So two weekends ago, Justin and I decided to carve some pumpkins. I honestly don't remember ever carving a pumpkin when I was a child. It was a lot of fun. We scraped out the insides and carved our own designs. I then took the pumpkin seeds and cleaned them up to use for a project for my two year olds. We also made pumpkin pie. The house smelled delicious and I burned some of my fall scented candles which made the house so warm and inviting. It is definitely my favorite time of year. The leaves are turning gorgeous colors, bright oranges, reds and yellows; the weather is cool and crisp; and there is even a fallish scent in the air. I love it! I know that the holidays will be here before I know it. And I'm excited! I can't wait for Thanksgiving, and remembering all I'm thankful for, and am looking forward to going to see my family at Christmas time. This time of year just makes me happy. I was also thinking today about some things from my past, things that I have been holding onto, things that people have done to me that I have not let go. It really has been baggage, and today I wrote one of those people an email telling them that I forgive them for what they did. It was a weight off my shoulders. It feels good to get it off my shoulders. While some things I will never forget, I also know that holding onto them will just make me miserable. It's hard to believe that November is almost here, but I am looking forward to the rest of this year. It will be our first Christmas being married!
