Twinkle Lights

Not very long after we moved into our current apartment (almost 2 years ago), Daniel surprised me with a chandelier above our dining room table. It's a nice little chandelier, and it provides a soft ambiance that makes our little place feel festive and cozy all in one. I love turning it on in the evenings as we're relaxing and enjoying our time together. Tonight, I finally thought to snap a picture of it. I love the way it glows and makes the room feel warm. The twinkle lights remind me that carving pumpkins is just around the corner, and then onto Thanksgiving, and how it's kind of almost time to start listening to Christmas Music.

Kind of a lame picture, but in person, it's magical and perfect for fall.

Things I like about Fall

I'm much more of a spring/summer person. I love the flowers in the trees, the warmth in the air, the days getting longer and longer...but, I've been reasonably open minded about this fall season, and so far it has not let me down.

So far I'm enjoying:

1. Pumpkin Pie
2. Crispy Crunchy Apples
3. Sweaters
4. Slippers
5. New Episodes of House
6. Going on walks and stepping on leaves
7. A trip to Seattle with my mom
8. Fall Decor (I'd really like to make a fall wreathe for my door...need to figure out how)
9. Planning Halloween Costumes
10. Cats in their Halloween costumes
11. Sugar cookies (it's almost time to break out my Halloween cookie cutters!)
12. Snuggling with blankets
13. Planning for Daniel's upcoming birthday
14. Anticipating the holidays that are just around the corner!

October 1.

Have you ever had a perfect day?

Did it look anything like this?

Wicked was a fabulous way to welcome October. I had a great day in Seattle with my mom, and now I'm ready for bed. I know it's not even 8:00 yet, but I'm beat. I only got a couple hours of sleep last night because of all the anticipation and now even though I'm fighting off a cold, I couldn't have had a better day!
