Trust me when I say that ...Maaannn no pressure! HA!<br />Trust me when I say that this is indeed hard for me. See what a good friend I am!!

The return of comfort food cooked in the oven.<br />2. Halloween!!!<br />3. Watching my dog and kid frolic in the first snowfall.<br />4. Flannel pyjamas and sheets get to come out.<br />5. Getting to wear cozy sweaters.<br />6. Making Cub Hot chocolate with marshmallows after playing outside.<br />7. Driving through the mountains seeing the snow caps starting and the foliage of fall.<br />8. Prepping and making costumes for HALLOWEEN!<br />9. Used to mean nights by the fire, but alas we don't have a fireplace anymore.<br />10. I said Halloween right? Did I? Oh crap I did, maybe more than once.
