Autumnal

-of or relating to Autumn

Heard this word from a friend for the first time a couple years back.  I just think I sound so intellectual and interesting when I use it.  So...I use it A LOT...around my kids that is.  They seem to be the only ones I can convince that I am, indeed, intellectual AND interesting. Ha!

Getting to the point...we Treadwells had a very Autumnal weekend here in the Mid-south.  Crisp weather, bonfires, corduroy AND a pumpkin patch.  Yes, we made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch.  This year it was Cedar Hill Farms in Hernando, MS as opposed to our beloved Hayden, AL Patch...tear.  Super impressed with this little farm, though.  Our visit included pony rides, hayrides, zip lines, a giant corn maize, homemade pumpkin donuts and, to top it all off, a piggy race...double Ha!  I'm not sure who enjoyed the day more , the kids or the adults!

Happy Autumn, y'all!

Piggy Races!!

In the moment!

OCHO

Last weekend was the hubs and my 8th Anniversary.  EIGHT...ocho...two-away-from-ten!  C.R.A.Z.Y!!!
Where has it gone?
Being back in Memphis made this anniversary feel very different than others.  In a weird way, this one felt like our first all over again.  Maybe it's being in a new home together with family and friends acting as gracious and supportive as they were in our newlywed days...or, maybe it's that every street in this town has a dating memory attached...or maybe, just maybe it's because we had a night to ourselves sans our three little amigos?!?
Whatever it was, we soaked it up...every last minute until we picked up the kids from my parents the next morning.

We managed to squeeze in a drink before dinner at the Madison Rooftop and caught a Beautiful Bluff City Sunset!  So glad we did this as it brought back sweet memories from our wedding night there and of course, Old Man River sure added to the nostalgia.

Gals, the view up there is AMAZING!  If you haven't been, go!!!

Blessed and thankful to share life with this man!  Here's to year 8 and prayers for many, many more!
