I'm longing for...

candy corn • SEC football • falling leaves • cooler temperatures • pumpkins • mums • burlap decor • the holidays • soups for dinner • snuggling up with blankets • new seasons of TV shows for Fall • Halloween candy • #hailstate • cowbells • cookouts with friends • celebrating family birthdays • holiday movies • Christmas shopping (online that is) • nights by the fireplace • early night snuggles with the Mr • opening the windows to enjoy the fresh air • porch sitting without sweating • rivalry football games • the smell of Fall in the air • new candles with pumpkin and cinnamon scents • hot chocolate • the time change (and I fully realize I might be the only one) • fun road trips • tailgating recipes • seeing family members • the Mr not having to cut our grass • organization in our office/guest room • cardigan weather • fleece pajamas • wearing a jacket in the morning and evenings • the hustle and bustle in the air • sales, sales, and more sales • Christmas lights • laughter from multiple blow ups in people's yards • no mosquitos, gnats or any other bugs • a snow day • the sound of kids playing in the afternoons after school • fall festivals

Basically I'm over the dog days of summer — bring me Fall/Winter!
