Getting Excited for Fall

It has been quite awhile since I last updated this! Let's see, where to even begin?

I suppose I'll start with my summer job. This summer I worked at a camp for kids with disabilities (mostly autistic, some cerebral palsy, some down syndrome) which was pretty challenging, and completely not what I'm used to as far as working with kids goes! The kids were great, and it was a really wonderful experience overall. Of course, there were some days that were just terrible, but it's an experience I will never regret.

Also, as a side note, I turned 21 this summer which has been pretty fun. Before my birthday everyone was telling me that being 21 is really not all that great, but honestly I love it. Now I can take advantage of happy hour and buy wine to go with dinner :)

As you may have guessed by the title, I am getting waaay too excited for Fall. I always look forward to colder weather and all the delicious treats that come with it like apple cider, soups and stews, yummy breads and muffins, scarves and hats and jackets and boots and big socks and sweaters... I always get carried away in the Fall! And I just found a new gluten-free cooking blog, http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/. I'm going to have to try all the yummy recipes!

Of course, I'm also excited for school to start too. I love the routine of walking to class and walking around campus and spending time in the library. I hope to be a college professor some day just so I can spend a lot of my time on a college campus. Kara and I are living in the same duplex as last year, but our roommate Rose is moving out to live with some track friends and our friend Erin is going to move in! I'm pretty excited for the change, mostly because we've all been friends since middle school and it'll be fun to spend time together and have girls nights and all that.

I hope to update this blog more, perhaps with more recipes and pictures. I haven't been too good about updating, but usually I find I just have nothing exciting to say.
