**Officially Fall**

I can't believe we have already been out here for four months! I mean, I guess that isn't really that long, but it seems like just yesterday we were unloading our moving van in the suffocating July heat.

It's November now, and overnight we have gone from kinda fall to really fall. This morning when I walked to the mailbox to drop off Netflix, it was in the 40s.

I snapped a few shots of what our neighborhood looks like right now. I can't believe how many leaves are still on the trees. It is so much different than I remember Utah being this time of year.

(our trees still have a few leaves to lose)

I am really excited for this month. Johnny and I actually have plans, which is a big deal for us. We have a couple concerts to look forward to and we are hoping to take a weekend trip to DC. We also got tickets to the BYU basketball game in Glens Falls, NY, Jimmer Fredette's hometown. Haha, for us that is exciting.

And then there is Thanksgiving. We are spending Thanksgiving out here this year. I've never been in charge of my own Thanksgiving, and this is a big deal to me. We are hoping to celebrate with a few friends, so the cooking responsibilities will be split among us. I am sure I will write more about this topic in the coming weeks :)

p.s. Even though this is super cheesy and cliche, I want to try to post what I am thankful for on my blog posts this month, so here goes.


Giving Thanks: Today I am thankful for the sunlight. Sunny days just make me happy. It's much harder to be sad on a sunny day. The sun is streaming in through the windows right now into my bedroom and little Persie is laying in it. It also reminds me that I need to dust!
