Of course, it could also be the fact that Halloween is coming up (NOT my favorite holiday!).<BR/><BR/>However, your good attitude and looking forward have helped me. Tonight, my husband will be home with no obligations and I can look forward to having him all to myself once the little ones are in bed.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027526519270538794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-57970161367462577962008-09-02T08:46:00.000-07:002008-09-02T08:46:00.000-07:00I'm almost the opposite when it comes to fall. I ...I'm almost the opposite when it comes to fall. I feel almost giddy around 3:00 in the afternoon, when the sun feels warm, but not summer warm,and I remember walking home from school in it. Or when I see kids with backpacks and think fondly of not-bent-yet folders, freshly paper-bagged covered books that aren't yet marked all over with doodles after hours of boring lectures. I love fall.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you have so much coming up to re-focus on. It's a lot! Enjoy it all:)Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107964636020955468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-89746400729848375722008-09-02T00:30:00.000-07:002008-09-02T00:30:00.000-07:00I love the fall colors and get nostalgic for wheat...I love the fall colors and get nostalgic for wheat harvest and the way the fields look. Luckily we have a wheat field here next to our house and they had the combine out Saturday! I also love school shopping and have fond memories of going with my mom and buying sweaters and new stuff for school. I do miss going to BYU football games (and USAFA football games). It means Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11247080850550914860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-42272546417684433722008-09-01T22:13:00.000-07:002008-09-01T22:13:00.000-07:00I loved the letter from your sister.

Wow.<BR/><BR/>West Point sounds like a great place to get to experience.<BR/><BR/>Your trips sound like such fun! Is there any chance we'll get to meet you when you come to Utah?<BR/><BR/>Finally, when did you switch to this blogger format?! Now I can comment easily, you will be seeing a lot more of me...

I get nostalgic sometimes, but then remind myself that I'm only remembering the best parts and that I was nostalgic for other things back then as well. It's all bittersweet!<BR/><BR/>Would you like to come to Creative Friday while you're in Utah?Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09032420498045893374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-40045271989211387122008-08-30T20:20:00.000-07:002008-08-30T20:20:00.000-07:00There are a couple times a year when I get sad- au...There are a couple times a year when I get sad- autumn turning into winter is one of them.

I always welcome this time of year, but I get nostalgic, too.<BR/><BR/>Both of my kids were born in the early fall, and with Erin, I was able to take six glorious months off from work and just enjoy her and the time of year. <BR/><BR/>Every year since then (9 now!), I have longed to be home for the start of school, the change in weather, baking cookies, decorating for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, etc. It kills me to have to work this time every year! But, I guess, at least I have those wonderful memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-70809527857442763482008-08-30T01:35:00.000-07:002008-08-30T01:35:00.000-07:00I won't bore you with my long list of nostalgic th...I won't bore you with my long list of nostalgic things.

He was by far my favorite quarterback to watch. You just knew that he was really thinking about what he was doing. Too much fun.<BR/><BR/>I'm jealous of all of your trips. I'm hoping to hit Utah at some point to visit Tyson. I miss him terribly! <BR/><BR/>Hope you're enjoying your new classes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
