I pray the ending of 2022 finds you all with peace and joy in Christ and excitement for what God has in store for you in the coming new year. </p><p>Life for us here in the Estola household has been ever changing, ever busy. With small children one year brings a lot of growth. They grow so quickly sometimes it is hard for my mind to fully grasp it. </p><p>In December 2021 we welcomed our second child and first son, Gideon. He has been an absolute joy and we are so grateful God blessed us with our blue-eyed boy. At now 12 months old, he is a full time walker and very busy. He loves to dig, climb, pull, and yell. I'll admit I am nervous as he discovers his independence but also so excited to watch him grow and learn beside his big sister. Who is his best friend by the way. </p><p>Kate turned three years old in November but sometimes I wonder if she turned 13. That girl is so smart and observant. She loves all things pink and sparkly. We are struggling right now because she owns just one pink nightgown and fights me to wear it to bed every single night. Her dreams for life consist of (almost) one thing. Her very own puppy named Clifford. She talks about him almost daily and prays we can "get a bigger house so Clifford can move in". Someday baby girl. Lord willing, someday. Kate is fully potty trained, can sing her alphabet, count to 20, and knows a few letters by sight and sound. She's really in to wanting to learn to read lately and every day asks what letter goes with what word and then repeats it back to you with the correct sound. She also wants to learn to play the piano and sew. My little homemaker in the making. </p><p>In just one month Josiah and I will be celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary. Some days it seems like it can't possibly be five years already. Most days it feels like we've always been together. Josiah is my best friend, and I mean that when I say it. I never tire of our quiet evenings together after the kids have gone to bed. I still get giddy when he walks in the door each evening from work. I still want to hold his hand when we walk through the store. Every day I thank God that He brought us together. I can't imagine what my life would be like if He hadn't. Every day I wonder, why me. Why did God allow me to have my dreams become reality. May He bless us with many more years as husband and wife. </p><p>Josiah still works in finish carpentry and enjoys his job. We are so thankful God has allowed us to stay busy (for the most part) and that God has given Josiah the ability to provide for us. </p><p>As for me, I spend my days busily taking care of my family. Running the house and watching my two little ones. Some days I long for a moment to myself, but I wouldn't change my life for anything. I love being a wife and mother. It truly is my dream come true. </p><p>Now for a summery of our year:</p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">January</span> found us with a newborn and adjusting to life as a family of four. If you know me personally, you know that the postpartum stage takes a hard tole on me, mentally. It's a very dark time for me and although I love those newborn smells and snuggles, I long for the days when the darkness lifts. Praise the Lord, it always has. </p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">February </span>was more of the same. Adjusting. Learning. Growing. And not so much sleep. But we did it! Two of Josiah's sisters flew out for a visit, and it was nice that they got to meet their nephew and see Kate (who they hadn't seen in almost a year) again. I am always so grateful when my husband's side of the family makes an effort to come and see us. We financially haven't been able to make many trips back to his childhood home in New Hampshire and he really does miss his family. With nine sisters and two brothers, he has a lot of family to miss! </p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">March </span>found us on the dry side of the state, visiting my Auntie A and Uncle Tim! That was a lot of fun. Our first family "road trip" even if it was only a few hours' drive. We enjoyed visiting them and I enjoyed showing Josiah the desert. I myself hadn't been to that side of the state in almost five years! I think my auntie, uncle, and cousins enjoyed having us. Kate had a blast playing with cousin Kaaren and Gideon got all the snuggles. </p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">April </span>saw Josiah turn 28 and me 26. Aren't we getting old? *laughs* It also saw my baby brother get engaged to his prairie girl, Brynna. It was so fun to meet her during that time and watch their relationship blossom. My kids immediately took to her and today they both absolutely love their "Auntie Brynna". Especially Gideon. Except when Uncle is around. *wink* Then he is always diving for Uncle's arms. </p><p>We also bought our van in April and my how that has been a blessing! Mini vans are life savers when you have small kids. </p><p>A cousin of mine who had been lost to the world was called home. Seeing Christ change her heart and bring her to repentance was a humbling experience. And such an eye-opening thing to witness. How great our God is! And how amazing it is to see His Hand gently reach down and save a body and soul that once was lost. Not only was her life spared, but her soul was also more importantly, saved. </p><p>Praise the Lord for His abounding grace! </p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">May </span>rolled in bringing warmer weather and we loved it. We spent a lot of time outdoors! Although we never made it on a hike. I celebrated my first Mother's Day with two kiddos, which was fun. Josiah's sister got married May 14th in NH. We were so sad to miss it! But alas, money doesn't grow on trees. Someday we'll get back there to see everyone. </p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">June</span> was a big month for us! After a couple months of planning, we headed out on our very first big road trip as a family. I'll admit, I was nervous! I get quite anxious on freeways but, praise the Lord, I did alright! After three days of travel, we made it to our destination. South Dakota. We were so thankful to be able to make the trip and witness my brother's wedding. </p><p>We stayed with Josiah's Aunt and Uncle, and we really enjoyed our time with them. It was the first time they met me or the kids but welcomed us all warmly. Kate still talks about going to "Glenda's" with the "soft carpet and rocking horse". We'd love to visit them again someday. </p><p>It was my first time visiting the Midwest, so I enjoyed seeing it! Especially because that was where my grandma was born. I've only ever visited a few states on the west coast along with New Hampshire so it was all new territory for me. Very different than my mountainous PNW but pretty in its own way! During that trip we got to take Kate to the zoo (her first time!) and we loved that. It was so quiet and relaxing. A much-needed slow paced family day. </p><p>We also got to visit the Laura Ingalls homestead! The child in me was squealing with glee. I first heard the Laura books when I was three years old, and every year since. I never dreamed I'd be able to visit one of her homes in my lifetime. It was very surreal. We are