I am so excited for summer to go and fall to come. It has always been my favorite season. It reminds me of so many things,
the fun holidays, (my costume last year, 8 1/2 months pregnant)
all my favorite colors, 
getting ready for Bennett to be born,
decorating my house, 
warm foods,
cooler weather and wearing pants and sweaters,
and going back to school. 
I realized that this year will be the first that I am not going back to school. After high school I have been working at schools and going to college until now. I really will miss it. I had so much fun with the kids and feeling their excitement, energy and innocence. I loved helping them learn and grow. My favorite thing of all was feeling that I got to share with them of "you did it". I loved seeing them so proud of themselves when they read their first book or even just hung up their jacket by themselves. Even though I will not be doing that at a school, I still get to do it everyday at home with Bennett. I can see the excitement and pride in his eyes when he does something for the first time and immediately looks to me to make sure I saw it and receive his praise. I love what I am doing right now and can't think of anywhere else I would rather be, but here is a little tribute to the kids I will miss and the fun that we had.
Fun Field Trips
This little guy proposed to me right after Jon did. "Miss MarKey will you marry me?" While presenting a giant ring from a coin machine.
"Sorry Ben, I am going to marry Jon."
"But my ring is bigger........"
Smart for a 5 year old, huh. Knows just what to say.
This is Bennett. He was such a sweet boy. I don't know what I would have named my child if I never got to be this little boys teacher.
A fun part of my job was writing, teaching and directing the programs. Don't they looks so cute in their Christmas and spring outfits?

Sorry- I totally left am comment in my little brothers account. Anyways... I am so glad that I'm not the only person out there who loves fall:) I was just telling Brad a couple of days ago how glad I am that it's cooling off at night and I love the changing leaves and I love that I got to eat soup for lunch today! Yay for fall!!!
You did love those kids. I know you were so cute with them. I also love fall.......living in Arizona. In Utah it means the snow is coming. In Arizona it means the 80 degrees are coming. Yay Arizona winters!!
And, just a side note, this is your first fall not going to school......this is my first fall since High School that I AM going to school. Better late than never?
I agree! Fall is by far my favorite time of year for many of the same reasons you mentioned, but it's also when my birthday and our anniversary is. Love it!!
Why is Sunny going to school? Guess I haven't heard about that.
I'm stuck on your very first photo. That particular pose doesn't do justice to just how pregnant you were last Fall! Natalee was looking at this with me and she pointed to that photo and said, "There Auntie MarKey and there's Bennett" and pointed to the face.
Hi Markey! I found your blog through Karyn Gustafson's blog. Hope you don't mind. I love fall too! The pictures from your school days are awesome, and the pregnant pic is adorable. Isn't working with kids just the best? Your blog is really cute.

I love the first picture!!! I love fall also!
Your costume was perfect last year! I'm am with you on the fall season...I love it! I put up my decorations yesterday and Scott thought I was crazy. I just think he is still holding on to summer! I am waving bye bye to summer... gladly!
I can see how you miss going back to school! As much as I didn't LOVE the "school" part of school I miss the whole "going back to school" feeling and excitement!
K-that first picture of you is me in a couple of weeks. Weird to think I could have another kiddo by Halloween (lets pray he makes his appearance early!)
