1. My birthday
As soon as my birthday comes around, it's time for fall! With September 21st being the first day of fall, my birthday has always been a great way to ring in the new season. I've always loved my birthday. Thanks to the best friends and family, it's always the happiest day of the year. This year was no exception :)

2. Football games
Don't be fooled, everyone knows I'm not much of a sports fan myself...but there's just something about football season! Chilly nights, school spirit, hot chocolate, the fight song and of course a little high school dance team nostalgia-- some of my all time favorite memories.

3. Pumpkin
"Everything pumpkin" has been my motto this fall. The other day I went to the store to pick up one thing, and ended up spending $37.63--all on pumpkin treat ingredients. Whoops :) So far, I've made pumpkin chocolate chip bread, pumpkin snickerdoodles, pumpkin donut holes, a pumpkin spice bundt cake (well, 3 if I'm being honest...), and pumpkin chocolate chip waffles! Always something to look forward to this time of year.
4. Fall colors
Gotta love fall colors! Mustard yellow, sage green, burnt orange, plaid flannels--nothin' better. Although it's always depressing for me to put away the sandals, there's something about getting warm and cozy in a sweatshirt that makes it a decent trade. But of course, the best fall colors are those changing leaves! It's hard to beat the Alpine Loop, but Logan is sure holding its own :)
5. Corn mazes, hayrides and pumpkin patches
This girl loves to be festive. No matter the occasion, it is absolutely necessary to go all-out. You better believe I'm dragging Ryan to every "fall festivity" in town. Time to whip out the fall crafts and halloween decorations and enjoy the season! If cold weather is coming, might as well embrace it with apple cider, yummy soup, and of course all things pumpkin :)
Happy fall!
