It’s Finally Fall Y’all!

Autumn, my most beloved time of year is finally here, and I am beyond excited. My all-time favorite thing to do this time of year is to (respectfully and responsibly) drive mountain roads while the colorful leaves sprinkle down onto the upcoming curves and bends. Once at the top, I like to sit back and enjoy nature’s painting of the mountains with magnificent hues of red, orange, and yellow, much like a real-life Bob Ross canvas. Extremely therapeutic, highly recommend. Sadly, my husband will not allow me to drive the mountains while 9 months pregnant…but I look forward to next year with my new driving co-pilot!

Speaking of autumn foreshadowing, I believe I am also in store for crazy Halloween costumes, a long night of trick or treating, and attending all the fun fall events that October holds dear. Events that I have only been able to experience with younger members of my family, but now I get to enjoy future festivities (and themed birthdays) with my own child, which is wild to think about. I hope she loves scary movies and haunted houses as much as I do.

As I am expecting, October 2024 means I am going to miss out on the fall golf event at Chateau Elan, which is a real bummer, and a first for me. I do not think I have missed volunteering at a golf outing in almost a decade. Yet again, there is always next year with SLA’s newest volunteer.

Happy October everyone! I hope everyone enjoys the beginning of Autumn and has a blast at the golf event!
