Autumn is my favorite season. Mostly because my birthday is in October. As is my wedding anniversary. Basically, my family has adapted to the fact that the month of October is associated with ME.
I don't know when I started getting crazy for my birthday, I just know that when I was younger I loved my birthday. But not just my birthday, I love birthdays in general. I think it is one of the most special feelings in the world when you wake up knowing it is your birthday. Then I had kids, and I think theirs is even better than mine.
Before the kids, came the hubby though. There wasn't even a doubt that we were going to plan a fall wedding. The date in October just happened due to the church and venue; not that I wasn't totally fine with it. My birthday and anniversary happen to be 3 days apart, which is convenient for the hubby.
October to me means keeping cozy, pumpkin flavored everything, tea-time, reading by the fire, watching family movies together, chilly mornings and beautiful colors everywhere.
But no matter how excited I may be for this month, now that all the festivities for celebrating are actually over, I must take some time for myself. Ironically enough, to me, this being our 13th wedding anniversary, it will also be the month that I must get my tonsils removed.
I am not nervous about the actual procedure, but the recovery for adults is pretty bad. I am anticipating the worst sore throat ever. my doctor has put me out of work for 3 weeks, so I am just going to pray that I am not miserable the whole time.
So, I hope to update you all in a couple of weeks and let you know that this October hasn't failed me. Who knows, maybe I will get to enjoy a little bit of the season from my porch, all bundled up. I hope that you get to enjoy the beginning of this very wonderful season, and please forgive my absence in the meantime. Until we meet again, friends!
