Falling

I loved the familiar feelings I had this morning. They are feelings that I experience each year as August comes to a close and September begins.

I loved hearing College Game Day on the tv as I walked through the house.

I loved knowing that football would consume my husbands day. 

I find some sort of odd comfort in the fact that my husband loves sports. It reminds me of my growing up and my dad. 

I loved the blue sky, sunshine and fresh air that smelled of change. 

Though warm, there was a briskness that has been absent for months. 

I loved that I contemplated between shorts and pants this morning.

I loved that pants won!

Fall is falling into place, just as it should. 

I love this time of year and I love changing seasons. With each season, I am reminded that change is good. It is inevitable and sometimes untimely, yet good for the soul; a simple reminder that I am not in control.

I would have to agree with you 100%. Especially the College Game Day and football watching. I believe that is all Jeremy did yesterday--it was nice to sit around and watch football (even though the Tech game was not on!) I am so glad the weather is getting cooler & it's almost Fall!

I love the fall and I love football season. I love the rise I get when I travel to that game on Friday night and the feeling I get when it is all over tv Saturday. And of course you can add us to your blog! I love reading yours often!!! You should have been an English teacher, :)

Very well said! My favorite part is being at Jacob's football games and Jaden's soccer games...nothing is better than watching your kiddos play. And gotta mention how amazing it is to be sitting in the grass at the park with the kids and to look up and see all the leaves blowing in the wind!

I just have to say - this post made me a little sad! We miss West Texas and the season change there! Here in Houston, it's either really hot and humid, hot and humid or just okay. Rarely do we get "cold" weather and I really miss that sign of change. It should start to cool down at the end of this month (it's still 102 degrees), but nothing compares to football games in West Texas in the fall!!!!!!!!!!!!! agggghhhh!

My hubby was just saying... I don't know about you, but it smells like fall is in the air. I personally think he's nuts, but I love this time of year! :) Mums, halloween, crisp-er nights. :)

And we have a high school right behind our house, so we can enjoy the sounds of high school football.

On a different note... what church did your hubby preach at in Fort Worth? You can email me if you like. :)
