Happy Birthday Dear














Happy Birthday Drew! I love him, and for so many reasons. My aunt does this cute thing on her blog where she puts 10 things she loves about whoever's birthday it is, and I think I will follow suit with my darling husband's big 29th birthday- woo hoo! Way to go Drew, almost to 30!

1. He is hilarious- he always makes me laugh laugh laugh, I love it- best sense of humor ever.
2. He is so handsome- maybe a little shallow of me, but hey that's what attracted me to this man in the first place- his dark curly hair, big dark eyes, skinny body, handsome face- love it, can't get enough of it.
3. He is such a darling dad- his baby girl just adores him, those two together are just the dang cutest thing.
4. He is adventurous and spontaneous- always wants to be doing something and wanting for that something to be fun.
5. He is sooo smart- he reads and reads and about everything too- the news, economy stuff, wars, social movements, history, people, places- everything (while I read E!Online).
6. He is honest- Drew has a very innate sense of right and wrong and always makes sure he's on the right side.
7. He is a sweet good husband- he is helpful and kind and makes me feel good about myself and is always encouraging me to be better
8. His laugh- best. thing. ever. (if you haven't heard it, you should).
9. He always tells me I'm cute or beautiful and whenever we see famous people on tv or whatever he always says, "Those people are so fake none of them are actually naturally attractive, you're a million times prettier than any of them." (so not true but nice to hear).
10. He makes me happy.

I LOVE YOU DREW!

Autumn


Has anyone else ever noticed in Virginia that almost exactly when September hits- BAM!-  automatically Fall starts up?  All of a sudden it gets chilly in the evenings and mornings.  All of a sudden it's not quite so bright and sunny.  All of a sudden the leaves on the dogwood trees are turning brown.  I love it.  I love and welcome and eagerly anticipate the Fall.  I mean, I love the Summer too- I love wearing nothing but dresses and letting Valentine run around in just her diaper and the warm, close moist air.  But, there is nothing like Virginia Falls.  I've been aching for them while I've been away (stupid Vegas).  The crispiness of the air.  The beautiful reds and golds showering off the tips of trees.  The smell.  The taste.  The fog and frost in the mornings.  Jumping in piles of lovely leaves.  The pumpkins.  Halloween and Thanksgiving.  Drew's and Valentine's birthdays.  Don't even get me started on Fall wardrobe.  I love it.  I crave it.  Welcome Fall- I've been expecting you.
