Six Things I’m happy about

1. The fall leaves are all beautiful. I love driving around in town through the older neighborhoods. It looks radiant. And the bright colors are surrounding me right now at my parents’ home in the country. This is the first fall that I’ve spent in Washington since Rick proposed to me (and our 5 year anniversary for that is coming up!). Sigh. Autumn is a romantical season.

2. The election season will be over soon! This makes me happy. I’d really like to just know who our president will be (I already have a sneaking suspicion) and then move on with life, and I’m happy that this time is approaching quickly.

3. Taneisha will have her baby boy very soon! It makes me want to squeal with delight when I think of it. And the arrival of her little man will soon be followed by a new niece! These are indeed joyous times.

4. The chunk of hair that Kyrie cut is starting to grow and look more like bangs. I’m not a big fan of bangs, but they are better than a terribly short chunk that was quite obviously an accident.

5. The day that we move into our own house is approaching. We may not know the exact date, but we do know that every day brings us closer to it! (I feel like we’re waiting for a baby.)

6. It’s still legal to purchase and consume chocolate. I’m so thankful for this. I think I’ll have to take advantage of my freedom and maybe buy a candy bar.
