Here's the deal...

I am going to keep my blog going, I am just going to be lazy at doing it.

It has been a few months since I last posted. Here is what is going to happen in the next few weeks/months...give or take.

+ School is starting August 29th. I am very excited. I decided to change my major. I am going to focus on education and one day become a Science or Biology teacher. This will take some time, but it will be worth it and the time it takes to get a masters is psychology is much longer. Basically subtracting the time and money I couldn't devote to my education for psychology.

+ Autumn is coming, which is my favorite time of the year. Everyone always says they like the smell and the colors... I enjoy everything that comes with fall. It brings me back to a more simple time in life. Reminds me that when I was a kid I was silly and didn't realize everything that was going on around me, but that's okay. I miss that part in life. I miss caring about if I am going to have a awesome costume and how much candy I would get on Halloween. Running around in sweat pants and sweaters and not caring if they were "in fashion" or not. Autumn - in my head - is everything I love about life.
Soon I will go apple picking with my son and my boyfriend August. Take a trip up north to see the foliage. Enjoy a hayride with them, and pick out the perfect pumpkins we'd like to carve or paint. Shopping for Halloween costumes together, then going to parties and trick or treating.

+After all that, November will be just around the corner. Thanksgiving with the family...classes... then a Christmas tree. My goodness! The next few months will be spectacular!

That is my update. Feel free to ask questions. I like to give answers, if I contain them.

  1. I am with you on the autumn thing. It goes beyond the colors and smell. There is something intimate for me when the cool breeze brushes my skin and hair. It brings back memories of being a kid when life was simple, just like you said.

    I can't even describe the feelings that are brought to me. I miss decorating my house with corn stalks, hay bales, a scarecrow (which I made myself), and Indian corn. I miss playing in the leaves in the yard. I miss having the time to just lay in the leaves and do nothing but enjoy being alive. Hearing the crinkling of leaves as they blow in the wind. And hearing the sound of wind chimes. Time felt as though it stopped during those moments.

    I miss the excitement of trying to find a costume for Halloween. I miss trick-or-treating. I miss passing out candy to those who stopped at my house. Its not that I feel too old to trick or treat... I just haven't had time to do anything, I don't have money to do anything, and I definitely don't have a house or yard.

    I love fall so much... but it is almost depressing when I REALLY think back to the old days. I can't wait to have those kind of days again. When I don't have to slave away missing out on the little things in life. <3

  2. Exactly. I feel like autumn makes me happier inside too. I know winter makes me happy, and spring for some odd reason ends up making me depressed... I don't really get it, but it does. You figured winter would because you get stuck inside more often and the three holidays during the winter are probably the most depressing if you are single or without family. I guess that's just how I work.

  3. Yayy on having the motivation to keep the blog going. Now thats optimism.

    Interesting choice to become a science/bio teacher, If you are looking for inspiration, i suggest you watch the movie bad teacher. If that doesnt make you like a highschool teacher, then nothing will.
