October 1st!

So many of you are probably wondering what is so significant about October 1st? Am I missing some important holiday? No, it is just an ordinary day for many but not for me! For me it is the start of my three most favorite months of the year-October, November, and December! I just finished putting up my fall decorations and I am already feeling the excitement of the holiday season! I am always excited and very cheery on October 1st because of all there is to anticipate over the next few months! Here are a few of the reasons why I love these three months!!

1. Fall!-That is obvious enough. I love the change of the leaves, the smell in the air and the cool weather. I love everything about fall and am looking forward to the weather getting cooler!

2.General conference- I love beginning this time by hearing from the prophets and apostles. It leaves me feeling happy and spiritually renewed!

3. Halloween!-We love dressing up, going to parties, eating candy, and I love orange and everything is orange during Halloween!

4. My Birthday!-It is in November and it is always fun to celebrate it

5. Thanksgiving-I love this holiday where we can gather as family and friends and remember what we have to be thankful for.

6. Savanna's birthday!-This a new celebration to add to our list since Savanna was born on December 22nd!

7. Christmas!-Of course this is obvious, most people love Christmas. I love everything about it. The music, the decorations, the shopping, the time with friends and family, the caroling, and the chance to reflect on the birth of the Savior. 8. The New Year-Although I am always a bit sad when December comes to a close, I am grateful for the opportunity to start a new year. It is always beneficial to review the past year and also look to the future. Also, American Idol starts in January...and you all know that makes me happy!

Thanks for listening to all my gushy talk about this time of year. I just can't help it-it makes me too excited. I wish you all a Happy October 1st!!
