Wrapping Up My September

September has come and gone. And with it, the heat of Summer has turned to a Autumn. As much as I love summer, Fall has it's own charm that I also get excited about. Like... sweater weather, people! And crisp mornings, cozy blankets, good books, and all the Fall colors that I love!

If I were to sum up my September in one word, it would be: busy. For not having a full time job, or even classes to keep up with, I am a very busy person. Seems like my to-do list is never ending.

Anyway, lets talk about my month, shall we?

~Church work bee~FROZEN HOT CHOCOLATE DRINKS~Soap making (Moon Child)~Mud Run with family and church friends~Foggy Mornings~Black and White Pictures~Designed a few book covers~Mowed the lawn~Went to the fair~Had a apple cider slushy and a taco salad!~Morning walks~Split wood with dad and big sis~Fall clothes~Painting~Birthday celebrations~Participated in a horse parade~Made more soap (Warm Cinnamon Spice and Charcoal Peppermint Cleanse)~Made scrunchies!~Printed off my WIPs so I wouldn't be devastated if my computer crashed...~Visited the library and couldn't help but smile when I walked in the doors~Road Trip with the Fam~Funny car selfies~Stayed on a houseboat for three nights~Washed our hair and shaved our legs in the lake (I'm telling ya, it was one of my highlights!)~Hammock on top of the boat~Waterfall wannabes~More soap making, getting ready for fall (Pumpkin Patch and Apple Pie!)~Made bath salts~Went to my younger cousins cross country meet: I'm so proud of her!~Looked at old pictures~Sent out the 100th Post Flash Fiction Contest prizes!

Ok, me falling off the couch because my sissy tickled me was pretty funny... for her. Maybe not so much for me?

Mom showed this to me from Facebook:

"WHY I HATED MATH:

In class:

5 + 5 = 10

Homework:

734 + 555 - 432 / 69 = 12.42

Test:

With 2 sheep flying, one yellow and the other headed right, how much does a pound of asphalt cost, given that the cow is 10 years old?"

^^Now THAT made me laugh! XD

Golden Cornfields ready for harvest~Morning sunrises that are always so pretty but never the same~

I love my Mom: you are so special to me. We are a great team, and I am blessed to be your daughter

I love my Dad: you are such a cool dad, thanks for working so hard to provide for us. You're the best.

I love my big sis: you will always have my back and I yours. We sisters stick together through thick and thin.

I love my lil' sis: You always make me laugh. I love spending time with you and know I can trust you with all my secrets.

Hmm, I'm learning a lot~And a lot~But it's hard to put into words~I'm learning how to run a small business~How to better manage my time (because, y'all, I need help in this area!)~How to smile more and worry less~How to put my phone down and live in the moment (why is this so hard for the generation we live in?)~I read slower than I think I do~Lets just say I brought 4 books on vacation and only read 7 chapters~Sad, I know!~I'm learning that Gods plans are higher than my own~That time flies~That it's ok to be you and not someone else~That there is no rush to get it all figured out because God's Will is the only timetable that matters.
