Falling Into Fall

"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall." -F. Scott Fitzgerald

Falling Into Fall
Sarah Carstensen

Fall is finally in the air! Well this is West Texas, so who knows what the weather will be like next week. Anyway, it is September and that makes it officially time to start enjoying everything fall has to offer.

The season of fall is my favorite season. To me, every aspect is beautiful. The colors of all the leaves changing and falling delicately on the lawns and driveways, only to be raked up in a large pile on the front lawn, just moments later.

The colors of harvest mix so well together. The talk of farmers getting their crops ready for harvest only stirs my heart with love for the area I have grown up in. The sight of tractors in the field fill my heart with thankfulness.

The crisp morning air fills my lungs with joy and puts an extra touch of rosiness on everyone’s cheeks. I am able to wipe the summer dust off my riding boots and pull out all my cute sweaters. I mean a huge perk about fall weather is to cute clothes we get to wear! Am I right? Scarfs, headband warmers and matching gloves you name it, I have it pulled out and ready to go!

The smell of pumpkin everything is in the air. Pumpkin spice cake, pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin spice Scentsy, etc. Hot chocolate gets thrown into the mix, along with blankets and fires on a brisk evening.

With all this time of changing out Patriotic/summer decor to fall decor, I am reminded of my Savior’s talent in artwork. His ability to paint a West Texas fall sunset never ceases to amaze me. The colors are picked so precisely designed for a perfect painting.

In this season of Thanksgiving, I am thankful for many, many things; but one thing is for certain. I am thankful for my King. The King of all Kings. The King who has blessed me daily, through the sights of fall and His artistic ability. Remember that in this season of fall. Look for the little details that our Father has made for us. Find joy in His artwork.

Happy Fall y’all!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.
