I LOVE Trees

I have always had this love of trees. In my Heaven I will be in a grove of trees and Fall will last much longer than it does here. Oh Fall. My favorite season. What's better than the crispness in the air, the smell of pumpkins and carmel apples, the leaves changing into the most brilliant of colors, football, the clothes, Halloween closely followed by Thanksgiving, corn mazes, and so on and so forth. The picture above was taken when Bryan and I were engaged on the weekend of October Conference. We drove up the canyon while listening to conference with his brother Mike and his wife Darsi and enjoyed the beauty that Fall had brought to us.

This picture was taken when Lindsey came to visit me in Bend and we had gone up to Mt. Bachelor and stopped at one of the many lakes along the way, although now it eludes me where we are exactly. Which drives me crazy, but I'm pregnant and have a hard time remembering a lot of things these days. Just ask the Hubby. My camera is in hand because I was snapping away pictures of all the trees and the witch lichen that is on so many of them. I put up this picture to show how thick the trees are in the area that I was living. I miss it sooo much! How pretty are all those tall tall trees!

This beauty is in Arches National Park as you may have guessed from the red rock in the background. I love the twists in the bark and how unique and different it is. I actually enjoy the desert and find it very beautiful. But living somewhere that is that hot would do me in.

While driving in Portland, Oregon on my first visit there I had to take this picture because I was thinking this is how all city streets in America should look--- lined with trees.

Bryan and I got married under this tree in my backyard. It was the most beautiful Fall day in late October. What a special day. I love my Hubby and I loved our wedding day. It brings back so many wonderful memories of finally feeling home. And this is the most special tree to me.

On my mind...do you mind?

So our internet has been down for a couple of weeks and we finally went with a new provider, so yeah I can blog again! You have been warned that this is my rambling post. So Labor Day weekend was very fun for Bryan and I. We got to spend it together! No work! Saturday we went up to Swiss Days and I got three loaves of the most delicious bread that the Relief Society makes. Seriously it's to die for. And of course I got myself some yummy Midway jam to go with that bread. (I am a huge jam fanatic for any of you who do not know.) I also got the cutest bib for our baby girl. Jasper is such a good fly killer. My old dog Sugar was too. It's so funny cause he'll be sitting there staring off into space while an annoying fly keeps buzzing around his fluffy little head and then BAM! He snatches it and kills it! Whats even funnier is that we give Jasper a treat when he does it and tell him how amazing he is, (seriously think about it, one less fly in the house. Score!) and Izzy got jealous so now she tries to kill the flies too. But Izzy can't. Try as she may she hasn't killed one yet. You got to love her for trying though. Pregnancy is getting more uncomfortable, but I can't wait for my prize. I am greatly anticipating her arrival and praying for cooler weather, at least in the 70's. It's officially Fall as of tomorrow and the forecast calls for the 80's. You've got to be kidding me. The cooler weather would really help out this pregnant woman. I'm just saying. It's funny that I live by my friends again, but rarely see many of them. Whats up with that. Life is too busy I suppose. Bryan is getting ready to go back to school in January and is so excited which makes me happy to see him so happy. It will be so good for him. I miss the trees, weather, smell and my friends in Bend. Bend. What a lovely little city you are. With hardly any traffic. Isn't it funny how places have a feel to them. A walk in the park with my hubby and my puppies under the big trees sounds so nice tonight. Instead I'm here rambling while my hubby's at work. I love him so. Anywho, bye now.
