Fall

Lately the weather here has been fall weather. I know, I know it is still technically still summer, but right now it is 59 degrees outside, and yesterday was even cooler (but being Southern Illinois it is supposed to be 90 on Thursday.). Fall is my favorite season! Jeans and hoodies, soup, bike rides, pumpkin spice coffee, peanuts & candy corn, open windows, walks in the cool evening. It is the best! 

Yesterday I went on a bike ride in pants and a t-shirt, then I came home and made broccoli cheddar soup and croissants, then I went outside and read on my porch! It was the best fall evening. Every year around this time I get super excited (because of fall) but for another reason. In exactly 12 days will mark the 6 year anniversary of Matt and I getting together. Now, I know our marriage date is our actual anniversary, but I can't neglect the date that made it all happen! 

When we first started dating on September 28, 2007 we spent a lot of time at my grandma's farm (I was living there at the time.) We would walk around her pond late into the night/morning. We would grab a blanket, spread it out on the grass next to the pond and star gaze, while learning more about each other. We spent a lot of time outside in the fall air, it was great! 

Go outside and enjoy the fall air!!
