It's Autumn Time

I forgot to tell you a few months ago, I was released from my calling in Nursery and asked instead to be the Primary Chorister (singing with the kids ages 3-12).  Um, hello?  Have you met me?  OF COURSE I WILL THE PRIMARY CHORISTER!!  Could this be any more perfect for me?  Kids + Singing + Fun activities = Every day of my life (ideally...).  Unfortunately, this lasted a quick second  because Chris and I moved out of the ward about 2 months later.  Sadness all around.

The calling may be gone, but those songs have been with me my whole life (thanks, mama), and will stay with me the rest of my life.  I love each of those songs.  With living right near Old Town in Fort Collins, and seeing the gorgeous trees, I have one song in particular stuck in my head a lot lately.

Cheesy, I know.  But if this is what you got to see every day, you would fully forgive me making you listen to that song.  (We both know you listened to it twice.)

I don't care for the cold times one tiny bit.  Not one bit.  I do, however, love the vibrant colors.  I love the days when the temperature is just warm enough to wear fall clothes without a jacket.  I love winter clothes.  I love that the holidays are just around the corner.  I love the decorations, the smells, the feeling.  I love autumn.

Another thing I love is making new friends.  Anyone who isn't behind me in the interest is a liar.

Last semester, Chris took a Marketing Class where he made a new friend.  A fellow Mormon.  Through discussion, he found out that Calvin was to be married soon.  Jackpot.

Yesterday, Chris went to his usual Saturday football game, but managed to drag me along this week.  I was there to watch, but my friend Brittney and I went to Target instead as our hubs ran around the Oval with a football.  

After the game, I finally met the infamous Calvin, and Chris had made plans to sit with Calvin and his new bride at the adult session of Stake Conference last night, where we made further plans to get together.  Chris hates dinner and board games to get to know people.  So Mormon.  I actually love it, but Chris just feels so awkward, so instead, we made plans to carve pumpkins.

This is too perfect for me.  We had a great night laughing, carving, and attempting to bake pumpkin seeds.  I can't get enough Fall activities, and it's always so much better with friends.  (And we didn't even have to use our safe word in case they were lame, so that's always good.)

This just makes me want to hop on Pintrest and go nuts!!  (Maybe this time next year when I have a home.)

It's Autumn time, it's Autumn time!
