Orange is for October

Orange is for October. Their evening skies provide.
What a redeeming couple of days. I have felt so very close to my savior. I've been dealing with so much rebellion and having so many fleshly struggles...and I finally gave it up to God, and felt so cleansed.
I've been encourage in my scripture reading, and in some of the close relationships I have.
Also, a verse from a song that has constantly been playing in my mind today...

"Make me empty, so I can be filled. 'cause I'm still holding onto my will. And I'm completed when you are with me. Make me empty."

Orange is for October. Pumpkins provide.
 Had my first pumpkin carving experience last night. Glad I got to share it with my guy. It was challenging, but it turned out so well. Ryan and I officially decided that this would be a tradition of ours, and that we would come up with crazier and harder things to carve each year. This was a great first year, though, and it was lots of fun. Now I'm suddenly craving all things pumpkin flavored. Seasonal goodness, get in my stomach.

Orange is for October. Marigolds provide.
It's finally feeling like fall. *WootWoot!* Marigolds are blooming beautifully--along will all kinds of other gorgeous fall flowers. This is definitely my favorite time of year, and I am stoked about having bonfires, carving pumpkins, and soaking up the wonderful {breezy}weather.

Kiana

I absolutely love babysitting this sassy girl. She reminds me so much of myself at that age...wanting to be the center of attention, and saying whatever comes to mind. I caught this priceless face on camera while she was eating {and entire carton} of raspberries. Goodness, she's a handful!

Hot Chocolate and a New Week

What's wrong with starting out your day with a cute mug full of hot chocolate? One thing I love about my schedule is that Monday contributes to my weekend. No school. No work. Monday's are great! This Monday, especially, had me really excited, because it happened to be a {wonderful} 60 degrees outside. Grabbed my blanket, my bible, and enjoyed some quiet time. --Here's to a new week!
