A change is coming...

There is a change in the air this morning. I went out to feed our dogs and you can just feel it. I know it is still the middle of August and we have a little more of summer to get through. But, you can tell that Fall is not far behind.

For me Fall is a time for new things. Renewal. I don't feel that way in Spring. In Spring I'm ready to just get on with Summer. In Fall, I get a taste of things to come. I love getting our winter clothes washed up and ready to go, buying outerwear for my son and making our home cozy.

Great things always happen to me in the Fall. I fell in love with my husband carving pumpkins on the deck of his apartment. Our wedding was in October of the next year. Our son was born in October of the following year. Fall is good.

This year it will be wonderful! I'm looking forward to cozying up our home for the cold months. My husband and I talked it over and decided to redecorate. Invest in organizing and getting our place nice. We rented this place for the yard and the trees. The house leaves a little to be desired. However, it has good bones. We decided with a little creativity and elbow grease we can dig in and make it nice here. We want to be here a few years while we save money and pay off bills. But, we thought we'd take just a little bit of money and make this place nice.

We can paint so we'll be painting a few rooms. Moving things around. Buying lots of containers and taking major trips to Goodwill and probably the dump. My parents are visiting next weekend so I can't really start anything. Boo hoo!!! But, I'm glad they are visiting so I won't complain.

I think we'll feel so much better and a lot less temporary once things are put away and looking pretty. YAY!!!!
