Happy Autumn!

Good morning! Can you believe that it is already the first day of Fall? I took a hint from Kate and Sarah Rhodes, and picked up a pumpkin spice latte yesterday, and it was amazing! They are right when they say that it is an Autumn right of passage.

One of my favorite quotes that I do enjoy telling people is "Autumn is a second Spring when every leaf is a flower." Today is a very rainy day, so you can't really get out to enjoy it, but maybe by the end of the week the weather will be better.

This time of the year reminds me of all the trips to Gatlinburg to see the changing leaves with my family. That is always a really warm spot in my heart - the drive was half the fun. Now that I am getting married and will have my own family one day, it makes me think of all the fun trips and experiences we will hopefully take one day.

When I was in college, I was walking on the quad between classes when I ran into a sorority sister, and she said something I won't forget. I feel like it was a change of seasons from the winter to the spring when we were talking that day, and she said "Isn't it great that God knows just when we need a break from this cold weather?" That is so true. He always knows just when we need a change, and its always so beautiful.