so grateful we could make that trip. </p><p>It was also during this month my baby sister started dating her boyfriend, Byron. </p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">July</span> came in quietly but boy was it a rough month. We caught a terrible virus and all four of us were down for a week or more. Nothing makes a mama's heart ache more than to see your children burn with fevers. Praise the Lord we made it through that all in one piece! But what a scary time. </p><p>Before we were completely well, Ed and Rahcel flew into town for a visit. Thankfully they never caught it from us and we were able to still spend time with them! Was so nice to see them meet Gideon and watch Kate get to know her "Grandpa and Grandma E". We miss them. </p><p>During July we also helped my parents move from their home of seven years to "the farm" in the flats. Barely over sickness and a scorching 95+ degree day, but we managed it. We got them moved. That was one exhausting month. </p><p>We also learned the news that "Baby Pooh" (Chancy and Brynna's) is due to arrive in April 2023! I am so excited for them and for myself. I'll get to experience being the Auntie for the first time. </p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">August</span> was spent recovering from the previous month and helping my parents settle into their new home. Chancy and Brynna were living in their temporary apartment but anxiously waited for their little house that was being built to be finished. Which happens to be in the back yard of my parent's new house. </p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">September</span>. Ah, September. Not a good month for me. We planned a regular dentist appointment which shockingly gave me the news that I needed my lower wisdom teeth removed as soon as possible. To say I was scared is an understatement. I was terrified. I didn't need to be put to sleep, but I wasn't sure if that was a blessing or not. Those couple weeks of waiting until I had to go in were very anxiety packed. </p><p>During our wait we took the kids to the fair for the first time. It was so crowded, but we enjoyed it just the same. Kate loved all the farm animals. </p><p>Then on September 15th we awoke to Gideon throwing up with the stomach flu. The very morning we had to leave at 6:00 am to get to my wisdom teeth extraction appointment. Worst morning ever. I have never had such butterflies in my stomach. I was so afraid of catching the stomach flu while trying to recover now on top of my fears of having to lay in a chair for two hours while they cut teeth out of my gums and jaw. </p><p>In reality, the appointment took over two and a half hours. Now when I say I'd rather give birth than do that again, I mean it. Worst experience of my life. A few times I started to panic and that was a terrifying feeling. I kept praying over and over, begging God to help me. Because all I wanted to do was jump up and run. Josiah had to stay in the van with Gideon since he was sick, so I was alone. Wishing so badly he was there. Never again, please. </p><p>I walked out of that office and immediately burst into sobs. Poor Josiah. The drive home was an ordeal because Gideon started to throw up so I had to jump and help him which in turn caused me to start passing out. So there was Josiah, trying to merge on to a freeway, with a puke covered baby and a wife passing out in the back seat. Thankfully we made it home alive, if barely. </p><p>Recovery was hard. I was so hungry and in so much pain. After two weeks I thought I was on the mend but then awoke one morning with the swelling coming back on one side and coming back quickly. Turned out I had an infection and needed antibiotics as quickly as I could get them. I had never felt such pain in my life. My face swelled so huge, and the lump was so hard, it was pushing a lot of pressure on my teeth. I couldn't eat for five weeks. Five weeks. I was so hungry. I lost a lot of weight during that time and cried the first time I was able to chew (which was a single French fry) again. </p><p>During that time, I had other health concerns like infections etc. that happened. Let's just say, my body and mind were put through the ringer. I'm pretty sure two months later I'm still recovering. </p><p>In the middle of all that chaos, my baby sister and Byron got engaged (one day before our engagement anniversary) and although I was very happy for them, I feel a little cheated when it comes to enjoying that time and the wedding planning. </p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">October</span> I continued to heal, and my family began planning a wedding. When I say this year has been a wild one, I mean it. So much has changed in such a short time. I'll admit even I have shed some tears over all the change. It's been good change! But change nonetheless. Two weddings. My parents moved. A baby on the way. God is ever good. But some days I wish I could slow down the clock. </p><p>It was also a scary time as our state had been without rain for far too long and fires began breaking out all around us. Many family members were put in 1 and 2 evacuation levels. Wildfires are one of the most terrifying things to ever experience. Oh, how many prayers were sent upward for rain. Praise God, rain came, and the fires were quenched. But those days were not fun. Although we weren't officially put in any evacuation, we packed our important belongings and were prepared to leave at a moment's notice. We are so thankful that never came. </p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">November </span>began the crazy long days. We celebrated Kate's third birthday, spent Thanksgiving with family, and had a bridal shower for Liberty. </p><p>And here are we now, nearing the end of <span style="font-family: verdana;">December</span>. Christmas will be here in just a short time and it's hard to believe. </p><p>December 2nd Liberty and Byron became one. What a beautiful wedding! They were such a cute couple (and still are). The wedding went well although brother Chancy did pass out during the ceremomy which in turn caused me to begin to pass out. I had to collapse to the floor as I stood in front of the entire church (I was a bridesmaid) because I lost my vision. How embarrasing. I couldn't sleep for days after because I felt so dumb. But, in the end, they were married. </p><p>And so this year comes to a close. As I have said several times, what a wild year. Filled with laughs, tears, and change. A lot of change. </p><p>I said that my sister getting married didn't bother me, because I thought it didn't. In reality, it <i>has </i>been hard. I am so happy she found her other half, but the rapid change has been hard to fully grasp. My health wasn't great this year, which in turn made the year mentally harder as well. </p><p>Motherhood can be so hard at times. And it can also feel very lonely. </p><p>But in the end, I know deep down, God is still gracious. And I praise Him with everything in me for all His blessings in this life. And I long for the day we can all join Him in Heaven, forever singing His praises. </p><p>I feel like perhaps I got too personal in this letter, but I suppose I needed to get some stuff out. </p><p>I pray for all you who read this, that you may know God's wonderous love.

