let's get this show on the road



i think we're officially ready for fall.

levi and i made a pact today that we would try to capture the "essence" of things this year.

for example, this fall, we want to do lots of "fall-y" things like make hot apple cider, carve pumpkins, make pumpkin bread, do all kinds of pumpkin stuff, and dress up for halloween.

we just want to enjoy the year to its fullest and try to create some sort of distinction between seasons since we don't really get much of that here in southern california.

well, it's kinda more my thing than levi's, but he's more than willing to participate.

so fall, bring it on!

  6. Fall is my favorite season of all and I have been ready for it since June! I love going to pumpkin patches, drinking caramel apple cider, reading October and November issues of magazines, making yummy soups, wearing warm sweaters - you get the idea. I'm not much for warm weather so I don't think I'd survive if I lived in California. :)

    I live for fall, but I appreciate that you're trying to enjoy all of it. Should be lots of cute pictures.

  12. That's exactly what we want to do. :) It will be our very first Halloween together (yeah, after 8 years of being together it's about time but my husband is in the military and training routines, deployments etc. always come in the way) and we are so going to dress up and decorate. And since we are living in a military community there are lots of kids and I can't wait to pass out candy. It will be great!

    And yes, we Southern Californians have to make our own seasons!! You are so right!! And, I think I wouldn't have it any other way. :)

  18. that's a great way to look at things and it allows you to create really special levi/jasmine traditions. when you have babies they will love it and your family will have so many cool memories!

  20. I heart fall :) football games, bonfires, roasting marshmallows, pumpkin MUFFINS, light sweaters, layers, hoodies, spiced (spiked) cider, halloween, hay rides, leaves, and snuggling is so much more appealing when it's not so sticky and hot :) Cheers to fall! Plus, it makes for some beautiful photos!

  21. I always say that Fall is my favorite season, but really I like them all equally when they come around (except winter). I love the "fall smell." I am excited for trenchcoats and boots and football tailgating and smores and fireplaces and crunchy leaves and halloween and warm coffee in a cool breeze and the way sunshine looks in the Fall.

  22. Don't rush fall on me! I am a summertime girl all the way... Don't me wrong fall is beautiful--I'm just not ready!

    Btw - I love this photo of you and Levi :)
