Looking back at the fall bucket list, it seems like I accomplished almost nothing “festive” for fall. None of the classic fall activites happened, except for one: I hosted Thanksgiving! It was my first time doing the entire meal and I had a blast! My guests were champs for letting me experiment a little, but it all turned out pretty well. 

But the important things did happen: I traveled a TON, my husband came back from deployment (!!!), we moved into a new home, hosted some family, and threw a Thanksgiving dinner for friends here in Oklahoma.

Exploring Philadelphia

Travel highlights included Philadelphia, New York City, and San Francisco (more on that soon!). In the month of October alone I spent time in 10 US states – that’s some kind of record for me! 

This winter, I’m looking forward to creating some new routines. I’m still getting used to the constant upheaval that military life seems to always bring – after all, the new rhythms we’re creating now will only last about 6 months, but that’s pretty good for the moment! 

Snow days are the best days!