I am nearing the end of my first trimester and soon will be in to my second (14 weeks). For those who don't know, pregnancy is divided in to three "trimesters" each about three months long. </p><p>This pregnancy has been very different than Kate's, but also similar if that makes any sense? My brain doesn't work like it used to and I have forgotten a lot of what happened my first time around. Thankfully I kept a journal and also wrote blogs to help me look back and be able to compare. I want to try do the same this time but mentally this pregnancy has been so different than Kate's, making me forget to document a lot of all the changes and updates. </p><p>I am not sure if it's because this is my second, or because I am in a healthier place mentally than I was with Kate, but I haven't been nearly as scared or confused or even as emotional this time. The days just blend together and I am quickly becoming farther and farther along. With Kate I took a picture every week documenting my belly. This time I have so far only taken a few. I have only cried a few times (with Kate is was nearly every day) and I don't feel nearly as terrified as last time for birth and taking care of a newborn. Which is weird because you'd think I'd be more scared knowing what I am getting in to *laughs*. But I guess I also know I can do it and survived last time with the help of God and my family so why couldn't I again? </p><p>With Kate I struggled with <i>extreme </i>post partum depression/anxiety which I didn't expect and also made me afraid to have another baby. I am praying so hard this time isn't like that because that is the scariest thing I have ever experienced. Thankfully so far I am doing much better emotionally and I pray it stays this way even after birth. </p><p>We plan to use the same midwives we did with Kate and do another home water birth(Lord willing!). My prayer is that this time around goes just as smooth and safe. I absolutely <i>loved </i>Kate's birth. (That doesn't mean it wasn't hard or didn't hurt though *laughs*) One time I was talking to someone about how it hurt etc. and they said "but I thought you said you loved it?" which made me chuckle. It's hard to explain but yes you can love your birth even with the memory of all the pain. </p><p>Around 6 weeks I started to get quite sick this time (and reading back in my old posts I realize I started feeling sick with Kate at 5.5 weeks when in my memory I was farther along) and it was rough. We had bought tickets to fly to NH the DAY before finding out I was pregnant (3 weeks and 6 days along) so I did panic a little at the thought of flying while first pregnant and visiting out there for two weeks before having to fly home again. </p><p>I was so nervous. I had headaches and was so nauseated I couldn't move. My mom found some acupuncture bands online that are suppose to help with nausea and I literally ordered them on the sport and paid extra (which I never do) to have them arrive the next day. They aren't a cure for nausea by any means but they helped and for that I am so thankful. They made me be able to function fairly well, I was able to start eating and drinking water again, and I could even visit people quite comfortably. I certainly felt sick still and wanted to gag at any moment but hey, I could move. </p><p>New Hampshire went well. It was a slow paced trip just filled with seeing family, eating (more like nibbling for me) and taking naps. Although I felt sick I am so thankful we were able to make it and Josiah could see his family for the first time in over a year. Everyone got to see Kate (18 months) for the first time since she was 4 months old. Sadly she never did warm up to her Grandma and Grandpa E. Actually, the only person she warmed up to was her Auntie (and mine) Mary. Maybe because Auntie M had a baby (snuggly Reagan CarolAnn!) so she felt safe, or maybe just because she's sweet *wink*. </p><p>Still, it was nice seeing everyone get to watch her run around and being her (mostly) goofy self. </p><p>She got to see her Great-Grandpa and Grandma Stenersen and even met her one living great-great Grandma MaryAnn! That was neat. Kate was cranky (and I felt like throwing up) but we were able to snap a quick picture of us with her. </p><p>Kate did quite well on all the flights and all in all it was a blessed trip. </p><p>I will admit though, I was so ready to come home. I wanted to be able to be sick in my own bed *laughs* and because we barely found out I was pregnant before we left I felt very unprepared. </p><p>Coming home I started to improve a little. At 10 weeks I felt great! But when week 11 came along I felt pretty sick again. Still do though I am so thankful I'm not worse. The worst part is the headaches and the fact that I am never full because if I eat too much I make myself sick. But if I don't eat I feel sick. So it has to be the perfect amount. Isn't that great? *laughs*</p><p>The weather has been lovely lately. Hot and sunshine. I am loving it. Except for the fact I have to wear shorts *laughs* I hate those things. Our landlords have been away actually most of the time since we got back from New Hampshire and even though I don't care when they're home, I have to say I enjoyed having the property to ourselves. I felt comfortable to just roam all over with Kate (even though I know they don't care if we do that even when they're home) and just spend more time in the outdoors. Yesterday we spent the morning outside (me, Josiah, and Kate) cleaning the car and truck inside and out, mowing the lawn, etc. Gave me a taste of what it would be like to have our own home. *sigh* I can't wait for that day. A big yard. Room for a swing set. Sandbox. A place for Kate to learn how to ride a bike. A little pool. A grill for family barbeques. Just a home where we can spend hours as a little family. Someday, right? </p><p>But all in all I love where we live. It's homey. Its comfortable. It's our little haven. A place we can come to and relax and make memories. I have been so happy here and it's my favorite place we have ever lived. It's only one bedroom and soon there will be four of us in there but where there's love there's room right? I know someday I'll look back and miss these days. I am loving my life and just enjoying being a wife to my absolute best friend and mama to my baby(ies). </p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Swf5JU9ppMM/YLZhNiofLOI/AAAAAAAAGgI/_ygsuCEYibcR4Uk1SAPhld9p6W8StGAtgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_4783.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Swf5JU9ppMM/YLZhNiofLOI/AAAAAAAAGgI/_ygsuCEYibcR4Uk1SAPhld9p6W8StGAtgCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_4783.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">On the plane to NH</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2l1MXCvAZTc/YLZhVDXpuZI/AAAAAAAAGgM/bxJdIUrJcXUxZdripT_tHmJbpQEXkMCMgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_4787.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2l1MXCvAZTc/YLZhVDXpuZI/AAAAAAAAGgM/bxJdIUrJcXUxZdripT_tHmJbpQEXkMCMgCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_4787.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vy_U80ot9qQ/YLZhWsfopjI/AAAAAAAAGgQ/GAeqFA_dutMeF5FZ-Ur9LqfHqwnSBY6aACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_4790.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vy_U80ot9qQ/YLZhWsfopjI/AAAAAAAAGgQ/GAeqFA_dutMeF5FZ-Ur9LqfHqwnSBY6aACLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_4790.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Uncle Josiah and Reagan </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LNNKd27HWG0/YLZhlFo3y0I/AAAAAAAAGgc/xP_8Ep2mTeApf7DYZwHrSWLk0zJQlJgVQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_4808.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1539" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LNNKd27HWG0/YLZhlFo3y0I/AAAAAAAAGgc/xP_8Ep2mTeApf7DYZwHrSWLk0zJQlJgVQCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_4808.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LBYEdqEE-BM/YLZh3xjiTnI/AAAAAAAAGgo/EriRmSMqXu0o-LOph3Vb024B3HaPH-29QCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_4824.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LBYEdqEE-BM/YLZh3xjiTnI/AAAAAAAAGgo/EriRmSMqXu0o-LOph3Vb024B3HaPH-29QCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_4824.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">had to make a stop at my favorite place!

