Go Away Summer





I'm done with summer. I'm done with the hot sun. I'm done with flip-flops. I'm done with short sleeves. I'm done with people who only wear sleeves and shorts that look like underwear.

I'm ready for FALL! I'm ready for cool weather. I'm ready for jackets and BOOTS. I'm ready for leaves to crisp under my feet. I'm ready for pumpkins and warm soup.



Fall is starting in Logan. Sort-of. The leaves are changing (yay!), but the weather is so hot I want to cry. I want to wear sweats and thick socks and watch the rain come down out the window as I eat warm pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I don't want to sweat while walking home and have people step on my toes because I'm wearing flip flops.


I love fall. In my world, It would be fall all year round (with a little bit of winter thrown in).

I need some good recipes for FALL. What is your favorite fall soup, cookie, dinner, breakfast, lunch?. . . I need as much fall as i can get before winter lasts for 9 months.

I'm BACK!

It's almost been month since I blogged! What with school, homework, IWA, choir practices, crafts, socializing, catching up on Project Runway, and trying to get enough sleep, I have been too busy to blog. :( BUT i'm back, and I'm ready to get all these thoughts out of my head and into the blog world. There's been many a time that I woke up in the middle of the night and thought--OH! I should blog about that. Most of those ideas have be scratched when I woke up fully, and realized how weird they were--BUT some you will be privileged to read. (ha!)

#40: Walk to Class a Different Way. . .See What You've Been Missing

Yes, I'm still doing by 101 things to do before I graduate! I WILL finish! promise! :)



Even though school has only been going on for a month or so, I have already fallen into a routine. What can I say--I am a creature of habit. I like my routine to go exactly the same everyday, and if something happens to change that--I am not a happy camper. (I'm never a happy camper, but you get the picture.)
HOWEVER, I've realized that I need to have things change in my life or I won't grow. It always seems to happy that once I get comfortable, (in a calling, in school, in life) Heavenly Father throws me a curve ball and my life is once again changed. It's going to happen, so I need to learn to like change---yikes.
So I tried this simple change the other day, and walked a different way to class, and also took the long bus home. I am SO glad I did. I still got to class on time--(i think I was even earlier)--and I was able to see a different side of campus I hardly get to see. I wish I had my camera with me so I could've taken some pictures--fall is here in Logan and it is BEAUTIFUL! The bus ride was equally gorgeous. It was longer, but the trees were changing colors and I saw a part of Logan I never get to see either.
Overall, it was a good lesson: Change, although hard at first, can be beautiful! Challenge for you: Change one thing in your life. Whether it be something simple, like walking a different way to class; or something big, like getting up an hour earlier to exercise: pick something you are scared to change, and CHANGE it! You'll be happy you did. like this lady.
