10 Reasons Why I Love Fall

Fall is my favorite time of the year. Even though I do live in Florida and cold weather does not appear until January, it does become cooler. These are 10 reasons why I love this season (in no particular order).

1. I love the colors of Fall.  In fact my house is decorated mostly in fall colors.

2. Fall Festivals

Ok I want to cry when I look at this picture, because my “little” boy is no longer little and he is now a big middle schooler.

3. Cooler weather.

My favorite pastime is to curl up with a book and a cup of something hot.

6. My Anniversary

This year we celebrated 16 years. Lord knows I could not raise these boys myself and the Lord blessed me with a wonderful husband and a great father to my kids.

7.  Banana Bread
Sure sometimes we have this during other seasons, but we have it more so during the Fall season.

8. Cute, Sassy Boots. Love wearing boots.

These are not my boots, but I have some similar (heel not as high). I love wearing boots during the Fall.

9. Presents for my birthday.

Just wish the presents did not come with adding another year to my life, especially since I only have one more year in my 30′s. But we won’t talk about that, k? This is what my sweet hubby is going to get me.  He forgot the account was in my name, so I received the confirmation email after he ordered it.  But I don’t care I love early birthday presents (my bday is not until the 19th). I am giddy with a capitol “G.”  Any suggestions for Apps?

10. My Favorite Holiday of the Year: THANKSGIVING

It has not been an easy year, but I have so much to be thankful for.

Happy 4th of July

I am officially on vaction so I leave with you some wonderful words and be sure to watch the video it gave me chills. Have a great holiday, I will be back in about 2 weeks.

We gather ‘round to celebrate
On Independence Day
Pay homage to our country
As the children run and play.

With barbecues and picnics
And fireworks in the air
The flag we own is proudly flown
To show how much we care.

The stars and stripes spell freedom
She waves upon the breeze
While bursts of colors can be seen
Above the towering trees.

This is all quite wonderful
We revel in delight
But God above in divine love
Has brought this day to light.

With just a stroke of liberty
A touch of His great hand
He gave democracy to us
And helped this country stand.

The stripes upon our stately flag
Were touched by His sweet grace
Each star of white that shines so bright
Reflects His loving face.

So as you turn to face the flag
For battles that were fought
Be filled with pride for those who died
And freedoms that were bought.

But don’t forget to thank the One
That gives the bright display
The reason why we paint the sky
On Independence Day
