I don't really know how it happened because it just sort of crept upon me, but autumn is here! I was a little hesitant and sad about summer ending this year, but i have a feeling this fall will be one to remember.
I love my roommates so much. They are perfect for me. All (3) of them are fun, down-to-earth and chatty, but not clingy and invasive. It's exactly what i need and what i've been looking for. My church's ward is very active and its pretty incredible how often things are going on. Also, our apartment signed up for a food group, so every monday through thursday we have a cooked meal to depend on. It's a great idea and lots of fun. I'm excited to get to know everyone more!
I'm also excited for this weather. Today i walked onto campus and it was windy and chilled. There are a handful of trees on the mountains that have already turned red and gold and it's a beautiful thing to see! I'm ready to buy baby pumpkins, get delicious foods cooking in the oven, and settling into our cozy home!
Mostly i just really want to move to New England! I feel like the seasons there are more defined and people are a little more old-fashioned in their patriotism. I'm probably romanticizing this a little bit, but New England is just a great place to be! I want to move there as soon as I possibly can. Do a little town on the edge of a sea, where I can wear cable knit sweaters all day and be among beautiful things.
Other than my daydreaming about moving east, I've been busy busy busy. I'm being very diligent about my homework and social life. I'm seeing all my old friends again and trying to push myself to be more social, more kind, more approachable. I also want to get really good grades this semester, and I really REALLY want to get into the advertising major.
What else is going on? I'm ready to get settled in. Margaret is moving on wednesday and I'm going in and out of being really sad about it. We've gotten a lot closer the past few months and I hate to say goodbye. But maybe it will be good for me. Maybe something better will come along the way?
Reason #2 I need a husband: so i have someone to watch Murder, She Wrote with me.
