September is one of those...

I have a lot of favorites. I am one of those people that say that I "love" or "like" everything. On the other hand, I also say I don't like or can't stand a lot of things too... Apparently I am very complicated and I, unfortunately for a lot of people, share my opinions like I need to in order to breathe! With that said, I have no intentions to quit sharing my opinions (unless you ask me nicely not to)!


Let me start with some things I like that are on the top of my head. I like headbands, listening to music and singing any chance I can get, dancing with the music too despite the fact that I can't actually dance. I like cooking and baking, organization, re-watching the same TV shows over and over again, cracking jokes and sarcasm (tasteful sarcasm though). I like spending time with my husband, holding his hand, when he kisses me on the forehead and snuggling. I like calling the boys random names I make up (like Bruce-a-licious and Leaver Beaver) and seeing them grow into nice young men. I like to check the mail and getting phone calls and texts. I really like going to church and putting dresses on. I like the fall and the winter and the spring. I like snow and colorful leaves, flowers blooming and rain. I like to drink coffee just for fun, helping other people and being around friends.




Wow, I didn't realize that my short list would be that long! I could probably write for hours and hours about all of my random likes. I did forget the months of the year I like... January, February, March, May, June, September, November and December. And, it isn't like I don't like April, July, August or October, it is just that I have different reasons for loving the other months!


September.... Colorful leaves, the start of fall, sweatshirts, football, boots, cardigans, pumpkin smells, cinnamon, baking bread and more! Fall is just the cherry on top of the last part of the year and the last part is my favorite!

Get to know me!

I don't write in my blog everyday, but I would if I prioritized my time better! However, if you do read this I wanted to change it up and do a get to know me post that I pulled off of the internet somewhere! It is mostly for fun, but if you didn't know me too well maybe after this you will know me better! :)
