I love the fall colors and the cooler weather, it signals that my favorite season of the year is coming, WINTER!! Time for snow and turtlenecks and sweaters and I know I am jumping ahead a little bit but the cold in the night air when I am going to work and in the morning when I get off of work has the smell of winter.

It is very strange working while everyone else is sleeping. While I am in the Fab I don't really notice it because of all the fluorescent lighting and the fact that there aren't any windows, but it is very different when I leave for break and the streets are abandoned and it is so dark outside. It has been an interesting adjustment to make. I am enjoying my new shift, everyone has been very welcoming and I am having fun learning new things and having more responsibilities.

Colton is taking basketball at school and he has not really been very athletic in his life, besides wrestling, so it is a challenge for him, I offered to practice with him, I love basketball.

Some of my favorite memories are of my family having Bar-b-ques every summer and playing b-ball in the driveway. I miss that. We need to have a family reunion that is all bar-b-ques and basketball and some middle of the street football. Oh and we can't forget a friendly game of Mario-Kart 64. We also need to have a snowball fight where I start crying because my "sock" gloves aren't keeping my poor little hands warm enough so I have to go in and run my hands under hot water every 10 min, then Rochelle can call me a big baby and write "Brit stinks" on a wall somewhere, and then we can roast some marshmallows and gummy bears and sit so close to the fire that someones shoes start to melt, while we all laugh at the same old stories that we tell every time we all get together, jeez I miss my family. I wish we weren't all spread out so much and so busy in our own lives that the only time we all see each other is at a funeral. I love and miss you all!!!
