Fall

I love the fall! I think my love with the season started when I was in Boston in the fall and it was absolutely beautiful there! My anniversary is also in fall and that may add to it too! I love that it is cooler out (I know, I'll be wishing for summer come January). I love wearing sweatshirts and jeans again and I really love the smell of fall...the pumpkin spice! I also enjoy decorating the house a bit, I bring out my fall tablecloth and candles to enjoy! And yes, of course there is football! Eric absolutely loves this time of year. We laugh because it's a bitter-sweet time of year for us as teachers...school begins but college football does also! For those of you that don't know, Eric is a HUGE USC football fan. No, he did not attend there but he has loved it for years. He goes to a couple games a year and I usually go to one. They are fun and I love the atmosphere...tailgating before hand, eating "football" food, hearing the band play, and the game...I actually do like to watch a football game here and there, especially when they're exciting! My complaint about USC football is that all the games I go to, USC seems to cream the other team (not the case tonight however, as I watch, it's pretty close!) Anyway, last weekend was my weekend to go to the game. The game was at 5 and I'm accustomed to going early to tailgate and even if it's earlier then I like, I hold my tongue. It's once a year! SO, guess what time we left on Saturday!! 10:40! YES, in the morning! Eric even said it was too early for him but I just laughed at how crazy they all were and went! It was fun and I took my usual pre-game nap in my chair! We had a little rain while tailgating and Eric got pretty wet trying to save our food and it rained a little more during the game but all in all, it was a fun night!

Eric...just a little wet!
