I am happy

This morning I opened my windows, and my house cooled down to 74....74!!!!

When I walk outside in the morning, I feel fall.

When I walk outside in the evening, I feel fall again! Fall, I am so happy you are here!

I have been waiting EVER so long for you to arrive.

Does is surprise you that I put fall decor, and fall candles around my house almost 3 weeks ago?




I couldn't wait a moment longer. I figured that if fall knew how much I loved it. If it knew how much I wanted it to come, it would come faster? Pretty sure it didn't work. None the less, IT IS HERE!!!!

Fall is one of the most convenient seasons:
*Running around town in your car is no longer a death trap. Your car doesn't heat up to 200 degrees every time you turn in off, and you don't break out into a uncontrollable sweat every time you load and unload your baby. It is amazing.
*You can go running at 10:00am in the morning and not get heat stroke. Terrific!
* You can go on a walk at night to waste your toddlers energy, and not have to sit in front of a fan for 2 hours to cool off.
*You can turn your air of in the morning and night.
* You get to start wearing a whole different wardrobe. It is like buying TONS of new cute clothes! When really you are just pulling out all your old winter clothes from last year!
Seriously fall is great. Better than winter, and spring for sure...AND DEFINITELY summer!

I just got my decorations out this morning. But I have more decorations than places to put them. I am in serious need of a tv stand (similar to yours - love it!), a coffee table and a buffet.

As for the clothes, I'm not ready to pull out the winter stuff just yet. But it is nice to be comfortable in jeans. :)

You poor Arizona people. We are having the same fun transition into Fall but when I woke up this morning the temperature inside the house was 61 and that was with all air off during the night and all windows closed so I am sure it got into the 50's. It feels amazing right now.

yay for Fall!

I agree. I LOVE fall. You have just motivated me to get out my decorations, I just haven't been able to get motivated to climb into attic to get the boxes down!

Kristina said...

cute decorations! I love fall. Moslty because here in Arizona it's cooler weather, but in UT & CO I love it because it gets cold, the leaves change, & it really feels like the HOlidays but I'll take this weather here with no complaints!

PS so we had a garage sale today & I kept thinking of you & wishing I had your phone number so I could call you & tell you to get your booty over here! I sold a ton of clothes & shoes. My cousin also sold some stuff & she had a roll of 20 yrds of this cute fabric I think you would have liked.

Don't worry we had fall decorations up the end of August until like two days ago and now it's Halloween decorations...my mom rushes seasons!

Jacquee said...

Of course I remember you Jami! How have you been? And Amen to your love of fall. I just wish we still lived where the leaves change colors. sigh...

I totally agree with you on all of the reasons to love fall! I especially love it because of the car heat being gone and those evening walks you talked about to release some of the little ones' energy:) Brig is like a little dog in that he needs a morning and nightly walk/run. If he doesn't get that he is a grump. Thankgoodness we are in the 80's!!!
