September arrives....

It  is officially September! The summer is done. I am grateful we have had such a fun and exciting eventful summer. Recapping it we spent 7 wonderful days on Pawley's Island, introducing Trenton and Haleigh to the joy that the ocean and salty breezes. The kids continue to remember all the fun details. Chasing crabs in the surf, floating and in Haleigh's case "running" through the lazy river, dinner with Mermaids and walking on the beach with flashlights on the last night.

Trenton and I took off with Dory, Bailey and Unky Alex to celebrate Poppy's 70th birthday. We walked our piggies raw. Saw real rocketships, the biggest ball pit known to man, stayed up too late, and managed to get some educational digs in while we toured the museums and monuments.

David and I have taken several afternoon drives and eaten at some of the hidden gem restuarants in West Virginia. Camera in hand, I shot the New River Gorge Bridge. Captured my soulmate gazing at the beauty of the hills and we found a renewed appreciation for taking just a few stolen moments for each other.



We celebrated our 21st anniversary, looking forward to many more. It seems time has flown by. The joy, trials and experiences that we have shared in the last 21 have honestly made us even more closer. Granndbabies to be spoiled, grown children to pray reverently for, and the knowing that nobody could have endured it all with either of us. God sent us to each other. Complementing each other. Lifting each other up and holding each other's hand as yet another trial headed our way.

September means birthdays around here, remember? Alex, Chelsea, Drew, David, and Trenton. It is our cake month! It also means the weather finally cools down, the night air seeps through the open window at night and evening walks get a little longer (as long as the gimpy foot allows), and the days get shorter. Bring on the cool weather, leaves changing to bold orange, red and yellows, sweaters, blazzing fire pits,hot coffee and pumpkin everything!  My favorite season is finally here!
