Wow... where has the year gone? I swear just yesterday it was Spring! I love Fall. I love pretty much everything about it. I love that the days are shorter. I love that most people hunker in more and spend more time with their family. I love the traditions that happen in the fall. Don't tell my husband, but I even love the sound of football on the TV (only because it is a big part of fall in our house and makes me think of Thanksgiving)... I love Thanksgiving, and I love Black Friday shopping. I love thinking about the ones I love and figuring what to get them for Christmas. I love the change in seasons in the church, when we switch into Advent and wait on our Lord. I love All Saint's Day, November 1st. I love celebrating those we've loved and lost. Maybe I really love November because it's my birthday? I love that we have a family picnic every year in November and invite all of our family and friends out to spend a day with us. (We're on the 6th annual one now!) I love the cooler days, but that's not to say that I don't like the hot weather, because I do... :) I do love that it is typically cooler here in Texas, but not freezing...
Mostly I love November for all that it contains! November is a busy month, full of many traditions, and every family is different. Our family is different from the one I grew up in, and the one my husband grew up in, and that's perfectly ok too. This year will be different than last year (we do have another child), and I look forward to that. I look forward to what will be the same too. I take comfort in our traditions as much as the kids do. And I can't wait to make more memories with them..... And my husband..... :)