On top of the entire world losing their minds, I was also learning how to be a Mom and watching my daughter change daily. Even though so much has changed in the outside world, my world hasn't felt all that bad. We snuggled and laughed. Learned to walk and how to get back up when we fall down. (both me and Kate). </p><p>We went shopping. Held hands. Looked at sunsets. Sipped hot coffees. Loved. </p><p>Little ones grow so much in just one short year. It's hard to believe a year ago today, Kate was a little newborn just starting to show her personality. Now as I type this she is kicking her legs and singing while eating her crackers. That girl is such a joy to raise. (and also trying at times. *wink*)</p><p><br /></p><p>I wanted to try and do a summary of each month of 2020. It's honestly hard to remember exactly what happened because when you're living on little sleep, things seem to run together. But I will try! </p><p><br /></p><p>J A N U A R Y </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ou6tCp5S0xE/X_YLQdkb7iI/AAAAAAAAF-M/1DlXpLsPCf0-XNr5GzIwBKdrWxbglM40QCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/January1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ou6tCp5S0xE/X_YLQdkb7iI/AAAAAAAAF-M/1DlXpLsPCf0-XNr5GzIwBKdrWxbglM40QCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/January1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>Kate turned 2 months old and we had our first snow. It didn't even last an entire day but it sure was pretty.</p><p>During this time we were living in our last apartment, which due to many reasons, was not a fun place to live. I struggled with severe (severe!) anxiety after having Kate, as well as some depression, so this time is a dark time for me. Looking back I just remember nightmares, fear, struggles, tears, and questions. Kate and Josiah were my sunshine and with them, my Mom, and God, I made it through that valley and back to the top of the mountain. </p><p>Josiah continued learning his new trade at work, and I continued to learn how to be a mom at home. </p><p>We celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on January 20th. We left Kate with my parents and went to eat at a restaurant down the road. The food ended up not being great, but my company was so it all worked out in the end. *wink*</p><p>I spent a lot of times at my Moms (still do lol). The apartment had no internet and no cell service so I felt very isolated. If I was there I put movies going a lot for background noise. </p><p>When winter came this year, and it started to get dark in the evenings, memories flooded back of those winter nights, waiting and longing for Josiah to come home and chase the fears away. *shiver* So thankful those are easing. I recognized they were just feelings from those memories, and I am able to reassure myself all is well and nothing is actually wrong. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UHSQICSmkuo/X_YOc0KYzgI/AAAAAAAAF-c/797AXHwcASY0XJooJxkpxtsETXZC46pZACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_4529.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

