Oranges and browns and reds Oh My!

I forget how much I absolutely love this time of the year. The jackets and wheat decorations. I always look forward to it, but nothing beats it when it gets here! I love sweater and boots weather (minus the snow).

I am trying to stay motivated and keep moving along in my college courses. I usually get my assignments done at the beginning of the week so I have the rest of the week to finish the readings for the classes I don't have assignments in.

Justin has started playing flag football. He's having fun. I am really starting to see a lot more of all the city sports in our future. There is a sport that we like to play almost year round, and it keeps us active and {mostly} outdoors, so I'm liking it.

His team is doing well so far, and I hope they're enjoying themselves, So far they've been scheduled for 3 games:

1- Won

2- Loss

3- Cancelled due to weather.

I played my first two womens volleyball games in probably 8 years last night. I had so much fun. I remember how much I LOVE that game. I'm still very rusty, but we'll take a little while to get back into things I'm sure. Even though we lost both games, I had a great time!

It's a weird feeling to have Justin be the one sitting on the side lines doing the cheering while I'm the one playing. Our entire relationship has been the other way around, or he's at least playing with me. This will be interesting.

When I'm not doing homework or playing volleyball or watching Justin play football, or working.... I'm wishing I was decorating my house with cute little benches I want to build...

{like this one}

I also love this picture of this entryway because my entryway is in the exact same layout. The door, the wall, even the little black table in the far left of this picture.

I am planning on making a board similar to this one to hang on the wall above a bench

{Like the one in the picture above}

I think it would be so adorable!!!I've also slowly gotten a few autumn decorations up and around. I found this free printable online today and saved it. Now I just need to go home and print it and frame it to add to my {very small} autumn collection.

I'm also very excited to go to an upcominggame.

We are going with my coworkers from Anadarko. It'll be so much fun. I know Justin is excited to go. We always have fun at Jazz games. We are going to go to Tucanos (YUMMY) first for dinner, then walk over.

I'm also SO EXCITED at the CHANCE that Justin MIGHT let me stop at....

TAI PAN on Saturday before we come home.

He's always sweet and lets me, so I'm super excited.

I love this store more than I should probably.

This way I can pick up some more fall decorations

Like these:

Or these....

And maybe get a few Christmas Decorations so I can start getting all prepared for

THIS:

I know it's a while away and I'm not even close to being ready. But I'm excited to go to Tai Pan so I guarantee if they have Christmas stuff out already, I'll end up buying something.

We are so incredibly blessed and happy with our lives. We are incredibly fortunate to have all that we do and especially to live in this free country!!

Count your blessings....

And have a good day!
