October was realizing that I can't do it all. Even if I try. October was finally welcoming cold weather, and the scent of cinnamon spice in the air. October was fun and full and chaotic, and I am so grateful.
I'm grateful for a full life. I'm grateful for wonderful friends and neighbors that made Halloween so fun. I'm grateful for a Hubbs that takes his football so seriously, and a Bulldog team that loves us as much as we love them. I'm grateful for my tailgating crew who makes every game a party, and every party a family get together. They say November is the month of gratitude, but I say it's October too. Something about fall, just brings out the best of us.