At least I was. Now I know the place we were living wasn't actually <u>horrid </u>but for me, personally, it felt it. I wasn't comfortable and I didn't feel safe. I thank God every day, almost a year later, that He allowed us to leave there. </p><p>We searched for a new place to live, though it was hard. Then a bittersweet thing happened. My cousin (and dear friend) and her husband made the decision to move to New Hampshire. Their apartment (at my great-aunts house) would be opening up and we could have it. I miss my friend so much, but this place has been such a huge blessing to live at. It's quiet. Its comfortable. And most important, I feel safe again. </p><p>They were not moving out until the beginning of March though, so in the meantime we moved back in for the second time with my parents. I believe we lived with them for about 2.5-3 weeks. </p><p>During this month Kate turned 3 months old and she was baptized by my uncle Mikey.

The crazy month, right? *laughs*<div>We moved in to our new place March 9th and then a week later we boarded a plane and headed to New Hampshire for a wedding Josiah was standing in. It was a quick, strange trip. The wedding ended up only being family and the wedding party, and everything shut down while we were there. Our planes kept getting canceled until we finally booked a new flight for the very next day, quickly threw our belongings together, and headed back home. We were afraid we'd never make it back! But, thank the Lord, we did. </div><div>It was Kate's first vacation, though it was sadly far too short. </div><div>Once home, Josiah couldn't work for a while so we spent a lot of the time sitting at home or my parents place. Slowly but surely though, life went (somewhat) back to "normal". Josiah headed back off to work and I continued to be a Mama to our quickly growing girl. </div><div>Kate turned 4 months old and began laughing, wiggling, smiling, and yelling like crazy. </div><div>This was also the month I started to feel better, mentally. My anxiety went down, my hormones seem to straighten out, and I felt like myself again. I began losing my baby weight and started to really enjoy cooking again. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e_bN9RoNDXE/X_YfeTTj_KI/AAAAAAAAGCY/vqF5ReZQxAgO0n2PucmUyY90QAysTvV3gCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DBTC7203.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

Summer. As much as I love autumn and cold weather, summer is always a blessing when it comes. Sunshine. Blue skies. Campfires. Long nights.</p><p>We spent our July outdoors. Kate had her first Independence Day. We went on our annual blueberry picking day, and I planned an at home date for Josiah which was a lot of fun!</p><p>We also painted my parents entire house. By hand. With paint brushes. Phew. A lot of work but honestly a lot of fun. </p><p>Kate went to the beach for the first time and lets just say she was less than pleased.

The sun disappeared (except for the occasional glimpse of a fiery red ball through the gray smoke) and the air smelled of campfire. It was so thick it was advised that you don't leave your home, or even open your windows. (which has happened in years past). Ash fell like snowflakes. </div><div>A wildfire started up just 15 (or so) miles away and we all sat on the edge of our seat, waiting to see what would happen. </div><div>We did get the call to prepare for evacuation, which was pretty scary. We loaded all our things we felt were important into our truck, packed suitcase, and prayed. After about a week the evacuation was lifted and we were able to unpack.

My laptop died and I have not been able to do any blogging, but my sweet hubby just recently bought my a new one and I am excited to (possibly) start blogging more regularly again. I am not sure who really reads my posts, but I enjoy writing them.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other morning I awoke to find the world covered in a layer of frozen frost. It was far too pretty to not snap a few pictures of my sweet (almost 14 month old!) little girl in it. Kate loves to explore and check details out, making it near impossible to get her to look for a photo, but I think she's beautiful no matter what. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P0Nz7yRcQBk/X_PBtuA7j1I/AAAAAAAAF9w/OR503fcpCMkECAIH8XzNlK38yMjIfaxagCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_1932.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P0Nz7yRcQBk/X_PBtuA7j1I/AAAAAAAAF9w/OR503fcpCMkECAIH8XzNlK38yMjIfaxagCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_1932.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tpGBoTctpsY/X_PBg1rYwiI/AAAAAAAAF9o/mvcIBNfzsCMhoNiA2T0GpMujJQFcZO44QCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_1933.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tpGBoTctpsY/X_PBg1rYwiI/AAAAAAAAF9o/mvcIBNfzsCMhoNiA2T0GpMujJQFcZO44QCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_1933.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kciBtc_dHTk/X_PBoZEhKuI/AAAAAAAAF9s/d3jFMPkhBTIX6-ESy5IXKR2maOaWV9wjgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_1935.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kciBtc_dHTk/X_PBoZEhKuI/AAAAAAAAF9s/d3jFMPkhBTIX6-ESy5IXKR2maOaWV9wjgCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_1935.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HeoOKKpUSoY/X_PDa3g7ahI/AAAAAAAAF-A/1gEYjMmIcskee5Ny7e6ONMZKUnkNz4pkgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_1936.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HeoOKKpUSoY/X_PDa3g7ahI/AAAAAAAAF-A/1gEYjMmIcskee5Ny7e6ONMZKUnkNz4pkgCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_1936.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Well, that's all I have time for now!

<br />
This girl just keeps growing before my eyes.<br />
Kate loves puppies, flowers, and going to visit Grandma's house. She loves music and will now dance to it sometimes.<br />
This month she took her first steps and can stand on her own quite well though she is still timid. She loves to climb and walk along everything. Bath time is her favorite and she'll crawl right in the shower (we don't have a tub) even with her diaper still on.<br />
She adores babies and it's her favorite word to say.<br />
<br />
Kate is such a curious and silly little girl. She wants to play and explore, always.<br />
Her smile is still contagious (though during this photo shoot she wanted to play, not smile) and her laugh is the best music ever.<br />
<br />
We love our blue eyed angel.<br />

