I haven&#8217;t been home in the fall since I moved here and I wonder if I&#8217;ll notice the leaves and the crisp air as much as I have the snow when I&#8217;ve come back in the winter or the humidity when I&#8217;ve been back in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>I like the idea of making such a grand statement in the fall, or at least the fall in Indiana, when the chances are things will be colorful and friends and family won&#8217;t be sticking to their clothes which will in turn be sticking to their chairs. But more than that, I like the idea gathering together the things that are important to a person before the winter sets in. It&#8217;s a kind of romantic notion about storing up to face the winter together.<\/p>\n<p>I like weddings. I especially like the one&#8217;s of folks for whom I have lots of affection. Clint and Kelly&#8217;s ceremony was so moving. As was Pat and Rachel&#8217;s. And Jim is a toastmaster extraordinaire &#8212; such a pleasure. I feel lucky to be included in Ned and Kristi&#8217;s big event. Please make me tear up. Seriously. I can be super sentimental.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s funny to be writing about a wedding but mostly talking about myself, which is one of the downfalls about blogging for me. Me, me, me, me. Need I say more more?<\/p>\n<p>I miss Ned on the blog, but I&#8217;ll trade in his absence for knowing that there are these really wonderful things happening in his life.
