Fall is my favorite time of year. The smell, the colors, and football. Saturday morning when I woke up it was around 65 degrees outside and all I wanted was to make coffee, cook some cinnamon rolls and sit on my porch to watch the cars drive by. That is a perfect fall morning to me. [I had to work so I couldn't... but I will soon] I love having my house decorated, the newest fall Wallflower plugged in, and hay bales with corn stalks in my front yard... this time of year my house really feels 'homey' and perfect!
Driving to work on Saturday I was thinking, if I wasn't back together with Cory right now -- I would be thinking about him (and missing him). Fall was always the hardest time for me when we were broken up. In the fall when we were together we would be back at school, running around in the country look for him places to hunt, and enjoying the weather. We watched a lot of football together and ate even more cinnamon rolls. Everything about fall makes me think of him.
During our few year hiatus I couldn't go to a Walnut Ridge football game without him (and Tyler) on my mind. My goodness the hours that we spent at that football field during our years at Walnut Ridge along with every game Tyler played. It couldn't be a cold, rainy morning without me texting him (or wanting to) telling him I how perfect the morning was... cold, rainy mornings have always been Cory's favorite. I would always take pictures of Sunnie playing volleyball to send to Cory because I knew deep down he wished he was there watching her. Driving around watching combines in the field and hearing my brother talk about duck season (and hunting with Cory) was like pure torture. Oh, and the fairs - boy does Cory love funnel cake... we have experienced a fair or two back in the day.
Funny how just a time of year, a crisp in the air, and the feeling that fall brings makes you think of someone or something. It makes me tear up a little bit, thinking about how bad I missed him during our time apart... A secret that I told no one. I'm so very thankful that this fall, the entire fall I get to spend with Cory... well, I guess I get to spend the rest of my life with him.. So that's something to be very thankful for!
Bring on Fall! Football, harvest, pumpkins, and a WEDDING!
I want to eat cinnamon rolls, drink apple cider, and light a bunch of "Cinnamon Cider" candles in my house right now.....
