Love the tradition of taking time to pause and be grateful for...
Our home and finally starting to feel like this is our space
most of the boxes are unpacked
decorations are beginning to be placed
Men who get excited about old furniture
and driving them into Columbus
and figuring out how to make it work
Fall weather and soups
nothing that I love more than a big pot of soup on the stove
and bringing my own bowl to the tailgate
and contests with cousins to see who can eat the most
declaring myself the winner after finishing my 5th bowl
City services that haul away my junk
30 bags of leaves (what we did all weekend)
We were those trashy neighbors waiting for bulk pickup
Recycling bins are inching their way closer
15 blocks and counting
Voting by mail
and avoiding the lines
and sitting with my computer being able to research each issue
and feeling like I actually get a say in our future
