crinkled leaves. cold air and coffee.

ah yes, its almost that time. fall time. My favorite time of the year, and I couldn't be anymore ready for it. When I think of fall though, it takes me back to knoxville and virginia. I miss those places. I miss the way I would feel when I was. I miss knoxville. I miss it more now these days then I think I ever have. I miss the people, the atmosphere, the tons of things to do on any given day, and I miss my friends. Its funny that when I think of fall I think of the music I listen to. I listened to waterdeep on my way to work today and I was just in a good mood. I was tired, very tired, but yet I found myself smiling and found myself wanting it to be fall more then anything right now. I miss virginia. I miss the mountains. I miss montebello.

I thought about how if I wouldn't of gone to Johnson, I wouldn't have these friendships that have allowed me to enjoy Gods beautiful creation like I have. I can remember the first time I went home with Courtney (my sister-in-law) freshman year, and thinking that Virginia was one of the most beautiful places I had been. I remember the first year I went to Montebello, and thinking to myself, 'now this is the kind of place I could see myself living.' I think about the time that we had about 20 people go to montebello, about 4 or 5 in each car and all our cars had names. I remember driving with Court, Vaka and Matt D and probably never laughing so hard in my life. How we listened to Brad Paisleys and sang it at the top of our lungs. I miss those times were we wouldn't really have to do anything, but be in the company of one another and we would all be content, but yet we often found ourselves laughing so hard we would have tears.

I'm not ready to grow up yet, but I know its coming sooner rather then later. I miss you all, and I love you all more then you probably know.
