I lovvvvvve November. Always have!
Which is why it's so, so fabulous to me that we have ended up with many great memories in November.
Next week, it will be 13 years since Matt and I met. Thirteen years before we met, I was 4 years old! Matt has now been the best thing in my life for most of what I remember of life. (Matt is also the one who taught me that "most" just means "over half," and not "almost all." So, it sounds weird to me, but I'm going with it. Most of my life! :-))
Thirteen years from now.... Seth will be in college! AHHHHH!!!
Suddenly, I wish it felt like much, much longer ago that Matt and I met in that dorm lobby. Maybe Seth will be meeting his future bride in his dorm lobby in 13 years—November 2024. (She better be the best thing ever. :-))
In a few weeks, Maren will be 1! How is it possible? What a perfect Thanksgiving that will be.
And two days after that, Matt and I will have been married for 9 years. Which almost feels like 10. Which means that when we get to 10, I'll be surprised it's only our 10th anniversary because I'll have been thinking all year that we've been married for a decade. ;-)
November is also when we found out we really were going to have Seth, and when we saw him for the first time—a little pole with a beautifully beating heart. One of the best memories of our life. So, even though he had to be born in yucky Summer (boo! ;-)), our first memories of him are also shrouded in the feel of November....
I love the crispness in the air. I love the smell. I love the feel of November.... It truly is a time of Thanks.

I feel the same way about November - I LOVE it! Thinking about it, though, I don't think I've had that many cool things happen to me in November. Oh well. Still a fantastic month. :)
i love reading your blog. you write like you talk...and i hear your voice as i read. does that make sense? haha! i also like november. all of fall, really. i remember when choosing our wedding date- i wanted november more than october because november is a prettier sounding word and it looked nicer in print. ha! (ultimately, it was too close to "the holidays" and october won). i like hearing about the little details of your life- such as why you love november. makes me smile. thanks for sharing. =)
