Fill-in-the-Blank Friday

As I mentioned on Tuesday, I am trying to blog more. Even if it's just something small. I've been reading my friend Elyse's blog, and noticed that she has been doing a weekly fill-in-the-blank post where she answers questions. Reading those posts have helped me get to know her better and find more things that we have in common. I guess the original idea comes from Lauren at the little things we do blog. She posts new fill-in-the-blank questions each week for you to answer. If you'd like to play along, all you have to do is follow her blog, and then answer the questions each Friday (or whenever you want, really--its your blog). So, here goes!

1.   Nothing says fall like      crisp mornings, crunchy leaves, and that distinct "fall" smell that is in the evening air.

2.   My favorite autumnal tradition is   going to college football games with my husband and family. Since I started my freshman year at BYU, my Dad has had season tickets to the football games. So I know every home football weekend, I'll get to see one (or more!) of my family members. And of course I love going with Jonathan too!

3.  My favorite fall treat is   difficult to say. There are so many wonderfully delicious fall foods. Currently, I am loving caramel apples .

4. Fall makes me think of    school and family    because   basically since I can remember, fall has meant the start of a new school year. This fall may be my last school year ever (we'll see...), though. And of course, the things that get me through the semester are weekends and holidays spent with my family.

5.  Autumn free form word association, go!    red and orange, falling leaves, frosty grass, scarves, pumpkin.

6.  My go-to outfit in the fall is     jeans, a comfy shirt, a cardigan, and a scarf.

7.  My favorite fall holiday is (Halloween or Thanksgiving)    Thanksgiving. I always have big plans for Halloween in my head, but never follow through on them. But there's nothing better than the lots of family, delicious food, college football, browsing ads, and napping that comes with Thanksgiving. Oh, and the fact that the next day you get to decorate for Christmas and listen to Christmas music (unless you can't wait and start in October...which I've been known to do).

There! That was fun, right? I thought so. How would you have answered some of these? Especially the fall treat one. I'm always on the lookout for a good treat. :) 

Jonathan is off on a business trip to Seattle, but will be back late tonight. We're so silly. He won't even have been gone 48 hours when he gets home, but I still miss him terribly. There's just something about being in a different city from the person you love that makes you miss them so much, even if it's for a short time! Must be the distance. We are both independent and can get along fine when we have to be apart. We just don't like it. 

Luckily my Mom decided to come for a visit this weekend! We went to dinner at the India Palace last night with my brother Garrett, and then to Yogurtland for dessert. And then we watched some Doctor Who and Psych! And hopefully she will help me out with some projects around the house today. I sure do love my Mom! She is the best. 

Happy Friday everyone!
