Craving



I'm longing for pumpkin smells and leaves on the ground. I can't wait to wear boots and scarfs and over sized sweaters. I love the coziness of fall and winter and the stillness that happens except for us it won't. Wedding.baby.holidays. remember? 

I can't begin to tell you how over summer I am. I realize more and more every year that goes by that summer is no longer my favorite of seasons. I live in the oddest part of Washington state. This three city dessert is filled with round abouts, strip malls, and tumbleweeds. It's not green and lush  like the majority of Washington and our summers are flipping hot. This week it won't get below 97, and like I said I just can't wait till fall.

As over it as I am, I'm still going to make the most of it, try and cross more off our family bucket list and have a bad ass summer. My girls deserve these memories and I'm happy to oblige. I know the remaining weeks of summer are going to speed by and I'm totally counting it "fall" the week after our wedding. I told Cameron to be prepared for pumpkin spice candles and yummy fall goodies, because it will be happening. 

What are you craving?

  5. I totally get what you mean. Although I do love Summer, it does get pretty hot and we don't have a/c, so oh. my. gosh -- it can be unbearable. But I'm in a suburb of Seattle so we do at least have the lush green landscape to sorta make up for it. But yes, fall is awesome. Definitely one of my favorite seasons!

  6. I love Washington seasons! Luckily the part of Washington I am in doesn't get nearly that hot. We will get in the upper 80's, but rarely any hotter than that. I, too, am ready for sweaters, scarves, and boots!

  11. I am with you! I was just thinking the other day, I must be a miserable person to hate summer. Who doesn't love sunshine and warm weather, right? Ummm...this girl. I would take a cool fall day with a pumpkin latte in hand over tanktops and flipflops any day! LOL
