Things I Love About Fall

School starts back up in exactly two weeks and I am ridiculously excited!!!  After having to miss the last two (three if you count summer) semesters I am so ready to be back in the lecture halls filling my mind with awesome knowledge.

 BSU approved my appeals and with my financial aid reinstated I am all set to take campus by storm. I am determined to be in amazing health and get a 4.0 this semester. Ambitious yes, but after the last 10 months and all the challenges it brought I am full of energy and determination!

Craig got a job at the Y coaching, and will also be keeping his job at the shipping store, I'm looking for something part time, and Keegan is going to be starting a part time toddler program at the same YMCA Craig will be working at.

All in all, I am seriously excited for the coming months and the great things that will be happening. In honor of that excitement here is my top ten list of things I love about fall!


1.) Back to school shopping. I love buying new folders, notebooks, pens, post its, etc. I always have! Even when I was a kid. And of course- new clothes!

2.) Leaves changing color. It makes for great photo ops and I love the crunchy sound the leaves make when I walk over them. Also, campus looks gorgeous with all of the colors everywhere.



3.) Football season! Gotta love my Boise State Broncos!



4.)  Hazelnut steamers from Starbucks or Dawson's

5. Flannel pajamas, a good book, and the fireplace on.

6.) Running the St. Luke's Women's Celebration 5k. 


7.) The return of must-see TV! I'm already super pumped for new episodes of The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Bones, How I Met Your Mother, Glee, and Zooey Deschanel's new show New Girl.


8.) FOOD!!!! Halloween and Thanksgiving....need I say more! Candy, pie, turkey, green bean casserole...my mouth is already watering!

9.) Pumpkins! Pumpkin pie, going to the pumpkin patch, pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin bread, carving pumpkins, using pumpkins as decor, pumpkin scented candles, you get the picture yes? :)

10.) It's almost Christmas!
