Preparing for Fall.

It's no secret that Fall is, by far, my favorite season.

I love cardigans and sweatshirts.  I love the cool, crisp, sunny weather.  The beautiful changing colors of the trees, pumpkin flavored everything, and BOOTS!  How I could forget, I love boots season.

Saturday morning Tyler had to work, and instead of pouting and feeling sorry for myself I decided to try and spruce up my front door.  One of the many things that this house needs is a face lift on the outside, so being the happy little renter I am, I decided to channel my inner green thumb and go on a Mum hunt.

I stopped at a couple different places to look, but wasn't thrilled with any of the options.  The colors were a little dull, and they almost looked like they were on their last leg.

And that's when I saw it.  A little parking lot farmers market.  Big, gorgeous, full mums.  And the $20 price tag was too good to be true.

Otherwise our weekend was pretty quiet.  I had a photo shoot on Saturday night with Molly, a sweet blogging friend of mine that I've "known" for years, but finally met.  Her boys reminded me so much of my own, that instead of hiding out at a coffee shop after the photo shoot like originally planned, I couldn't wait to get home and hug them.  Thank you Molly for blessing me in ways you don't even know!

Sunday was a pretty low-key day... I started off with a 3 mile run in my fastest time yet!  We went out for lunch and actually enjoyed it, ran errands in peace, and my husband even treated me to a pedicure.  The sound of football in the background during the afternoon screams Sunday to me, and I love it.

But, back to reality...
time to clean the house
bake Pumpkin Brownies for small group tonight
bake chocolate chip cookies for my hubby who requested them
...and light a Fall candle.

Yes, I love this season indeed.
