coming up with the right way to describe what I am hoping to change/do with this blog in this new season of my life. See writing has always been a passion of mine , but finding the time , finding the bravery , and just doing it is where I have struggled. I have kept this blog as more of a personal place where I write about what life is like as a Wilson here on Dusk Way , but over the years I have had dreams of making it into more of a lifestyle blog . I have so many passions and thoughts that run through my head on a daily basis but fear has held me back time and time again. Fear of not being a successful blogger , fear of what friends and family would think , and most of all fear of letting myself down . But now it is time to put that fear aside and just write, so hopefully this blog will be going through a learning curve . Ideally this blog will move from...

My Side Of That Horrific Day

Today is September 1st which in it of itself brings so many wonderful things. The start of football, which is just absolutely perfect, the start of pumpkin spice everything, and the start of Spinal Cord Injury Awareness month. This month is something that honestly up until four years ago I had no idea existed, but four years ago we joined a very rare club and our lives have looked different since. Over 200,000 people live with a SCI in the United States and Kaleb is just one of them. The next month my goal is to share my side of Kaleb's injury, Kaleb's side of his injury, the road to recovery, and where we are today.  November 10th 2012, the day our world changed forever. This was one of those days that I will remember every moment, every detail, and every emotion. I had just turned 21 five days prior and was still living in the birthday celebration glow. That morning was busy with trying to get things done through out the day so that I could head to a family member's ho...

It's Okay to Not Be Okay

How often do we go through life pretending that everything is great; we post only the best photos, we smile when we would rather cry, and we float through life faking it the best we can. We run into friends at church on Sunday mornings and chat about how wonderful we are and how great everything is, but we leave out the fact that all we could really use is a hug and a gentle reminder that it's perfectly okay to not be okay. In fact the crazy part of it all is it's perfectly normal to go through life with emotions, heck Jesus himself felt emotions. I'm sure we all remember when he got mad in the temple and flipped the table, well in that moment he wasn't okay. As a new mom still adjusting to this wonderful world of motherhood I find myself not okay pretty often. I'm either exhausted because the baby didn't sleep or because the baby nursed all day, or I'm feeling a little lost trying to rediscover my role as Brittany, or I'm just a little anxious becaus...
