I am so thankful for this awesome Autumn weather!  I love all the coulors, and wrapping scarfs around your neck, and jackets, and mittens... I love it!  The shock of the cold, and then the warm comfort of your house or car! lol!   It is great!  The only thing that would make it greater is if dad finished his yurt he is making.... so I could sleep out there! haha!  Wouldn't that be so fun! Sleeping in a tent/house?????!!!!???? I want to move in it when it is done, just for a month or two!  :)  Have a little heater out there, me and my puppy... talk about AWESOME! (that is just the skeleton fyi)

Any ways..... weird quirks aside.....  I lOVE FALL!  Not all the leaves have turned yet.. but they are starting to!  I wish I had my camera right now.. but it is with my mom, or I would take pix and post them too!  :)  (for all you Utahins who don't know what autumn looks like!.. haha.. sorry no offense there, I just like teasing you! lol!  But you guys do beat us in snow....so now we're square.  lol!)  The Fall just makes me feel so... I don't know, like fresh, and new.  I know that that is what spring is supposed to feel like, but spring here is so sticky!  Haha.... But Fall the air is crisp, the cold air in your lungs as your running....It just burns!  Burns happiness, and freshness all the way.  I love it!  And so many different trees!  Yous tart seeing the reds in the maples, and the browns of the oaks, the yellow of black walnuts....

The only thing about winter coming is that it is too cold to go barefoot.  *hurmpf*  and the grass is all dewy in the night..... but it smells so good!  mmmmmmmhhhh!

Last night though was kinda weird.. well let me start from the beginning..... Va is kinda funny like this, one day you will be wearing a scarf, mittens, sweaters, and your breath shows at 50 degrees, and then the next day you will un-wrap yourself from all that fluff, and wear shorts, and a t-shirt at 75 degrees..... I don't get it.... But any ways, that was yesterday, it was nice and warm.  And then we hear it was going to rain, the rain always makes it cool down this time of year. (sure enough, cause I'm back in the sweaters!)  But I went outside to let Huck out just as the cold front was coming in.... it was about 3:00am, and dark....   the trees were throwing leaves, and making alot of noise, andI could see mist in the field... there were no saccades screeching, no crickets neeker-breeking....it was quiet other then the wind and the leaves....  And of course Huck is unaware to the whole situation, and how I'm out there shivering in the cold front, with my pj's on.....  and he takes his time sniffign around, and trying to get me as close to the wild wood as possible.......the grass was dry too, which was so weird.  Normally when a storm is coming it gets really wet feeling, but this time the ground was warm and dry, where as the air around me was  freezing!  First I thought it was pretty cool.  Then I started thinking of like Hates, and the burning underworld, and how that would make a cool story, like the underworld breaks upon on a strormy night and steals so innocent away! haha!... needless to say I dragged my dog back inside... lol!

But yeah sorry long story...But now you have a feeling for Va weather at this time of year haha!.. not that most of you care.. but yeah.

But aside from my old man talk about weather.......

Yesterday was dad's 46th BIRTHDAY!  Yay!  he is the most wonderous person I know!  Seriously, I would like to devote a paragraph to him this blog, cause I love him so much!  First off, here are some of my favorites things about him:
He is SOOO Patient!
He shares his love in a quiet, yet you-can't-miss-it way...that just makes you love him more!
He always takes time for me and my siblings, to answer questions, to talk to work ect.
He, teaches quietly, he doesn't MAKE you see, he trys to show you
he is so polite to me and treats me with respect
He will sacrifice every thing just to make you happy.. like even his sleep.  He'll stay up late with you if you are not so happy, or want to talk, even when he wakes up at five in the morning every day, and drives two hours in traffic, goes to work, drives back home two hours in traffic, and is still so HAPPY!

Dad, you are so cool.  I love you so much! 

I remember going into the garage in Fredericksburg and helping him stain the book shelfs.... :)  as he let his 11 year old daughter ramble on and on.  I see him bringing mom flowers.... all the time.  I see him bring me and my sisters flowers.  It really means alot to get flowers from some one.  I watch him lead our family in righteousness, with my mother at his side, both still so inlove, holding hands, working through life together, and raising us in wisdom,a nd to be good followers of Christ.  

He has nick-names for all of us!  One of mine is Sac du sucre... (sac of sugar)  Clair's is Baby beluga, Jocelyn's is Fifi, Sheridan's is...... she wont allow me to tell you, she says she wont have it posted for the whole world to see.. haha! (and just fyi, these names are kinda special, and family use only...so treat them with care please) Zach has too many... haha, and so does Luc.... But there are tons!  we all have alot, and some die slowly, and others come, and others continue.. Another one is I am "snow White"  and Clarissa is "rose red"  after the story of the two sisters snow white and rose red!  ;lol!  So dad, some times gives me white roses on my b-day and clarissa red ones on hers.. :)

He also used to sing to us..... my favorite was the piggy song... kinda morbid, but awesome!

Any ways.. I love my dad!  You have probably gotten sick of my telling about him, but I love him so much, and feel so blessed to have him as a father.
