Pumpkin Picking

Yesterday Luke, Danny, and I went pumpkin picking. This was a start to our first family tradition and was so special for us. It was the first time we went on a family activity just the three of us. It made me all the more excited for when we can finally start our life as a family. I hope that I have a patience to wait and to trust God that sooner than later he will make it possible.

Fall Foliage

"The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved;

loved for ourselves--say rather,

loved in spite of ourselves"

Les Miserables

Fall is here and with it a new beginning.

Fall has always been my favorite season. Maybe its my birthday starting it off, maybe it is the cooler weather, maybe it is the warm colors, or maybe it is the warm embrace of friends when school begins that made me fall in love with fall. Regardless of the why it is always a season that renews me, my hopes and my spirits.

The change in season could not have happened at a better time. I was feeling really really down, it had gotten to the point that I thought I might have post pardon depression. But a few cool days and some extra layers of clothes and I started to feel better. Yes there are still things I wish were different and yes I still long to be married and have our own house and the ability to do things as we would do them but an air of appreciation has set in.
