VACATION ahhhhh....

That's right!! We went on a much needed vacation!! My husband, the work aholic was finally able to relax!! Unfortunatly, I never had the courage to take away his computer and cell phone. . .but he did sleep!! That is a win in my book!! :)
It was the ultimate vacation.
Relaxing. . .check!
He and I alone. . .check!
Eating to our hearts content. . . check!
Having a much needed vacation with the man I love. . .CHECK CHECK CHECK!!

The following list is exactly why we BOTH needed a vacation!!
All of this happend in the span of two months!!! UUGGGGHHHH

*I think this can go without mention. . .but this definitly is the top of the list.
*We haven't had a vacation in forever. . .well for us four months is forever. . :) We really really really needed some time away together!
*Ryan was victim to yet another car accident in under a year!! His poor back will never be the same.
*That same week Ryan had to deal with an angry Broker and he accidentally damaged (nearly broke) his foot with moving equipment and had to wear a bootie.
*He sliced his wrist (on accident. . .I hope!!) while cutting rope and had to get six stitches and three worried people hovering over him in the ER (thank you to Terry and Vicky for being there for the both of us!! Mostly Ryan though!) (P.S. I got to be Nurse Heather and take the stitches out myself with the help of youtube!! Hollar!!)
*That nice house we put an offer on fell through. . . arrgghhhh!!
*My hormones are(were) on a rampage. . .we both needed a break from that!! :)
*Sweet Brother in-law having issues that were stressful on the whole family!
*Father in-law having scary health issues!!
*We were away from each other for a whole THREE weeks!! I came back and it felt like we had to be reintroduced!!

I think it goes without saying. . .we need some really good news soon!! :)

Needless to say this has been the worst summer that I can remember. I am so glad it's over!!

Well, it's not really over yet. . .there is still some time to make it better!! Not to mention it could have been a whole lot worse!!

We have definitly learned a lot from the last few months. . .in a few years we may look back on this summer and laugh. . .you know those laughs that you want to cry because it is so horrible yet so funny at the same time???!!!

Oh summer. . .

What I love most about all the different seasons, is you feel like a new season you can start fresh!! I am really looking forward to fall!!

This list is exactly why I love FALL!!

*the weather starts to cool down. . .a little!
*the leaves change color
*The smells of people lighting fires in thier fireplaces (or if you have a fireplace. . .being able to sit in front of it!)
*Kids are going back to school
*SCHOOL SUPPLIES!! I love going to the stores and seeing aisles of school supplies with stressed out parents and children in tow!! Brings back memories!
*THE CLOTHES!! Lets face it. .. for most us mormon girls out there fall (and winter)is(are) really the only time we can be trendy and modest!! I usually go nuts with buying clothes this time of year. . .I need to stay away from the malls the next few months!! :)
*Extra blankets at night! I love to sleep with tons and tons of blankets!! (I totally see why Sam loves it so much!! Auntie Heather loves her little Sam!!)
*Apples and Pumpkins!!
*The days get shorter. . .you see the stars a lot sooner at night!!
*The absolute best: It's the countdown to winter (another fresh start season) and all the fun holidays!!

What are some of your favorite things about Fall!!??