<br />
Yet another tag here on my blog! I don't have much time to do blog post these days but I still enjoy doing them and tags are quick and simple. Thank you baby sister (<a href="http://libertyelegantcowgirl.blogspot.com/2020/08/behind-blogger-t-g.html" target="_blank">Liberty</a>) for tagging me!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
r u l e s</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thank the person who tagged you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
answer the questions</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
nominate 5+ bloggers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Why did you start blogging and why have you kept blogging?<br />
<br />
Well, way back in <a href="https://felicityestola.blogspot.com/2015/02/a-little-of-this-and-dash-of-that.html" target="_blank">February 2015</a> I was an eighteen year old girl trying to figure her life out. Not exactly sure where she was headed or what her purpose in life, that girl started blogging (under a different blog and personal name) as a way to express her feelings and thoughts scrambling around inside.<br />
I (somewhat) continue blogging because even though my days are now busy with diapers and dishes, I still enjoy writing whenever I finally do sit down, and my blog is sort of my journal and the way I document my life and thoughts.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. What is your type of blog posts to write?<br />
<br />
Life updates and photo dumps. Those are my favorite to read as well.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. What are your top three favorite blog posts?<br />
<br />
<a href="https://felicityestola.blogspot.com/2015/03/a-stroll-down-memory-lane.html" target="_blank">A stroll down memory Lane</a><br />
<br />
<a href="https://felicityestola.blogspot.com/2017/06/unanswered-prayers_9.html" target="_blank">unanswered prayers</a><br />
<br />
<a href="https://felicityestola.blogspot.com/2017/10/the-night-i-said-yes-september-23-2017.html" target="_blank">the night I said yes - september 23, 2017</a><br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. What are your three favorite things?<br />
<br />
When my husband comes home from work and gives me a hello hug and kiss.<br />
<br />
Kate's bright eyes and smile when she wakes up in the morning.<br />
<br />
Quiet early mornings.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. What are your favorite blogging moments?<br />
<br />
When I announced I was <a href="https://felicityestola.blogspot.com/2017/10/the-night-i-said-yes-september-23-2017.html" target="_blank">getting married</a>.<br />
<br />
When I announced <a href="https://felicityestola.blogspot.com/2019/04/and-baby-makes-three.html" target="_blank">I was pregnant</a>.<br />
<br />
When I announced our <a href="https://felicityestola.blogspot.com/2019/12/baby-e-has-arrived-meet-kate-marie.html" target="_blank">baby girl was born</a>.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6. Describe your personality in three words:<br />
<br />
Quiet.<br />
Weird.<br />
Simple.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
7. What are your top three pet peeves?<br />
<br />
When a door isn't all the way open or all the way closed.<br />
<br />
Cupboard or drawer left open.<br />
<br />
Dishes in the sink.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8. What is something that your followers don't know about you?<br />
<br />
Uhh.... I am not sure? *laughs* What haven't I shared?<br />
I am afraid of being pushed on a swing. No clue why but when someone starts to push me from behind I well up in anxiety.<br />
<br />

I rarely get on my blog these days but my baby sister over at <u><a href="http://libertyelegantcowgirl.blogspot.com/2020/07/my-favorite-things-t-g.html" target="_blank">𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔼𝕝𝕖𝕘𝕒𝕟𝕥 ℂ𝕠𝕨𝕘𝕚𝕣𝕝</a></u> tagged me for this little tag and I decided, why not? I am going to try and list things that I haven't said on here before. It may be hard because as LaKaysha said, I "don't like anything". *laughs* </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm not going to list the three obvious favorites of mine (Josiah. Kate. Jesus) as those go without saying.<br />

1. bicycling</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Some may not know that I enjoy riding bikes but I do! I haven't done much of it in the recent years but as a kid it was one of my favorite past times. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My husband grew up in New England with small towns and he biked <b>everywhere</b>. In the summer time he spent time camping at Cape Cod and biking up the canal or to get coffee in town. When we were dating he took me there and we did the same. It was <b>so </b>fun and relaxing. We need to go back and do it again!</div>

Yep. I am the strange one who always loved, and still loves, cotton candy ice cream. It's so fun and sweet and brings back fond memories of childhood. </div>

3. blueberry picking<br />
<br />
Almost every summer that I can remember my family has gone blueberry picking. And for some years of my life we had our own bushes. Blueberry picking is relaxing and fun. Getting outside in the sun, eating warm berries from the bush, and watching the bucket fill up is the best kind of therapy. I always said when I grew up I wanted to be a blueberry farmer and somewhere inside me I still do.<br />

<br />
Hands down, oldies music is the only way to go.<br />
My siblings get so annoyed with me when I wrinkle my nose at some of the "music" they choose to listen to. They say I am "narrow minded". Well, I can't help it. I am not purposely not liking the new music of today but I sincerely just don't enjoy it.<br />
Give me oldies all the way. From Elvis Presley to Crystal Gayle. I am all for the softer tunes of past years.<br />
You can not tell me that the jamming loud music beats the soft tones of Whispering Bill Anderson. I simply won't agree. Praise and worship? Give me the old hymns by George Jones.<br />

I'm sure as you all already know, I love cleaning. But I also love things <b>smelling </b>clean. As a kid my mom used good ole "pine-sol" until we switched to natural cleaning products. Still, the smell brings back so many fond memories. (am I crazy?)<br />
Now I love to use tea tree oil to get that delicious "clean" smell.<br />

November 10, 2019 was one of the best days of my life. A tiny little girl entered the world and I haven't been the same since.<br />
<br />
Fast forward 6 months and she still amazes me. How is it that my little baby is already half a year old? I promise I only blinked once.<br />
<br />

Kate is a ball of energy and so much fun. Except when she's a crab, then she's a whole lot of work! *laughs*<br />
She can never sit still and has to be rolling, jumping, walking, twisting, or wiggling at all moments. Sometimes I wish she would just sit and cuddle me.<br />
<br />
She can run like crazy in her walker and tries to grab everything within reach, and then some.<br />
She is learning how to use a sippy-cup, loves to eat baby food, wants to hold your fingers and walk, and Grandma is her whole world.<br />
<br />
Kate has been teething for a while and recently she became quite the challenge. Thankfully, two teeth popped through and she has been so much happier!<br />
<br />
Her big blue eyes melt me and that smile is enough to kill you.<br />
<br />
Like her mama, she is a "early to bed. early to rise" person and wants to be in bed (most days) by 7:00 p.m. and up by 6:00 a.m.<br />
<br />
Being a Mom is the hardest job I have ever done, and I know it only gets more challenging from here, but it's oh so worth it. I love watching her personality grow and can't wait to see what kind of person she becomes.<br />

