Like many other Arizona natives, I absolutely adore fall! It is by far the best weather all year long! I know this is just the beginning stages of fall, but I am still so excited! The only thing Arizona is lacking is the changing colors....but I will let that slide and settle with the gorgeous weather that doesn't make me freeze.
TOP EIGHT REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BE AS EXCITED FOR FALL AS ME:
(Disclaimer: There could be more than eight reasons...I could just be too lazy to think of more...)
1. Pumpkin - I adore anything and everything pumpkin. There are so many delicious treats and desserts that taste magnificent with pumpkin.
2. Holiday decorating - This is my first year as a homeowner..well technically we owned the house last year, but only Andrew lived here, so this is my first official year for decorating. I love all the fun, creative ways to make a house seem festive and cozy. I could actually probably spend hours in decorating stores getting ideas. My current weakness for everything decor is Hobby Lobby.
3. Cool weather - I feel like this summer has been abnormally hot or maybe just the fact that Andrew and I don't like hiking up the bill with running our AC constantly. I am so ready for the nice cool breezes that the fall brings. I can't wait to enjoy going on walks or riding our bikes again.
4. Jackets - Jackets are so delightful. I love the nice, big cozy sweatshirts or the cute, sophisticated trench coat. I always get cold in restaurants, even in 115 degree weather, so it will be nice to look around the dinner table and see other people wearing jackets and not just me.
5. Candles - I am ecstatic to have the holiday scents back. I have a current obsession with candles and my favorites happen to be the ones that only come around during the holidays.
6. Amazing food - For some reason really good baking and cooking just doesn't happen during the summer. Its always too hot to turn on the darn oven! Pies, turkey, stuffing...the list really just keeps going...
7. Candy - There is a little holiday that happens to occur during my fall celebrations. I could really care less about the dressing up aspect of Halloween since I don't have children, but I do appreciate and enjoy the candy aspect. Halloween is a great excuse to stock the house with candy AND there are always awesome deals on leftover bags of candy on November 1st. Clearly a win-win.
8. Bonfires - Bonfires are a great way to hang out..especially on a cool fall night. A bonfire, friends, and possibly some smores = an evening well spent.
Obviously you can see the fall is awesome. Case closed.
