FALL FUN!!

So I started this post yesterday but it was such a long day I didn't get a chance to post it till today...

            Fall is my favorite season of the year! I love the colors, the weather, and just the smell of autumn! These past few days have been the perfect fall days! We had a long, busy weekend but it was so much fun. Here are some highlights:

FRIDAY:

• A Wonderful 3 hour Gospel Choir Rehearsal.

 SATURDAY:

•  Shopping for an interview outfit for my mom. Watching her get a brand new designer suite set and walking in heals.

• Noticing after a full afternoon of shopping that Ozzie had left the house with 2 different pairs of shoes on. For those who know my husband know that, that is completely out of character for him. He blamed it on daddy brain. ( Is that a thing? I don't know ) So funny!!

• Getting Ellyana's dedication outfit, then going to dinner at Via Napoli (yummy!)

SUNDAY:

• A wonderful worship service with guest speaker, Captain Laro who spoke on Nehemiah and gave us a great example on how to pray! Very interesting an convicting. Praying that I will be successful! Whatever that looks like to the Lord!

• Lunch with Captains Laro, Majors Riley, Madeline, and the kids :) We went to talk about training; What our feelings are towards it, what their feelings are towards it and where we go from here. It was a good time. The Laros have a wonderful philosophy on how they want to approach their job. It was very refreshing to have people who are willing to talk to us, pray with us, and work with us on our "calling" to go to training, rather the just try to push us in as fast as possible. Its alittle scary because we've known for a long time that we would be going to training one day, but now its real. So..that left us with alot to think/pray about ( for those who aren't Salvationist, I will explain more about what I mean about going to training another time)

• Gospel choir concert with the West Chester dance group, ARC, and West Philly Corps. It was an AWESOME time of worship. It was so great to perform for a group of people who join in and worship with us, so its not like we are performing for an audience, but we are all worshiping together. It was a very blessed time!

MONDAY:

This is the only day that I have some pictures of.

• Linvilla Orchards with our friends! (some of us took off work for this trip:) )

• Ellyana's first hayride. It was the perfect weather for it!

After we left I realized we never did get a pumpkin..oops. BUT we did get apples, and my new favorite thing; Apple Cider Doughnuts (soo good!)

Afterwards we all got together with those who couldn't make it on our day trip for dinner at Pei Wei. Where Ellyana held her bottle for the first time.. I couldn't believe it! She is going to be my little independent girl!

I am so grateful to God that I have such a wonderful family, and friends who make beautiful fall days all the more beautiful!!