I haven't done a decent blog post since... September? With only two posts since the arrival of my baby girl. So much has happened and changed. I really want to get an update down on "paper" for myself. You're welcome to come along if you're interested. <b>*wink*</b><br />
<br />
I wrote <a href="https://felicityestola.blogspot.com/2019/10/new-apartment-due-with-baby-e.html" target="_blank">here </a>that we were finally moved in to our apartment after living with my parents for... <b>*mom</b> <b>brain*</b> four months? Yeah. I believe it was around four months. We were both so excited and happy and feeling very blessed. It all went smooth for a couple months but then things started happening. Things that made living there <u><b>very </b></u>uncomfortable. I'll admit I even had nightmares about it. Maybe it was all the crazy hormones going on inside me. Who knows.<br />
Our landlords became very difficult and as soon as our 6 month lease was up, we were out of there without looking back. I am so thankful God gave us that place for the time that we had it, and I am extremely grateful I was able to give birth in the comfort of my own living room. If you're interested in hearing my birth story, comment down below. Maybe I could manage to get that out for you. <b>*wink*</b> I have to say, it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. It couldn't have gone better.<br />
The one and <b>only </b>thing I miss about that apartment is the bathtub. Having a bathtub was super nice. At the end of my pregnancy I retained (if you don't know, that means my body held on to a lot of fluid) very badly and my midwife had me soaking in the tub every evening with Epsom salt.<br />
But, we're getting a little off topic.<br />
<br />
Anyway, we moved in with my parents when Kate was a little over three months old. Thankfully we knew this time wouldn't last as long as the first round of living with them while I was pregnant.<br />
My cousins were moving across the country (to New Hampshire ironically) and their little apartment (at my great-aunt and uncle's) would be opening up. We lived with my parents about three weeks before moving in to this place we now have. It has been <b><u>so </u></b>much more relaxing and I thank God every day that He gave us this place. Especially during this crazy time with the virus and quarantine. If I had been stuck at the other apartment still... <b>*shutter*</b> I don't even want to think about it.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures of our fourth apartment in 2.5 years.<br />

<br />
We have our very first dishwasher since we've been married! That's exciting. Also, I love the laundry. No tub but Kate is able to take baths in the big kitchen sink. All in all we are so much happier here and I pray we can stay here for a long long time. Preferably until we can buy or build. Hey, if you're gonna dream, dream big.<br />
<br />
After living here for just eight days, we hopped a plane and flew 3,000 miles back to New Hampshire for a friends wedding. Josiah was standing. Because of the virus, the wedding was shrunk to only the wedding party and immediate family. Was a strange day for sure! But still beautiful and I am very happy for Mariah and Gordon. <3<br />
<br />
While Josiah was getting wedding photos taken he got a text that our flight home was canceled. That was on Saturday and we were suppose to fly home Tuesday. We spent HOURS on the phone re-booking, having our flight canceled before we even hung up the phone for the second time, and booking another flight. Our new flight meant we would leave Thursday.<br />
Sunday we were hanging out with family when for the third time, our flight was again canceled. Feeling *slightly* panicky that we wouldn't make it home, we went online and bought a new nonstop trip back home from Boston for the very next morning at 5:00 a.m. In a rush we said our hellos to much of Josiah's family, goodbye, threw our belongings together, and loaded up at 3:30 a.m. for the airport.<br />
How grateful I am that we made it home safely! Though I do wish we could have had a more relaxing trip, where we were able to actually do things like eat out and go visiting. Someday we'll go back.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures from Kate's first big trip!<br />

Literally as soon as we landed, our state went on a lock down. Ever since then we've just been living. Day in and day out at home. Josiah can't work because he isn't "essential" so that's been a little stressful. But, God has provided so far and I know He will continue to. <3<br />
<br />
I am enjoying the sunshine we are having and even laid in the sun once! Settling in to our little home and staying as busy as we can.<br />
<br />
Kate is growing <b><u>so</u></b> much. She is now five months old! She can scoot forward, sit up, move around in her walker, and loves eating rice cereal. She squeals and yells all the time, and loves jumping in her "johnny jump up". At the moment she is in her high chair, chatting to herself and playing with her favorite toy. Her "Crinkle Pooh Book". I love watching her grow! It's so fun! But also makes me sad because I realize how quickly the time goes by and she's growing faster than I can grasp.<br />
<br />
I can't believe God blessed us with such a beautiful little girl. <3<br />
<br />
Well, here are some pictures from my life in the recent months!<br />

