fall is my favorite.
it makes me very happy and incredibly nostalgic all at once, with twinges of sadness for things that aren't around or possible anymore.
things i'm happy about/excited for:
sweaters, scarves, mittens, knitting, blankets, cuddling, crisp nights, starry skies, changing leaves, falling leaves, apple cider, pumpkins, my brother's wedding, my 1 year anniversary, finally learning myo and nmt at school, old friends, new friends, favorite movies, nights in, and nights out.
i could probably keep going.
and yet half of these things give me an odd mixture of feelings because i've loved them and known them so well in other places, with people i hardly see anymore.
things that i miss:
the trails by the river (mt. p), my old roommates, lotr risk and susannie's mom's toffee, impersonatimg g-dup, e's crackbaby tendencies, piling onto ktb's bed, visitng emily and carol, the old 110, gatherings, ht's, alison and beth, eric, nerd dispensers in our hats, and football games.
just to name a few.
yet despite all these things i miss, i wouldn't give up where i am for anything. i've got an amazing husband and i found a spectacular school, learning something that i absolutely love. if anything i'd just like to dip back into those old things to reexperience them and taste just how sweet they really were.
i'm just glad for now that i can still remember things so vividly.
i am thankful for that.
