October is my absolute favorite month. Autumn is my absolute favorite season and alas October is Autumn to me. I decided to make an 'i heart October' list to bring in this wonderful month...enjoy.
-The humidity drops and is sometimes almost non-existent. This really only applies when I live in NC cause there seems to almost always be humidity in FL and hardly ever here, but growing up October brought great relief and the ability to straighten my hair with ease.
-Fall clothes are the best. I love to layer and my favorite is wearing jeans and a short sleeved shirt with flip flops and being so comfortable. Then throwing on a comfy sweater in the evening.
-The smell of clean, crisp air.
-The leaves changing color. The middle of October in the NC mountains is heavenly. I've never lived in the mountains (ok, well I do now but I meant in NC) but I remember lots of Fall time drives there as a kid. Or maybe I just made them up in my head, either way, it's the best. I'm seriously trying to plan for us to make it to NC in October during our first trip back to the States so Stan and I can have a weekend getaway in the mountains. I quite possibly might schedule the whole 6 months just around that. Grommy and Poppy, go ahead and mark your calendars now to watch the boys. Thanks.
-Stan and I met in October 10 years ago and started dating in October 9 years ago. Is is possible that Stan and I have been a couple that long!?!? I guess so since we started dating when I was 20...wow. I really wanted to get married in October but my love of the month wasn't worth putting the wedding off 7 more months.
-The State Fair. I love the crowds. I love the rides. I love the exhibits (even the animal ones believe it or not). Most of all I love the FOOD! Another great reason to make sure October 2011 is spent in NC.
There are so many more reasons but I think that is enough for now.
Happy October!
