Is it seriously November already? I feel like we just moved back from Korea. We have been home almost 5 months already!! Now here we are... entering another holiday season. I love the holidays. I love the smells, the shopping, the weather, the food, the closeness you feel, and how everyone around you gets into "the spirit!" This time of year is by far my favorite.
After being in Korea for the past TWO holiday seasons I have to admit I am over the moon being back in the states. There are so many traditions that you take for granted that we didn't get to do while overseas. Besides not being with family.... Looking at Christmas lights was something I truly missed not being able to show Logan. Also going to a pumpkin patch, getting pictures taken with the REAL mall Santa, Christmas shopping everywhere, Christmas music in every building/on every radio station... Oh how I missed you AMERICA!!!
Since being back I have made a list of a million things I want to take the kiddos to (Mainly Logan since Kora is still too little). The pumpkin patch was one of them so we drove the hour and a half just for some Fall fun! It was such an amazing adventure. The company was great too. Our neighbors are a huge blessing that I am VERY thankful for! Kora was wonderful even though it was extremely HOT and boring for her! Logan had a blast feeding goats, going on a hayride, picking wild flowers, looking at lots of pumpkins, and going through the Texas shaped corn maze. It was so much fun spending time as a family. This will be a new tradition every year while we are still stationed in Texas.
Now, on to carving pumpkins with the fam! Happy Fall Y'all!

Thankful for this crazy life.
Trying to understand my place in this life. Knowing it's my temporary home makes me rethink the way I have treated some people. I try to have a heart of gold, but at the same time I have an inner struggle of peace. I am determined to change the world. Cupcakes with beer.... the struggle is real.
