It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year...

...well almost. I absolutely LOVE,LOVE,LOVE fall. There isnt one thing I can think of that I dont like. One thing about living in Florida is that at least is cools down from our hot summers and this summer has been record hot at least it feels that way to me. Although this summer has been fun. I have been able to spend lots of time with my nieces and I know that will change a little more once school starts although I might actually get my baby (she doesnt think so) niece more as my sister in law is going back to school the same time my two older nieces go back to school; but anyways enough about summer. I love fall for the cooler weather, falling leaves, open windows and doors, fire in the fireplace, my anniversary, pumpkins, scarecrows (although those are actually more springtime and summer), sweaters, jackets, hot apple cider. Than there are the emotions that go along at least for me, I always feel closer to family in the fall and winter maybe because of all the holidays, and thankfulness, and gratefulness, and blessedness (if that is a word). Also another thing about fall that tops my list is that my absolute favorite holiday is coming and that is Christmas of course with Christmas comes hot cocoa and carols and christmas lights and buying presents and giving gifts. This next season makes me very reflective on all of the blessings I have in my life and how thankful I am for them. This year I do have one more thing to be very thankful for and that is the fact that I have been married for 1 year this october. I can't believe its already been a year, I thought for sure this year would go by so slowly and for whoever said that the first year of marriage is the hardest I sure wish they could have had our first year, It was actually pretty easy. I am so thankful even now.

Goal for the End of the year! (Originally titled Goal for April!)

So I have decided I definitely need to set goals in order to accomplish the rest of the unpacking. (yes after almost 11 months there are still boxes) Also I need to get the decorating on the way and finished although it took me a little over 2 years to hang up any pictures in my apartment and I already have pictures out and on the walls here already. (YAY! for that) My next goal to accomplish is to set up my office/craft room. I spent two or three hours unpacking stuff on sunday now today I am going to hopefully get some things moved into the closet and some pictures and shelves hung on the wall. I will be so happy when that is finished and I have it all done. I am on the look out for a big comfy arm chair to go in the corner for a little reading corner. So I still have boxes that need unpacking upstairs in my office. Although I have managed to get new furniture and rearrange my living room a bit and get some more stuff hung up in there. I am now working on a collage frame for our bedroom to hang up. Hopefully will be able to get that done in the next couple of weeks and hung up. I am waiting for it to really cool down before I do a lot of work upstairs as our ac has been out since the end of may on the main part of the house and as a home owner there is no landlord or anyone else to go to that will fix the ac or put in money to help so we are trying to save up the 3500.00 needed to replace the inside and outside units. Thankfully because of the way the house is built we have 3 seperate units on our house and we have air where our bedrooms and our downstairs office and dining room is at. Our roommate does have a window for her room and bathroom upstairs, which makes the house pretty managable and with all the rain we have been having we have been pretty cool in the downstairs part of the main house. Anyways I know its been forever since I have blogged on here and there really isnt anything major happening in our lives that has stopped me, life has just been busy but pretty mundane so not really anything to write about. Jeremy is going to become an ordained minister through Liberty Network, which is through our church. That will happen wednesday night and we are pretty excited about it. YAY!!!! I know this is really exciting for my hubby. We have been keeping my nieces on Sunday and monday night and part of tuesday. I am so excited because my oldest niece is coming home tomorrow from almost 2 months being gone in California with her dad and I get to have her on monday night with her sisters at my house. Tomorrow I get my baby niece which I love having she is so stinking cute and her new thing is knock knock jokes. My brother and sister in law just moved to a new house and she was so excited when I brought her back to the house she was running around saying I love my new house I love my new house. Well there isnt much else to write about not a lot new going on. I am going to try better to keep this up to date more.

Fun Friday