<br />
The <b>rainy</b> weather has come.<br />
Today as I sat and sipped my morning raspberry tea, I started reading old blog posts. I realized how much I enjoyed them and how they are my version of a journal.<br />
I used to physically write in a diary but since meeting Josiah, that has basically completely ceased to happen. Why not do a blog update, even if it's just for me to read down the road?<br />
<br />
As you all know, we moved from New Hampshire back to my home state of Washington. We arrived on June 28, 2019 and moved in with my parents. (sorry for stealing your bedroom sisters)<br />
<br />
We have been living here now for almost <b><i>3 months</i></b>. Wow. Seems so crazy. The time has been flying by for sure.<br />
<br />
The plan was to live with my mom and dad for a month, then begin apartment searching. We looked around at a few places before finding one that we loved, was in our price range, and just a few minutes down the road. Perfect! The original move in date was September 1st (we signed papers for the apartment around August 1st) but it has been pushed back twice now. Another couple is living there and building a house. Apparently things are not going as planned and they have yet to move in yet. Sigh.<br />
I know that God has a plan, and He knows best. It turned out we needed to put more cash down up front than we had expected, which was somewhat of a blow. Moving across country is expensive, ya'll! Still, because of the move in date being moved, we have been able to save up money and adjust to life here as well as we possibly can. For that I am so grateful.<br />
Even so, I pray we can move soon. Although it has not been bad in the least living at home again, I do miss having our own little space and routine. It will be so fun to move together. This is the first place we were able to actually look at and choose <b><i>together</i></b>. I am so excited to live there! It has full ceilings, a bathtub, large living room, and even a garage! To top it off, it's down a private (and very familiar) road unlike the apartment buildings we thought we might have to take. Praise the Lord!<br />
<br />
Besides <strike>impatiently</strike> patiently waiting for our apartment to give the go ahead, we have just been living one day at a time. Josiah is adjusting to a new job and I am adjusting to his new schedule. As hard as living in New Hampshire was, I won't lie and say I don't miss things about life there. Like seeing Josiah whenever I wanted, having him up for lunch every day, and being able to sip my coffee while watching him work on a sign or printing shirts. Those were the days. <3<br />
<br />
I am now 7 months (today) along with our little baby and I can't believe it! Where has the time gone? That is another reason I have felt a little anxious about moving. We plan to do a home birth and I would like to have a home to do that in *laughs*. We have about 8.5 weeks left until my due date. Even though that sounds like <b>nothing</b>, I am sure we'll be in by there. Right?<br />
<br />
I would appreciate prayers as my due date approaches. I do feel comfortable with my midwives, and the fact that I'll be having my baby at home, but I am still nervous. This is birth after all. Something I have never experienced and something that will surely try my trust in God. I know He will help me and guide me, but I am human and sometimes my human flesh whispers "what if".<br />
<br />

The true way to live is to enjoy every moment as it passes, and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
surely it is in the everyday things around us that the beauty of life lies. </div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My Grandma bought this crib back in the 70's when she was pregnant with her first baby. All 10 of them would later use this crib. <3 She bought it second hand and from my research I believe it is from the 1950's. I am so blessed to have inherited it and can't wait to see my little one sleeping in the same place my own Mama did. <3</td></tr>

<br />
Autumn is my absolute favorite season. The smells. The Feels. The colors. Everything about it makes my insides warm as the chilly air nips my nose.<br />
Now, I know that the first day of Fall doesn't officially begin for a few weeks now, but I am so ready for this time of year. Who else is with me?<br />
<br />
I thought it would be fun to do a little <b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">tag</span> </b>about Autumn so here we go.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>All About Autumn </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>T A G</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>1. What are your plans for this fall season?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As many of you know, I am due to have a baby in mid November. Right smack in the fall time. Thanksgiving will be nearing and the cold weather will have settled in for a spell. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My "plans" are to be settled in to my own apartment and preparing for my home birth. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>2. Which two things tell you that the Autumn season has begun?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Falling leaves and crispy mornings. How I love those cold mist filled hours. I prefer sunshine and cold but even the rain makes it feel so cozy. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>3. What are three things you love about the season?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The cold. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I do not like heat. I am much more for the crisp weather and watching your breath drift in to the night. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sweaters. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Who doesn't love a good chunky sweater? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Wood stove. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The warmth of a wood stove and the crackling of the flames is the most relaxing sight and sound I have ever experienced. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>4. What is your best memory from Fall?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh I have so many of those. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Picking out pumpkins to paint or carve. Pressing apple cider. Playing in the fallen leaves. Our annual family "Fall Party". </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My most recent favorite memory though is from last season. Living in New Hampshire was extremely hard on me mentally and emotionally. Summer there was miserable for me and I looked forward to Autumn with everything in me. Finally the time came and I felt so relieved. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One Saturday, in my big gray sweater and high top boots, Josiah and myself went to lunch at a local <a href="http://felicityestola.blogspot.com/2018/10/pickity-place-random-photo-shoot.html" target="_blank"><b>restaurant</b></a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
They do one menu each month and of course as it was October, the menu was Autumn themed. It was so fun and romantic. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Afterwards we strolled through an old cemetery (yes. I love old cemeteries) and took some pictures. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A day I so needed. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<i>5. What is your favorite scent from Autumn?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Apple. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Give me all the apple. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Spiced Apple. Apple Cider. Apple Pie. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So tangy and sweet and satisfying. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>6. What is the best way to enjoy the rain of Fall?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Snuggled in a fluffy blanket, sipping apple cider, listening to soft music, and watching the fire crackle. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>7. What is your favorite Autumn color?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Burnt orange. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>8. What is your favorite Fall inspired drink?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Apple cider. Though pumpkin spiced latte's may come in at a close second. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>9. What is your favorite food from Autumn?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hmm.... probably pumpkin pie or something with baked apple. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Of course I think that our family recipe of pasty is quite delicious and perfect for a cold autumn day. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh! And stew! Roast dinner! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I think perhaps I am hungry? But, what else is new. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>10. Which place would you love to visit in the Fall?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To be honest, probably *wait for it* New Hampshire. As much as I disliked living there I will admit that they have lovely Autumns. So much color. So crisp and clear. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
They also tend to have more Fall inspired activity options around like corn mazes and Apple Cider Donuts. Which, sadly, I never got to try. *sniff*</div>
