Fall is Definitely In the Air!

Fall is definitely in the air here in Greeley-finally! There have been cooler days with some rain and clouds and at a local produce store, Sprouts, there are all kinds of squash and pumpkins! I'm trying to look up soup and stew recipes that have a fall taste-yum! I would have to say fall is definitely my favorite season! I love the food, the decorations, the colors, crunchy leaves, and cooler weather! I can't wait until it's actually cold enough to wear sweaters, scarves and cute coats; with October in a week it will be here very soon! Chris and I were thinking of having a pumpkin carving party in a few weeks! We would have a few friends over, BYOP (Bring Your Own Pumpkin), and some snacks and drinks! We've never had our own place to entertain friends and we're itching to host the first one! Before the party though, Chris and I will probably go to a local pumpkin patch/corn maze farm and pick a pumpkin. :) We've never done that before... and we've never been to the zoo-can you believe that?! We have a bucket list going!!

Since the last post Chris and I were tested on, "In Sickness and In Health." I got sick first, thankfully it was only a 24 hour bug but it was the worst; it was like the mini flu. I am so glad Chris was there to take care of me! I am not sure what made me sick but it was the second time since getting married; I have some theories as to the cause and one of them is tomatoes. Maybe I have developed an allergy to them? Who knows! But I am eliminating raw tomatoes from my diet for the next month and seeing if I get sick again or not. (Pray I don't!!!) About a week later Chris got sick too, he had the same symptoms as me (minus the fever) but it only lasted for 24 hours too. Maybe it's stress, the neighbors, germs, cold weather, who knows! 

Pray for health!!

Unfortunately, due to being sick we never got to go see the aspens changing in Estes but it will be there next year. Instead we went to go see a movie (which we haven't done since the honeymoon), we saw, "You Again." It was a really good movie and brought back memories from middle school and high school for both of us-good and bad! It was a good conversation starter AND it was good to go on a date! It's so funny, before we got married we would always go on a date: Starbucks, movies, restaurants, etc. We went out and did stuff, but now that we're married we mostly stay at our place: cooking, playing games, watching Seinfeld, etc. But it was just so great to actually dress up and go out! :) Pretty crazy how your perception of dates change once you get married! Today we received the cd with all of our wedding pictures-so exciting! I cannot wait to print of my favorites and display them in the apartment! Time to get decorating!

Work continue to goes well for Chris and I and I've sold a few products through Avon! I'm praying that it really starts to take off-especially with the holiday season just around the corner! Which reminds me: exactly 3 months until Christmas, from today! And only 11 weeks until my birthday! I absolutely love this time of year, it is so exciting!! :) I definitely have not started any Christmas shopping but I'm going to have to think creatively this year with a small budget! 

Enjoy the cooler days, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, crunchy leaves and the orange glow of this season!

Happy Fall!
