One of my favorite days of the year

September 1st is one of my favorite days of the year...it signals the end of the very hot month of August; my birthday and Michael's birthday are in September; it means that college football starts soon; it means that pumpkin latte's and pumpkin bread are a big hit; it is also the time for Oktoberfest...one of my favorite events of the year; September also means lots of free birthday goodies (at Sephora, Ulta, Naturalizer, Birchbox, Red Robin, Panera Bread, Baja Fresh, and much more); it is also the time that I visit all of the Farmer's Markets around here; it means it is time to get some apple cider donuts; it means it is pumpkin and mum decorating time; it is also the beginning of the fall season and the changing of the leaves; and it is when I put up my fall decorations. The one thing I always looked forward to in September as well was going camping at Detroit Lake. I really do miss that.

It was a fun day today. I put up my fall decorations, I ordered my free birthday items from some of the stores, I got some of the fall magazines in the mail...like Ulta and Pier One Imports. And...I thought about what I want to do this month to celebrate fall and my birthday.
