I've been tring to spend less time on the computer (or, in our case, a tablet), but I've realized that a lot of pictures have been taken and time keeps going on. I feel like there's so much to catch up on. I'll start with a random pictures post. Some of these are probably from a month ago.

October 16
It's another cold day. Accuweather says it's 53, but I don't believe it. I think they wrote it backwards and meant to say 35.
Well, Jacob and I made it to 3 years. Three years of falling deeper and deeper in love with one another. Every day I feel like my love for Jacob just grows and grows. Sometimes I wonder how people make it to 50 years or more years of marriage without just exploding with love for one another. I am so happy to have such a wonderful and loving husband.
Not everything is easy in marriage. Not everything is easy in life. Everything is so much better with Jacob though. I love having my best friend by my side in life, whether things are well or things are rough. Jacob is one of the best gifts I've been given . Sometimes I remember back when I was first getting to know him, and it's always so crazy to think how we ended up together.
I love you so much, Jacob!
Here are some pictures of us from throughout this year.

October Wild Flowers
It is so cold now. It dipped into the 40's this afternoon after a windy rain cloud blew up. Jacob went to a dentist apointment. The kids are sleeping. I already finished my afternoon tea and cookie. A candle burns with a cozy scent on the table beside me. After checking my friends' blogs, I decided it was time to post some pictures of wild flowers I took on October 1st. It was a lot warmer that day. I'm not a fan of cold, so fall isn't really my favorite season because it means the end of summer. However, October 16, 2021 changed some of my perspective since that was the day we got married.
One thing I do love about fall is the fall wild flowers. On the morning of our wedding, before the sun had even risen, I got up early and drove away from my family's home for the last time as a single woman. Along my way to the church where our wedding was, I stopped by the farm in the morning haze and picked as many wild flowers as I could to be used as bouquets and decorations. That was one of the many "cheap" things I did for our wedding, and it was completely free. I loved the way they looked with the wedding. It was very "me," if you will. Anyway, that's one of the reasons I really love fall flowers.
