Welcome Fall 2015

I used to think my favorite season was summer and I have been trying really hard to hold on to it this year but now it is the 1st of September and I CAN NOT WAIT FOR FALL!!!

Our wax melts and fall candles are out of storage and the house smells nothing short of amazing. I see hints of yellow and orange in our leaves outside and the beauty of this upcoming season never ceases to amaze me.

Even if my days outside catching the rays of sun in a bathing suit are over I am reminded how much I adore fall and think it has won over summer for 'Favorite Season' - bring it on Mother Nature {just keep the S word away}!!

A few Fall Highlights I can't wait for include…
:: The Colors
:: NYC vacation with my sister {get to "meet" Casey}
:: 3 year anniversary
:: Sweatshirt & Shorts weather
:: Camping trip
:: Boots - Leggings - Blanket Scarfs {oh my}
:: Football

What are you most looking forward to this fall?

Currently // October

Yesterday I attended an amazing class for my job on writing. It really inspired me to go home last night and write tons of blog posts but, who am I kidding; I got home, made supper and snuggled up to watch The Voice with Steve because that just sounded more fun!! I did write in my prayer journal though, so not all my creative writing juices were lost.

Since I didn't write a post last night I'm bringing you {at 2 in the afternoon} Currently - The October Edition. Enjoy and throw up some leaves because Fall is officially here!!

Celebrating // Finishing some editing ... seriously it is like a mini party every time I get done with a 300+ photo session!! Downside is I still have 7 more sessions to edit and the appointments aren't stopping.

Baking // I have Zero baking skills {or patience for it} so this is one thing that doesn't happen in our house. But, I do have some frozen peaches and might try my hand at a cobbler - recipes welcome!!

Loving // My new headbands from Wonderfully Stitched - Adorable Boot Cuffs from Trista's Creations - Warm Fall Headbands from Erika Joy Design - Brea Babe who will be 6mo on the 6th - and as always my Farmer ... Oh and Fall I LOVE Fall!

Planning // To sing my little heart out at the Garth Brooks concert in November. He is coming to Minneapolis and tickets go on sale this week #CantContainMyExcitement

Smelling // Bath & Body Works candles - they are my weakness and with every season change I seem to buy more and then when Fall/Winter comes around I just go overboard. Right now my kitchen is filled with the smell of Thanksgiving Morning and our living room smells like Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin - Fall smells are THE BEST!!

Also I'd like to congratulate the winners of the Giveaway. I was so happy when their names came up because they are two of my favorites in the new mom and blog friend category!! Erin won the copy of Blog, Inc. and Kathryn won shop credit to Erika Joy Design. Congrats Mammas!!

Now, Let me know - What have you been up to Currently?

Wednesday Night Cattle Drive

Before I knew there was this huge blogging world I would write the most random posts, just posts about day to day life and nothing special - seriously people, I'm talking really random. Guess What?! I miss those posts. The ones that required little thought but I look back at them now and am thankful I wrote about those little random moments and memories. 

So I'm bringing them back, throwing some 'blogging rules' aside and just writing!

…

Last night we went to chase in some naughty calves that had escaped under the fence, which was fine with me because it turned out to be a beautiful night for a drive.

The pairs (cows and calves) have been out to pasture all summer and it is almost time to bring them home to the feedlot - when they come home they will be weaned (mothers and babies separated) and all I will hear is mooing and bellering for weeks, can't wait to see Brea's reaction to a full feedlot and all the noise!! Brea did really well last night, though, hardly barking at the cattle and did only when they got close to her window to sniff her out!

The fall colors last night were out in full force even though we have been having summer-like temps in the high 70s and I don't mind at all because 50 just seems too cold right now! Plus this warm weather will be perfect if it stays the weekend because I've been invited to a blogger weekend in Grand Forks, complete with a wine event - I am super excited and can't wait to meet up with some other North Dakota bloggers! Follow this hashtag on IG and Twitter to see what we are up to #grandforksgetaway

Has Fall hit your area yet? What are you excited for this weekend?

Oh Hey Friday

Is a link-up on Friday cliche?! Well I guess I don't care I'm doing it, so I hope you enjoy my Friday 5!!

1 // I CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW - It is the Bison home opener and ESPN COLLEGE GAMEDAY is coming back so if you are downtown Fargo tomorrow or watch GameDay I'll be in Yellow, look for me!!

{side note on football I won my first fantasy matchup so I hope my boys keep it up this week}

 2 // I have already mentioned I'm excited for fall but the below 50 degree weather can stay away for another two months ... or more

3 // I am in the process of getting a new blog design and I'M SO EXCITED

4 // I hung out with my best friend on Wednesday and it was so great to catch up with her over supper and wine - now I just wish we could make it happen more often

5 // These two just make my heart so so happy - oh also Brea is 5 months old now, she is 50 pounds and growing every day!! Where did my puppy go?!

Do you have any exciting weekend plans?

Currently // September

 



// Writing // I have been trying to read one chapter a night from the Bible and taking notes is always a big help for me to comprehend what I'm reading.

// Anticipating // This month and Fall in general. I know I'm probably giving the same answer as everyone else but I love this season. Steven and I will celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary and the colors will start changing and the men are busy with harvest - it is just a wonderful time of year!!

// Missing // My Tan. With fall comes the fading of the sun rays on my skin, hoping I can sneak just a few more in before colder weather is here to stay!

// Wearing // Most days I'm wearing my Kroner necklace. Kroner is the currency used in Norway and a few of their coins have holes in the center, thus making it super easy to wear as a necklace. Such a great keepsake and reminder of our trip!!

// Craving // Tomatoes : Mozzarella : Balsamic << I really think that combination just speaks for itself!!
