Fall Y'all

Happy Fall!! Its that time of the year again....pumpkins, mums, hoodies, windows open, soups, apples, baked goodies, festivals, fairs and most of all a trip to the mountains (we have not done in the past few years, but if we could swing it I could go every year during this season). Each year I realize how much I love this season. I am sad to say good bye to summer because I love the warm weather, beach and boat but you can still enjoy these things during the Fall as well. I thought I would update on a few things we have had going on lately. If you know us, you know we are always on the go. I was just talking to a friend this morning and telling her that I only have two free weekends between now and Christmas. How crazy is that?? I need to make a new years resolution to not book myself like crazy on the weekends next year.

So lately I've been obsessed with pumpkin spice lattes (PSLs as me and SLAW like to call them :)) and we do not have cable right now (which I'm really enjoying actually, don't tell Aaron but I might not ever reconnect it ha!) so I have been getting into some shows on netflix on nights when I don't have much going on. My current fav is Pretty Little Liars - here is your time to judge ....okay judging over...don't judge! I love this show for real, I love how A is such a mystery and I love trying to figure out who A is. If you watch it don't spoil it for me and if you don't well you will just have to read up or watch for yourself all about A. It is total high school girlie girl drama, which is so not me, but I love it. I love how the girls are always dressed up, nails and hair done. That is so not me either, but let's face it ladies we love having those rare times where we dress up for special occasions and getting ready is still fun. So anyways I'm a serious PLL fan these days and am still in the first season so don't tell me anything that happens!

I am also loving this cooler weather, yesterday was the first time in over a week I have not had the air off and the windows open. It has been so wonderful outside and I plan to open the windows back up when I get home tonight.

I also have plans to make a huge pot of soup tonight for dinner, something I love to do when the weather turns cooler. I love having a bunch left over to take to work and for Aaron to have for lunch as well. We do it up right with a grilled cheese to go with it ;) I think I'm going to make this apple turnover recipe for dessert from Shopgirl's blog that I pinned from pinterest a few months back. It is so yummy and so easy to make, this time I am cheating and using apple pie filling instead of apples ...shhh!
Lastly my current thing is Aaron and I are going to start running together. I got him running shoes a couple weeks ago so we are ready! This is new to me because I can never get him to exercise with me and he wants to start being more active so we have made our own little boot camp and are going to start ASAP. I hope we keep up with it, I have a goal to run the Gobble 5k!

Okay Picture Time!! Here is some fun times of the past month since I have posted last!

So our church, Source, has had fun and games this month. You've Been Sourced is a game where you stick the sign shown above in a member's yard....usually during the night so they do not know....try to guess who it was and then go "Source" someone else. We came home one Sunday night and had this in our front yard, we were stoked! Of course living in the boonies, we figured out it was SLAW and she was in cahoots with her and Aaron's mom to do her dirty work ;)

Of course we had to include the pups in a pic!

So we Sourced the neighbors down the road from us at their new house that they haven't moved into yet. They have a crew of dogs so we knew if we did it here we wouldn't get caught. My mom gave me a huge pack of neon straws that same day....so I thought why not add some character to the fun and put straws all in the yard. They look so cool in the dark, thanks Mom! Prices...you have been Sourced!

State Fair fun!!! My most favorite thing at the state fair is the small petting zoo. I love love love animals, I should have been in the zoology field...maybe in my next life ;) They were so fun and I love seeing their little personalities. I was feeding a camel and the goat below him was trying to eat my pants, so funny.

Aaron's new BFF, he was following us around.

Hi There!

A piggie with her babies from the livestock part of the fair. I wanted to take one home SO BAD.

We saw Matthew West and Santus Real in concert at the state fair! So awesome. I had more pics and some of Matthew West but they are taking too long to load from my phone. I love how they get stories from real people and their testimonies and turn them into songs! I highly recommend Santus Real's song The Promises- its the lead singer's story about how him and his wife found out their child was going to be born with half a heart and how people in their lives lifted them up and told them to hold on to God's promises. So awesome. Also recommend Matthew West's song Forgivness, currently my favorite. This is about a mom whose daughther was killed by a drunk driver. A couple years later the mom started visiting the guy in jail, forgave him, he was saved and she is even getting his sentenced shortened so they can tour the country together and tell their testimony to others and spread the gospel. This mom did the impossible and the guy is getting out next month.

So there is some of our Fall Fun, hope y'all are enjoying this beautiful season as well! Happy Tuesday!
