My favorite things about autumn

So, it's official, it is fall and this is by far my favorite season. Here's a list of my favorite things:

1. My birthday!

This is a picture of my birthday last year. It's not the best picture, but it was captured at midnight. My friend to the right had the staff of the bar know that it was going to be my birthday in a few hours, and this is the result! Opa!!

2. Halloween has many different categories:

2a. Pumpkin/apple picking

This is a picture from last year when we went apple and pumpkin picking with Anthony's family. We haven't scheduled a date to go back this year yet, but I hope we do that sometiem soon!

2b. Dressing up

This is an oldie but a goodie. I was 16 when this picture was taken. From left to right: my stepdad, a close family friend and her boyfriend.

2c. Scary movies

I have mentioned numerous times how much of a halloween junkie I am. I love scary movies! Not the new ones though, I love the classics. "Nightmare on Elm Street" being my favorite and Freddy Krueger my favorite fictional character.

2d. Candy!

Who doesn't love candy? Don't answer that though, because it may upset me. I know there are a few people out there who don't really enjoy candy, (I know, hard to get around that statement, right?) But I loooove my candy, especially gummy bears, Smarties and white chocolate!

3. The weather

I do hate the rain, I'm not gonna lie, but I love the cold weather! I love wearing hoodies and jackets and my Uggs. The only time I enjoy the rain are on days I get to sleep in and stay home all day.

4. Football season

I love football! I also love hockey, but I see hockey as more of a winter sport, even though it isn't. I'm so torn between being a Bears fan and a Giants fan. This is the perfect picture to represent my views on football. Also, isn't Anthony super cute?

5. Hot chocolate and cookies

I already possess a wonderful chocolate-chip cookie recipe. However, now I need a sugar cookie and butter cookie recipes! I also need to learn how to make my own hot chocolate. I usually just buy the pre-made mix, but I'd like to have a homier recipe at hand.

6. Fall television

Although school is keeping my schedule hectic, I have had some time to watch television on Wednesdays. My favorite show, "Modern Family", is back and right after is a new show "Revenge" that premiered this week. I actually really enjoyed it, so I'll probably be watching it this season. NCIS is also back, but I missed the first episode, so I'm hoping to find it online somewhere.

That's about all, what are your favorite things about your favorite season?

XOXO,
