Lovin me some September!
September is such a great month. The weather begins to cool in the evenings and mornings, which is so refreshing! I dont sweat like a horse when i’m sleeping, which is nice! And the fair comes to town! YAY!
Sad thing is, last year as jeff and I were in line at the fair waiting to ride all the rides, we felt (for the first time) SILLY. Old. Out of place. We were watching the "kids" in front of us totally macking on each other and we were repulsed at the lack of respect for those around them and that the girl in particular would be so openly frisky. Good grief. So we started quoting bible verses to each other. Seriously… and they didnt even come up for air! Its like no one existed but them. Oh, and it wasnt just one couple, it was most teen couples in line. Now i know we are old(er) than they, but it wasnt that long ago that Jeff and I were teens and dating and we NEVER wanted to get into pda like that. Holding hands, fine. A small kiss, nice. Hugs, lovely….but licking each others lips off in front of others… wasnt gonna happen!
So for the first time, this year we will enjoy the fair as adults. We’ll walk around, eat the food till we are sick, enjoy the exibits and probably ride the ferris wheel. And i think it will actually be nice.
Ps. last year we ran into Kristy (masterson) and her dad cause its their tradition to share the fair together (wouldnt mind reading a blog about that, kristy!) and i dont mind saying i felt so childish holding my coke can so i could get a few bucks off on my "stamp".
Anyways, i love this time of year. All week, jeff and I have enjoyed taking long walks (spud’s enjoyed it, too, although he is aging a bit and slowing down towards the end) and just talking and enjoying the cool of the evenings. Thats just one of the best parts of September. Lovin it!
I LOVE the fall as well! I enjoy being outside (not as much as Micah though. He could spend ALL day outside) Soon, we’ll be able to be out for longer periods of time. It has been a hot summer and I am so ready for some cool weather….and although I know you’re not a UGA fan…. fall means football and WE LOVE FOOTBALL!!! GOOOO DAWGS!!!!
