ah summer, how I'll miss thee.

We went to Bear Lake over the weekend and it was autumn up there.  I thought it was because we were farther up in the mountains, but no.  It is fall here in Logan too.  I love the crisp mornings and to feel the sun filtering through a cool breeze.  I love jacket weather!  I love thinking about Halloween and deciding what to dress up as (Yes, I AM an adult that still dresses up).  I love pumpkin pie and peach dessert and hot cider.  I love to see the leaves changing colors and putting an extra blanket on the bed. But here's the thing...

Winter always comes next. Slush, and wet pant hems, and frozen ears, and smog.  The only time during the winter I am warm is in bed or in the shower.  And in Logan  it. lasts. six. months. GUH!

But lets not think about that right now.  Lets think about crunchy leaves and candy corns and beautiful shelves of newly canned peaches and crocheting new hats and football and hoodies.  mmm.

my family rocks

Silly me!  I threw my back out last week.  Man oh man, has my family stepped up.  I called my mom at 6:30 and she drove an hour to come to my rescue.  She took care of the baby all day and found me a chiropractor. My brother-in-law and husband fended for themselves for a couple days till I was back in the game.  For two days, I felt GREAT!  I even went camping.  It was not to last.  Last night my back slipped out again.  It was so bad I think it was making me physically ill.  Either that or I just happened to get food poisoning at the same time (Rotten luck!)  At 7:30 this morning when the baby started crying, I dropped a bottle in his crib and went back to bed.  I sent one text and within 10 minutes, my cousins were feeding and changing the baby and my hubs was pulling me off the bathroom floor and taking me to the chiropractor. 

I feel much better now, but plan on taking it a little easier this time.  Thanks family!  Its so great to have someone to call when I fall apart.
