See ya later Summer, HELLO Autumn!

Happy 1st day of Autumn to everyone who actually reads my blog :) I am SO excited that summer is gone, I decided to type in orange to honor the beautiful season which is upon us. The other day we were driving to town and I noticed a few maple trees are a tiny bit beginning to turn red :) In a matter of weeks, we will be able to look around and see all the colors of fall!

I think I am actually going to buy pumpkins this year, carve them and put them on our porch. Even though I am working Halloween night, I think it would be fun to be a wee bit festive this year. Who know, I may even splurge a little and buy a few indoor decorations! I flew home from Missouri last year on Halloween so I did not take the time to decorate. What's the fun in that? I'm smelling a great FHE in the Quillon home in a couple weeks. I'll make Paul my dad's famous hot chocolate and cookies or something. I think that will seal the deal! He will carve pumpkins if I feed him :)

This time of year ALWAYS reminds me of the years I spent growing up in Wisconsin. Every Fall, my family would drive to Devil's Lake. We would hike and then stop for caramel apples on our way home. (IDEA: Maybe I will make Paul a caramel apple while we carve pumpkins!! ) I will never forget those years with my family. I grew up in such a wonderful home, filled with amazing holiday memories.

I am flying home (to Missouri) in 2 weeks. I'll only be home for 4 days which means I won't have much, if any, time to see people I want so much to see... but I will have lots of quality time with my mom! I can't wait to spend that time with her, just the two of us. This is kinda a last minute trip home but I am ready to spend a few days with some of my family.

We actually had a realtor come for a previewing yesterday. She did a quick walk through and then left. Apparently there is an elderly couple who's moving to the area from our of town/state (not sure which). Their realtor fears the house will be too big for them, but we will have to wait and see. They are apparently coming to see the house early next week. I sure hope they don't decide not to come b/c Paul and I worked our rear end's off getting the house ready for the showing. I will say though, the house looks awesome now. Monday I have to go to Lowes and buy a few bags of mulch for the front of the house, but other then that, the front yard is not looking too shabby. We are keeping our fingers crossed that the couple likes the house. Testing dates for Rock Springs, Wy PD is the 2nd week of January. We are sooooooo much wanting the house to be sold by then. We would love to be able to fly to Wy in January so he can test for their PD. It's a strange feeling to be pulled to another area of the country, but be tied down to your current location. Wish us luck :)

I think that's all we have for now. I'm off to the grocery store to buy milk and popcorn.
