october.

today is october 1st. 1 month ago i started this blog. 6 entries in 1 month is nothing to brag about, so i've decided to be more diligent at blogging. few people read this blog, and the ones that do (at least so far - who knows when i'll catch a break and become a world famous blogger?) are family and friends, so it's ok for me to get a little personal.

and that's exactly what i haven't been. personal. i realized that i am holding back, and that is something i struggle with. opening up. letting people in. and since i want to change this, why not start by sharing a little more of myself here on my blog.

october is my favorite month. the leaves. ah, the colors. the crisp, fresh air is my second favorite part about october, and fall in general. it's still summer weather here in provo so it hasn't really been feeling like fall yet. but i have faith. halloween is just around the corner. ah, halloween! i cannot WAIT!

i used to want to get married in october. once, while in stockholm, and the temple, i went to this outlet mall (kinda) by the temple and i saw a wedding picture of this couple standing on one side of a pond with the photographer on the other side, and the ENTIRE scene surrounding them was filled with red, orange, and yellow trees and leaves. it was breath-taking, and since was my dream wedding picture.

however, now i realize that august is the month for me. reasons will probably be described in the blogpost where i reveal all my wedding plans.

how's that for being more open? clearly i still have a long way to go. but it's been fun. and there's more to come.

so much more.
