Pumpkin Time

I can't believe it's already going to be October! I feel like this year just began, it's so crazy that when we were younger the years went by slower. I wonder why that is? Probably because we didn't have much to do or think about or tons of places to go.

Anyways Fall is basically here (even though the weather doesn't agree!) and I finally broke down and got some pumpkin puree and made my first pumpkin recipe today! I made Pumpkin bread in a crock pot! It was yummy! and so so so so easy to follow! Here is where you can find the recipe ....  http://www.letsgetcrockin.com/2012/04/crockpot-pumpkin-bread/
Although I didn't use a bread pan or any of that I just dumped it in the crock pot on high for 2 hours came out yummy! Next time I think i'll add sugar and cinnamon on top while it bakes! Anyways it's a must try.

Well fall is here and that is my most absolute favorite season! I love basically everything about fall! From the cool weather, changing colors, smells etc... you name it i love it! I love my fall wardrobe and I expanded on it this year and can't wait to wear some of my new outfits that I got!

I love love love love taking decorating my house for falls, the warm colors just make my heart happy. Don't you think? Plus I have so many new cool decor ideas thanks to pinterest lets see if I actually do any of them! Haha
What kinds of things do you like to have around the house to decorate for fall? I love oranges and deep reds and Greens and leaves and flowers etc. Candles!!! I'll have to post some photos when I have them up. Below is a picture of a fall wreath i made at my churches craft day this past Saturday! I plan on putting it on my front door!

So yeah as you can tell i get excited about fall, but besides all that stuff I love that it brings thanksgiving and family time and just to be reminded of all the things I have to be thankful to God for! Even though I should always think about what I am thankful for, but that's not always the case is it? I feel as though I think of it maybe every few months and am really reminded of it in the fall. But really I am thankful for so much. I feel that we always are asking for things and get upset when it doesn't happen that we forget about  what we do have. Like take me... I really want another baby, I ask God everyday for one and right now he is not giving it to me ( for those who don't know my husband and I have a 5% chance of getting pregnant on our own and adopted our son) but I keep focusing on it asking why I can't have what I want, when really there are so many things to be thankful for, like My son! What a miracle God blessed us with! and us moving to Sacramento and giving us the friends we need around us, and My husband becoming the worship leader at our church(even though he never asked for it or thought he could do it) and how it is growing him as a man of God. I am so thankful for many things that are happening in our life. God is definitely stretching us and growing us! Even when we don't want to be stretch, Like me I am being asked of God to do something but honestly its hard to say yes.But I know i will be thankful to Him for the outcome! I need to try and be more thankful for things around me and in my life everyday of the year not just in the fall! Right?


Anyways enough about that! Now that you know that my favorite season is fall, tell me what yours is! I would love to know! How else do you get to know each other if you don't share things like this!
Well Have a great day and hope to hear about your favorites!
