Happy 1st Day of Fall!!

It is finally fall ~ wohoo!!! I absolutely love fall. Sunny days with cold crisp nights and some of nature's most beautiful colors are just a few of the things that make fall so fun. As much as Utah is not my favorite place in the world, the trees here in the fall are breathtaking, especially up in the canyon. There are also so many fun fall things to do!

Some of my favorites thing about fall are 

1. Football games. Fall would not be fall without college football. Plus it adds just a little bit more spice to the weekend! 

2. Jeans & Sweaters! Utah, especially is so stinking hot until the end of Sept. beginning of Oct. and I always look forward to being able to pull out my jeans and sweaters and not be dying of heat halfway up the hill! 

3. Farmers Markets. Fall harvests always bring out the best fresh food at local farmers markets. 

4. Pumpkin Patches. I am a really big nerd and I love pumpkin patches and carving pumpkins, etc. I am really excited to go with Laren this year! 

5. Halloween. I loved Halloween growing up and i'll admit it I went trick-or-treating until I was 18... whoops! I am really excited for when our kids will be old enough to dress up and take trick-or-treating ( which won't be for a while!!)

6. Crafts / House decorations. There are so many fun crafts to make for fall. When I get a free weekend, which is looking like never, I am going to attempt a few. 

7. General Conference. I love General Conference, it is such a wonderful spiritual experience and is one of the highlights of my fall. Living in Utah it is especially wonderful because it means that I get to see my family for the weekend. I can't wait for them to get here!! 

8. Thanksgiving, of course! It may be later in fall and more like winter if you are in Utah, but Thanksgiving is always the best. Not only do I have so much to be thankful for, but an entire weekend of family, food, and football, what else could you ask for? 

What do you love about fall??
