The Sweetest Nest : a collection of fall moments

Every leaf speaks bliss to me,

fluttering from the Autumn tree.

- Emily Bronte

This is my 4th Fall not living in the mountains and every year I somehow forget that the colors don't really start to appear here until the very end of October or beginning of November. I'm so glad they have finally arrived!

There have been oh so many beautiful moments of fall to soak up.

A few weeks ago we took a trip back to the mountains to attend 2 weddings and visit family. It was so good to go home and mountains were gorgeous! My hubby performed his first wedding for his cousin and I did a little wedding hopping between another wedding. We also attended the annual Pumpkin Festival and a hometown football game.

The famous "Pumpkin Roll"

The Panther's are undefeated this season!

Barber's Orchard .. Yum!

Wedding ready!

Wedding number 1 .. at the same location we got married at!

Wedding number 2 .. another beautiful rustic barn wedding.

And of course we spent time preparing for Halloween. Our pumpkin this year was appropriately called "Goofy." On Halloween we had Character Day at school, where I attended as Wilbur from Charlotte's Web. It was such a fun day and I enjoyed seeing all of the different costumes! Halloween night was super busy with Trunk of Treats, a Fall Festival, and 5th Quarter at church.

And this weekend .. well we started it off by closing on our new house Friday afternoon! We didn't actually take possession until Monday, but we still celebrated Friday night. I'll be sharing more about our new home later this week, but of course we are packing and preparing to move again.

After spending several hours raking leaves Saturday, we did sneak in some time to take a beautiful fall walk in a park and peruse a stack of books while enjoying Starbucks at Barnes and Noble .. one of our favorite dates!
