Y’all, it’s finally OCTOBER! If you’ve been around here for a while then you’ll know that this is one of my favorite months. It’s my personal “new year” and everything usually starts to feel like it’s being brought back into balance. The cooler weather starts to set in and the leaves start changing colors. Creators start releasing costume and makeup ideas, and Halloween decor goes up in our house. There’s also the “31 Night of Halloween” special that Freeform airs which my daughter and I always enjoy. There’s pretty much something for everyone to watch, and it’s all day - everyday for the whole month! Eeeks! So, I’ve officially deemed it, “Spooky Season” in our household.

If you didn't know already, October is my birthday month! And to be honest, when I entered into my thirties I actually felt really sad at the thought of getting older. Seriously, if someone would have handed me a pause button back then I would have definitely used that sucker. But this year feels really different. I’m not sure if it’s acceptance or gratitude, but I’m actually looking forward to celebrating this year. This may or may not have something to do with getting that whole week off from work too? But mine isn’t the only birthday celebrated this month either. We actually have a lot of family and friends that are October babies as well. So, I’m in pretty good company. And it always seems like one continuous celebration around here.
In other news, as of this week, Emery has officially made the move from gymnastics to tumbling. After her first practice, she said she felt sore but she was beaming the whole time! “I’m so ready for next week,” she told me as we walked out of the gym. I really think she's going to enjoy this change. This weekend we are actually making our way down to Houston to visit relatives. Then we have two weddings later this month. I can't wait! And something else for me to look forward to is getting a good chunk of time off over the next few months. This will be the only year that this happens but I’m super thankful for it. Clearly, God is answering some prayers. Here’s hoping I get to fit in a good amount of writing during that time too. Anyway, I hope this post finds y’all well. And I hope October brings you a reprieve from all of the crazy going on right now. 👻
