Leaves are falling all around...

In case you were wondering, (and even if you weren't) we have not fallen off the edge of the Earth. We have in fact, moved back to our little hometown of Othello. Boy, are we glad to be here! We originally planned to move right before Christmas, but certain things fell into place that allowed us to come home sooner than expected. I joyfully fell smack-dab into the middle of Autumn! For those of you who may not know, Fall is my favorite season-followed closely by Winter, but only because of my Birthday and Christmas. Apples, leaves, crisp air and rain! Not to mention sweaters, furry boots and scarves. I love Fall-the end. We are currently living with my parents, and will eventually make our way out on our own again. I am starting the dreadful quest for my Washington State massage license, and Brandon is working part time for his Alma Mater of jobs-KUO. In January Brandon will start classes at CBC in Tri-Cities, starting his long and dreadful quest for acceptance into the Radiology Technician program that begins this summer. Until then we will continue to eat my parents out of house and home, and enjoy the company. I will also enjoy, the lovely colors, wearing socks to bed, snuggling on the couch with the afghan-aand maybe, if I'm lucky, it will get chilly enough to turn on the fireplace. Don't worry though, we wont wear out our welcome too quickly, we have plenty of projects to help with, and have already been helping out a bit. We've raked leaves, fixed the dog run, cleaned bathrooms, made dinner and dessert, cut boards and painted a pantry. (I think I may have even loaded a dishwasher or two..!) It's my kind of life. This week we will have shelves to install, flooring to lay, more leaves to rake, and a mountain of laundry to tackle...maybe, if I really need to. I could get used to this.

Yay for Fall! It's my favorite too. Those cookies looked pretty yummy.

Lovely pictures! Isn't Othello grand? Maybe we can actually meet sometime. It would be a wonderful occasion to meet and eat some food...or even better...make some food. How are you feeling BTW? Welcome home!
