I absolutley love Fall. It is getting cooler outside, the leaves are falling so the ground is pretty, and my house always smells so great due to candles. Apparently, I burn more candles in the fall then any other time of the year according to Greg. I try to also keep my house clean because I have company over more for some reason. The decorations are also beautiful! I finally decorated my house last week with the help from my sister.
The past two weeks I have been organizing my house and cleaning things out. I managed to have a garage sale with my family. It was a success and I got loads out of my way. Now to keep it that way will be a challenge thanks to my husband. We shall see!
Tons of exciting things come up. I have a two day crop in Oct with some great women, Fall Fest at church where we will be hosting a haunted house called a "Glimpse of Hell", and then another scrapbook retreat at Mt. Eagle in Nov. I love FALL!!!

Busy Busy Busy
I think busy is the theme for this blog. It seems I am constantly stating how busy we are all the time. Well, of course things have not changed for us. Now we have added school to everything else in our lives. This year, Greg and I are both in school. (strange) We have never been in school at the same time since high school. I skipped out on college when I first graduated because I wanted to work instead. Greg chose school and also worked part time. Now that I work at ATU, I get to go to school for free so apparently I would be stupid if I didn't go. Greg gets to go part time which is awesome for us. This is a great way for him to finish his degree now. He has just one more semester from having his degree and I could not be prouded of him.
Now to the fun part of the blog. My house is clean, cabinets stocked with food and the weekend has been great. Yesterday, my sister and I took Kegean to Conway yesterday to see the Smurf movie. It was such a cute movie and he loved it. To hear his little laugh made it all worth it. I would look over at him during the movie and he had the biggest grin at his face. I loved it!! Then of course he became the average 4 year old without a nap. Once we got home, he was able to play with Uncle Greg in the yard so he was back to his fun self again. Those are the times that we all enjoy. I was so glad I got to spend some time with my sister too. It seems our lives stay so busy that we forget what is important sometimes. It is always good for God to hold us back to relax so we can catch up with ourselves and enjoy life again.
So my birthday was Wednesday. I swear-I celebrated all week long. It was awesome!! I first started out on the Sunday before when my in laws gave me my bday present. They always give us money so we can go buy what we would like. I am thinking this year, I will spend my money on new fall decorations. I love fall and cannot wait to decorate. Then of course Wed was a busy day. My mom and sister took me to lunch followed by the girls at work getting me snickers cupcakes from the Cake Place (awesome place) and a gift card to get new jewlery that I have been eyeing. My wonderful husband got me a lap desk for all my homework that I do on the couch and a massage. I love massages!! Then that night, my mom and poppy got me a massage as well. I was in HEAVEN!! Two massages are coming my way and I cannot wait. Friday was another fun day! Amber took me to lunch and her and Kristi got me a gift card to Cracker Barrel to buy some home decor. That place has the coolest and the most unique decor I have seen. Amber knows how much I love to shop there for gifts so now I get to buy myself something. Friday night I went to my dad's house where him and Nancy got me a huge wall art for my walls at home. After dads I met Tonya for dinner which was of course fun.
Well I should be studying and writing a paper instead of writing on my blog but I noticed it has been a while so I wanted to catch everyone up. Hope everyone has a great day off tomorrow and enjoy the wonderful weather. Greg has to work so I plan to start getting garage sale stuff together for Saturday.
