back to school

I have always said Summer is my favorite season. i love the sun, the warmth, and all the things you can do with good weather like that. but in utah, the summers are so dang hot. i think Fall is quickly taking over as my favortie season. it's still warm and sunny, but much more bearable to be outside doing things. not to mention, the beautiful colors of leaves and the crisp air. man i can't wait for fall.

i also love it because of back to school time. i always enjoyed school and i think my favorite part was the back to school shopping. maybe i'm weird, but i love the smell of feshly sharpened pencils, and new school supplies. when i was a kid, i used to play "office" because i loved all the office supplies so much. i used to want to be a secretary when i grew up. the day "the container store" opened in my home town, was a good, good day.

someday i will go back to school, but for now, i am living vicariously through my niece and nephew. i get to take them to their first day of school this year. i am so stinkin excited to get them all dressed up and all their school supplies in their backpacks, and take them to school, take pictures of them at their desks. oh it's going to be so fun!

another favorite thing to do is decorate my house for the holidays. back to school time marks the beginning of the holiday season and i can't wait. i have a basement full of decorations that only get to be seen for a month out of the year.

yay fall!
