Top 5 Reasons Why I Love This Time of Year

First off, I have to say that the ultimate reason I'm in love with Fall is because of the beautiful weather! Without the cool, crisp air that actually makes a Texan appreciate the feeling of warm sunshine... this season just wouldn't be the same. :)

Now that we've got that covered... *wink*

The colors...

I love earth tones. From the chocolate browns, to the dark greens, to the golden yellows and deep reds -- I love 'em all!

The books...

For some reason, this weather puts me in the mood to sit and read a good book outside... and our back porch is the perfect place to do it! ;)

The jackets...

I'm cold-natured and love a good excuse to wear cute jackets, sweaters, blazers, etc.

Denim, suade, courdoroy, fleece -- you name it, I'll probably be wearing it. :)

The coke floats?

Okay, our family doesn't typically get the chance to indulge in drinking a good coke float (or in my particular case, a Dr. Pepper float. ;) But when we were talking the other day and realized Eliza and Samantha had NEVER drank one before, we just *had* to splurge a little bit. :)

Hey, that was the first time we had gotten sodas in at least 4 months!

And let me tell you... it was reeaallly gooood.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Okay,

by now you're probably wondering about my "reason number five".

SoOo, here it is...

-------------------------------------------------------------------

This month (October 23, to be exact!) marks 10 years since the day I was baptized!

(It's really weird to think that I'm old enough to say that now. lol! 10 years ago???

I can remember the night like it was yesterday... :)

*Praise the Lord all the earth!*

Wanna Learn More About Me?

--------------------------------

Well, this post is going to be filled with plenty of fun facts (i.e., I'm getting pretty good at going at least a week without posting--sorry about that!), my favorite things, and even a glimpse at what my handwriting looks like! I hope you ENJOY . . . ♥

---------------------------------

First off, Abigail tagged me with this quick little questionnaire! Thanks Abby! ;)

Country or city? Country for sure. :)

What is your favorite color? P u r p l e

How many states have you been to? Five

What is your favorite Bible verse? James 4:8 "Come near to God and he will come near to you."

What is your favorite song? That's a tough question! There's just too many to choose from. :)

Would you rather be inside or outside your house? Hahahahahaha...... everyone that knows me knows my answer..... That would be: inside my house. Final answer. =)

Do you like pens or pencils? Pencils

What is your favorite memory? I have so many, but one that randomly comes to mind is playing with my sisters in our old backyard before any of us were teenagers. We lived in the city then, and had the PERFECT climbing tree and a wooden (log cabin) playhouse. We would oftentimes pretend the tree was a spaceship and we all had our special "spots" where we climbed up on to sit at our individual stations. We would also set up the playhouse to be a number of things such as a doctors office, McDonalds (lol), and even a mechanics auto shop with our own bays and an indoor "office" to boot! (Our Dad has always been an automotive mechanic and we loved visiting him at work and seeing what the environment was like at his job. :) Oh, and did I mention we used our bicycles as the "cars" that needed to be worked on?? That reminds me how every now and then we would even pretend the bikes were our horses. We would set up race tracks around the yard and even a few small ramps for our horses to "jump". ;)

Okay, that was one big memory. :D Now I'll pass this tag along to anyone who sees it and wants to give it a try!

Next, I've decided to do this "Handwriting" tag I saw going around for awhile. Here are the rules:

Write down the following, snap a picture (or scan the document), post it, and tag others.

#1 Name/Blog Name
#2 Right handed, left handed or both
#3 Favorite letters to write
#4 Least favorite letters to write

#5 Write: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

#6 Write in caps: CRAB HUMOR KALEIDOSCOPE PAJAMAS GAZILLION

#7 Favorite song lyrics

#8 Who you'd like to tag
#9 Any special note or drawing

And here is the finished product... *drum roll*

*Don't mind the drawing that's slightly showing through
this sheet of paper. That's just what happens when you
leave it lying on the desk without supervision BEFORE the
photo is taken. I guess it's also Sister #3's technique of
sneaking her way into a blog post! lol Tee Hee.... Well, it
worked! ;) (The funny part is that I didn't even notice it
until I was previewing this post. :D)

Well, that concludes this "fun" post. I really do hope you enjoyed reading. :) "Have a wonderful day!"
