5 Reasons Why I Am Ready For Fall

If you don't think of fall when you think of these things, then you're crazy!

5 Reasons Why I Am Ready For Fall
http://www.thewallpapers.org

During the 365-day year, there are four seasons and one is my all time favorite. It's a time where the air is crisp, the food is great and family gets together. Sports become your lifeline and everything is cozy. Fall is right around the corner and here are five things I am looking forward to during the season of fall.

1. The Holidays

From dressing up as a child to our adult years, Halloween will always be one of the best parts of the fall. Cool nights walking around with family to enjoying the sights of goblins and superheroes sneaking more than one treat from the "goodie" bowls left outside the dim doorways in your neighborhood. Spooky nights shifting to sentimental dinners, Thanksgiving lays around the corner. Fall consist of tasty foods and warm hearts. Gathering around the table with loved ones only makes this time of the year even more special.

2. Football

Whether you are a fan of sports or not, football plays major role into the fall season. People look forward to tailgating and body paint. Chants roar through the local sports bar and stadiums cheering for their favorite high school and college teams while booing their competition echoes with bad calls from the shady refs.

3. The Clothing

Man or woman, I think everyone enjoys the fact that the weather is cool enough for a light jacket and shorts to the thick sweaters and jeans. This time of the year is all about dressing for warmth and also for style. Girls can wear a ton of layers and show off the newest trends while guys can look frat-tastic in their North Face Vest and their spiffy Sperrys.

4. The Food

Two ingredients: pumpkin and pecans. These two things can change the world when fall strolls around. Starbucks brings out their famous "pumpkin spice latte" while other places serve pumpkin pies and anything assorted with pumpkins... Yum! Don't even get me started with Thanksgiving -- sausage balls, mash potatoes, turkey and ham. (Currently drooling.)

5. Family

When I think of fall, I instantly associate it with love. It's the time of the year where feeling thankful and have the opportunity to be surrounded by loved ones. The air is crisp and our hearts are overflowing with all sorts of emotions. Our mindsets shift from being selfish to thinking about others. A time where you want to be snuggled up in the living room with others enjoying hot chocolate by the fire watching Hallmark movies. Ugh, I just love it.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
