Re: Things you're looking forward to this fall...other than your LO's of course

  • Pretty much everything you all said.  But since we are going to training practice later this week for our fav NFL team I am borderline obsessed with football starting. We are season ticket holders and I'm so pumped with the schedule this year I shouldn't (fingers crossed with recovery) miss any games this year!  


  • Loading the player...
  • Sooo ready! I love fall so much. 
    Cooler weather
    Oversized sweaters
    Boots
    Pumpkin spice lattes
    Bonfires
    Pumpkin patches
    Christmas shopping
    Burning leaves
    Fall flowers.
    PIE.
  • My DH's birthday!
    We are going to a Broadway play of his favorite book. Stephen King's Misery is previewing starring Bruce Willis and we have tickets for the day before DH's birthday. My folks are still gonna be in town to watch the LO.

  • I live in SoCal so there won't be too many visible Autumn changes. But what I'm looking forward to is:

    • seeing my baby, of course
    • maternity leave (YESSSSSSSS!!)
    • spending more time with family and friends
    • the cooler weather - it's been 90-100 degrees here for the last 3 or 4 weeks
    • cleaning like I a mad person
    • beginning to save for a house (eeeek!)

  • Everything y'all said plus I'm looking forward to being able to walk outside without breaking into a sweat. August, you suck. Come on, October!
  • Everyone has definitely named all of my favorites too. I love fall and holidays!

    I think this year I'll really be looking forward to cooler weather even more. The South Carolina summers are HOT!
  • This thread is making me so wistful.  8-> I love the holiday season, but for fall I am looking forward to:

    -Cooler weather!
    -Halloween
    -leaves changing (the view from my office is AMAZING in fall)
    -all things pumpkin spice
    -Boots and oversized sweaters
    -crisp air (it's so humid and muggy right now)
    -DH's birthday
    -BFF's wedding
    -Maternity leave
    -Did I mention cooler weather? 
  • Yes to everything you ladies listed, can't do much typing today because I'm sprained my wrist pretty badly, but the only thing I'd add but I won't get to do this year is Wineries! 
    Also walks because anytime between 8 am and 10 pm it's too miserable to walk outside here. 

    @Mamaowl15 I'm all about the poncho wraps and scarves!
  • @lord7 @mariahobrien I have a Yoda costume picture somewhere, but here is my boston/rat mix as an elf. He's too fat to fit int he costume now, but he was pretty cute then. 
  • Fall is my favorite time of year! My favorite leather boots with a soft pair of jeans and sweater. Crisp nights and down comforters. Crunching through leaves on a run. Hiking with the dogs. Love it!
  • Ohh I forgot! Castle is coming back!
  • Any Once Upon a Time fans? I'm sorry but I just love that show, even though the writing is kind of so so these days.

    Christmas which is technically winter but it's my favorite holiday. Halloween our new baby and thanksgiving plus cold weather and hopefully some rain for california cause we need it, and of course boots and fall clothes. I was looking at the ornament in the rafters and thought about our first christmas with our first baby.

  • @sarahann1104 I think we just became best friends... GREYS ANATOMY! So sad about Derrick, but excited to see what the new season holds!!
  • I'm looking forward to starting the healing process and getting back to myself. Pregnancy has been the most terrifying experience of my life. I'm also looking forward to the holidays so our families can meet the baby.
  • Everything fall. Seriously, why can't it just be fall year round?

    Just a few of the highlights for me..

    Trips to the Apple Orchard/Pumpkin Patch with fresh baked Apple Cider Donuts (droool)

    Fall clothes & boots

    Bonfires

    Halloween

    The leaves

    Crisp cool air

    The smell of pumpkin spice everything

    Gahhh! I can't wait!
  • My parents are in the middle of a nasty divorce so I'm really not looking forward to the holidays this year trying to figure out who is going where and whose feelings will get hurt... It's super stressful when I'm the only one out of family (including his side of family) that will still speak with my dad... Normally I adore fall and everything it involves (smells, holidays, Christmas shopping, candles, long walks, taking our boat out wrapped in blankets, bon fires). It's going to be so much fun for all these first with our little girl this year!!!

    Top three things though:

    My husbands birthday
    Our anniversary (we get a free cake!!!)
    THE WALKING DEAD!!!

  • Moving to Virginia and skipping out on another winter in NNY. :)

    Other than that...leaves changing, snuggling with my loves, boots, etc.
  • Things I am excited about: 

    Going outside without instantly feeling sticky.
    Crisp air that doesn't feel thick and gross. Can you tell I'm tired of Midwest humidity?
    Dressing up our newborn baby girl in a super cute Halloween outfit and taking all the pictures!
    Seeing my dogs meet the baby for the first time!
    Going to mommy baby yoga classes as soon as I feel up to it. 
    Fall television - yes to Gray's Anatomy! I just can't give up. 
    Backyard fire pit. 
    Being able to drink wine again.
    Thanksgiving with family. 
    Hot apple cider. 
    Those rare days when the a/c and furnace are off and the windows are open. 
    Perhaps wistful FTM sentiment, but late-night feedings/cuddles with just me and baby girl.
