I believe I’ve mentioned before, I don’t particularly like October. I love fall, but in Alaska, fall is typically over once October hits.

Leaves have fallen off the trees.
It’s dark.
There isn’t snow.

It’s also when the first round of PFDs come out – this is a positive & a negative. It usually means money has been way too tight & now going into the stores are awful … because everyone now has a bit of cash to spend. The stores treat it like another Black Friday.

Also:
22 years ago I got married in October.
18 years ago my husband chose to work in a location requiring him to live elsewhere.
17 years ago he left.

As much as I want to, I don’t particularly like October. But this year God had a different plan. I believe this is the beginning of the evidence of the changes He has been preparing me for. It is 5am on October 3rd in the Seattle Airport – mom, Christine and I are off for an adventure. We actually made the tickets a month ago and we’ve been able to look forward to October coming. It’s been fun.
