I get to take the residents through various fall traditions. I just love it. I wish that I could post pictures of them, but I can't. :( Here are some boring, non-resident, work pictures. Just know that my oldies are super awesome and the pictures I took are super adorable. I know, super.
To start off, we went camping last weekend. But that's another blog post... once I get Amanda's pictures that she took. ;) I really enjoyed the 15 hours we spent there, and I can't wait to go again! These people are pretty cool. I'm not an incredibly social person, but I really liked hanging out with this group of people. Here is a preview...
I've been baking like crazy... and I'll post that stuff later, too.
Anyway, even though it hasn't rained very much, being a Texan, I still think that the leaves look amazing. So Antho and I went to the nature center yesterday to go for a walk.
We did a bit of trespassing... WE DO DANGEROUS THINGS BECAUSE WE ARE DANGEROUS PEOPLE. Just kidding. I just wanted a picture. Thank goodness I didn't get poison ivy.
We stopped to get pumpkins for Lindsey and Brendan's birthday party today... HUGE! I lost ten pounds carrying it to the car.
(I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!)
I got home to my mail box and found this:
It's official!!!!!! I have a degree!!!!! I actually did it!!!! I was so scared that some fluke would keep me from graduating. But no- it is October, and I have official looking proof that I did indeed graduate in August!!YAHOO.
In other news, I've been baking, playing WoW with Anthony...
... watching Community, which is a hilarious show. WATCH THIS. (I only started watching it a week ago, and then Suzy posted a video a few days ago... it was a sign. I was meant to watch it. Ha.)
... and enjoying life in any way I can. My family is coming to Springfield for Thanksgiving, and I cannot wait. I'm surrounded by people I love, and everything is beautiful this time of year. This was extremely picture heavy, so I'm sorry that I just dumped a month's worth of stuff into one post. Thanks for reading!
Cheers!

Autumn in the Ozarks is beautiful! I love this time of year for so many reasons; it gets cooler, drier, and more colorful. There is a feeling in the air that you just don't get in the west (Cali has two seasons, floods and fires).
I wish you could share the pictures of your seniors but I understand that you can't. I'm glad you are able to help them celebrate the beauty and fun of fall.
Love the pictures you did share.

DIPLOMA!!! I am glad you are having a wonderful fall. We are just now feeling it begin and I am enjoying making soup, experimenting with making pumpkin spice lattes, and am contemplating baking a grape pie. (They were giving away grapes for free at the farmer's market). What on earth were those lovely pie/tarts you made?
I bet field trips with the residents make work so fun! I bet they had a blast!
I really loved seeing all of your nature photos on IG! I can sympathize with TX not getting fall soon enough! I'm so ready for the leaves to change. At least it's been in the 70s here lately.
