What season you might ask? (And if you did just ask that, you fell right into my little trap!) :-D
For starters I'm starting to get the Fall bug. A couple of weeks ago I took Friday off and I spent some time at Hobby Lobby. As soon as I walked in the door I was greeted with fall colors and pumpkins and scary black cats. EXCITING. I love this time of year and all the fun decorating opportunities it affords. A little further into the store I found Christmas trees, but I'm not ready to go there quite yet.
Secondly, it is Marathon season. For the past three weeks Michael has been up at 5:30am to run 1, and now 2 miles through the neighborhood. These are just the warm up weeks for what will prove to be another grueling Fall and Winter of long miles traveled on foot. Michael plans to "Run the Rock" half in December and then potentially run the Little Rock full in March. Though tough I know that Michael looks forward to this time of year where he can cross another race off his list. For now it seems I will not be running anything on so grand a scale but depending on the knee I may look into a 10k.
Next, it is FOOTBALL season and what do you know? The Aggies won their first game. This past weekend we headed to College Station and enjoyed getting to spend time with all 3 of the brothers (J., David and Marcus), Ninny and Opa as well as my Uncle Mike and cousin Jacob in from Oregon. We missed Charlie and Cathy this round but I'm sure I'll get my chance to eat hamburgers and cheese sticks with them next game. Pics of Jonathan & Ashley, David & Sara and Michael & I all at the game below.
Last but not least, Michael is very excited that "soup season" is on it's way. Little did you know that Fall brought so much to look forward to! ha I learned last year that Michael has a serious love for soup - so much so that he joined an interest group for "soup" on Facebook. He's probably half excited about "soup season" though because it comes with corn bread and he sure does love corn bread....
Anyway, here's to a happy Fall with beautiful oranges and red decor, pumpkins, marathons (or 10ks), winning football teams, and yummy soup.
Love, Natasha
