Fall'ing Away From Summer...

lately i'm yearning for fall.  seriously.  it's not because i'm not loving the summer- i am!  the weather is gorgeous ... we've been spending a lot of time outside, we're all tan (amazing!), we're enjoying afternoons at the park, days at the zoo... the list goes on & on.

and yet... there's just something about fall.  the crispness in the air.  the crunchy yellow & orange leaves.   pumpkin spice candles.  the cool evenings around a fire pit.  hayrack rides with hot chocolate & peppermint schnapps.  and my most favorite- back to school!

i fully blame target for this fall yearning.  you see, a couple weeks ago i was looking for lawn chairs for our camping trip this past weekend & as we made our way to the back of the store- to the seasonal section.  imagine my surprise when i saw school supplies taking over the summer seasonal section!  i love, love, love school supplies.  seriously, LOVE.  fresh paper, new pens, new day planner.  oh my gosh.  i got my new planner last week & it's already full of color & full of plans!

on another note, i'm back & forth on the decision to go back to school to get an education degree.  clearly, i would love the idea of going back to school every year for the rest of my life- i'd get to buy school supplies forever! how awesome would that be?!

I'll take the school supplies without the "school" anyday ;-)

My Mom and I were at Babies R Us on Saturday and they had school supplies out and I was telling her how I can't wait to buy school supplies for Joslyn. I remember how excited I got when we went shopping for mine. I would run home and organize my pencil case and binders :-)

That is so funny! I hated buying school supplies! But I did notice them today at the grocery store.

I cannot wait for my first fall in three years!!! I am so super excited I can barely stand the wait.

And now fall is all I can think about. I just got this super comfy, cute boyfriend style shirt from Gap.com and I'm LONGING to wear it. Fall can seriously not come soon enough.

I'm a stationary/supply whore! I could spend HOURS at Office Depot/Max and just oogle the pens and post-its... weird, I know :p If you have the time, I say GO FOR IT! Go back to school! I wish I had the time to do it!
