I thought that I would kick it old school and throw in some college photos for this post (because we are just so darn cute). As I create my Autumn Bucket List, I cannot help but remember all my past falls. The memories growing up or cider, pumpkins, and homemade Halloween costumes. Then the college years of throwing leaves, fall trips (fall break was a wonderful invention), carving pumpkins, and making cookies. Each year the memories of falls before encourage and inspire my new fall lists! The traditions have to be maintained and the adventures have to continue.
Let me tell you about all these people. This afternoon that continues to inspire my Autumn bucket lists each year. These are the girls of Delta Mu. A sorority we made up because 10 of us lived in this giant farm house just off of campus. We did everything together – vacations, studying, classes (we all practically had the same major), eating, sleeping, living, shopping, and adventuring.
That is the beautiful community of college. Just the shear amount of time that you have to be with people – I mean, you are always with people. Before we lived here, we lived on a hall filled with girls. The falls I spent with these ladies will always be a part of my future falls, just as my childhood memories are woven so deep into my traditions.
1. Favorite fall fashion/clothing item?
I agree. I am a chai all year long girl!
I know!! I totally need to try that .
Mmm, apple butter and an apple picking adventure? That sounds like a blog post (or two!) for sure. 🙂 I'm excited to see what you get done this fall! 🙂
YES! I would love to make it into two posts!
Funny story… The Hubs used to be a student pastor and we had a pumpkin carving contest for Halloween… but everyone had to dress up. He chose to be Scooby Doo… in a giant Scooby costume. A girl came for the first time that night and later after she and her brother became some of our closest kids she told us that she thought we were so weird! Ha!
Oh my heart! That makes me miss everyone and feel super nostalgic! Siloam has the most beautiful autumn season <3 I've crossed off my 1st fall bucket list:: My gluten-free pumpkin bars 🙂 http://www.mitchaeljourney.com/2014/09/gluten-free-pumpkin-bars.html Thanks for sharing this sweet memories!
I can't wait! I hope you find somewhere!
Learning to can sounds like such a great idea! I'm most excited about enjoying all of my favorite fall squash dishes. There's something special about eating squash in the fall. 🙂 I hope you'll share your canning adventures!
LOve that story! I feel like the best friendships start over weird vibes!
I know! I miss everyone so much! It is hard being so far away from the community that I had in college!
