There is something about the first of every month, don’t you think? Or am I alone in that I get a touch giddy when I get to flip the calendar page? Especially when I’m flipping aforementioned calendar to the month of September.
September has long been a favorite of mine. Though no month could ever oust my October. September, though, still garners my favor.
Especially this September.
Why?
September ushers in our vacation season. And this year’s vacation season is a doozie; we’ve got Disney trips coming up that practically piggyback one another! {More on those soon}.
As if that weren’t enough…we have a sweet sixteen to celebrate in the very near future. {More on that soon, too}.
September is also anniversary month for my lovie and I.
AND it’s the month when I can start opening the windows again after a too-long, too-hot desert summer. Don’t get me wrong, we’re not exactly pulling out the winter coats just yet. But there’s definitely a change in the air–the tease of crisp mornings and brisk nights to come. I can’t help but look at the hot tub through eager eyes.
Pumpkin bread and chili and baked ziti and iced chai cookies: these will have to wait. One more flip of the calendar page, though, and these, too, will be mine. All mine.
I wouldn’t dream of rushing September though.
Come on in. Stay awhile.
