1. the weather gets a little cooler. in case you aren't familiar with the summer climate of columbia, sc allow me to inform you, it's hot, humid, and all around miserable. september brings that cool breeze that all of us have been literally dying for. this week, we took the puppies on their first "walk" (we went a total of 14 houses and they just turned circles the bulk of the time) at 6:30am and our house temperature felt hot when we came back from the 15 minutes they survived outside. i love that.
2. college football. recently, in an effort to save money, we got rid of cable. college football is the only reason we hesitated to do it. thankfully, matt gets to go to all of the carolina games and the ones i don't get to go to, i have plenty of friends who do still have cable. i am so proud of my alma mater and our opening game thursday night. i wish i could have been in williams brice. i know it was awesome! here is a picture of matt at the game. no idea what he was doing or thinking. GO COCKS!
3. you can start thinking about the holidays. i know, i know, stores having their christmas decorations out already is truly out of control but i like that now is the time you can make the holiday plans and start thinking of christmas gift ideas and what kind of card i'm going to make this year (because i AM sending out cards this year and i AM going to make them). i just like the planning and anticipation that begins now for the upcoming months.
this time of the year just brings back the best memories for me. this is when marching band really gets going, and that makes me excited. this is when you can start visiting orchards and farms. this is long sleeved t-shirts with shorts weather (one of my favorite outfit combos). it's just the beginning of the craziness that will be the remaining few months of the year. it's just a great time.
