SEPTEMBER 1

I am overly excited about it finally being September. August was filled with excitement over my birthday, and every month previous had been leading up to that date. 

Now. I feel like I can breathe. No lingering 'doom day'. No more anticipation, or expectations. Just, breathing.

September brings hope that Fall is near (do you say Fall, or Autumn) and that this heat will soon (God willing) be over! This summer really stuck it to me and I can't wait to finally enjoy a nice warm cup of Pumpkin Spice Latte on a cool and crisp morning. 

I know alot of my bloggy friends make to-do lists on the first day of the month, and I love me a good to-do list. So, I thought I'd give it a go... you know, with the new season (of life, and of weather. lol)
