I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness and to have the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed and to share the silence when they are not and to live within the warmth of your heart and always call it home.

Fall in Florida

Fall is by far, my favorite season of the year. I love the cool weather, that's just warm that the cold doesn't bite at your nose, hands, face but still cool enough that I don't sweat like a pig and can really enjoy the outdoors to it's fullest. Here in the panhandle of Florida, the weather really started tapering off this season around the beginning of October and now by the end of October the high is on average around 75 degrees and sunny. Perfect. We're taking full advantage by turning off the a/c (hello lower electric bill!), keeping the windows open always and airing out our house, running trails and even running in the afternoons, which was pretty dangerous a month ago when the temps were high 90's in the afternoons. Don't get me wrong, we're not sporting sweat pants just quite yet but it feels nice to take evening dog walks and need a jacket. The leaves don't quite change here though like they did back at home in Oklahoma and we do miss that.

Here's some pictures of our first fall fun in Florida!

Cooler wx = more outdoor time!

First time to decorate for fall!

Nothing like soccer on a brisk day
 We made a pretty cool decision recently...bought our first car together. We traded in our truck and got a Hyundai Tuscon! A little surprise my husband sprang on me after work one day. We had talked about it previously, just didn't know he landed the deal! The coolest thing about it is, per Dave Ramsey, we don't have any car payments! First time for us to EVER pay for a vehicle in full. Go Us.





The same week we landed the sweet deal with the car, I also promoted and pinned on 1st Lt! As my husband says now, "I got myself a suga momma for sure!"



We have struck up a new thought process within the last couple years of our marriage. Celebrate the little things. Insert joy and wonderful memories anywhere you can in life. So, we're celebrating our first fall in Florida together, enjoying the new vehicle, promotion and life in general. Cheers!!
