It's That Time of Year


And no, I don't mean Christmas. It's Autumn, one of my favorite
times of year. The mornings are crisis and cool, the sun warms the air just right, all the hooligans are in school, and the leaves are starting to turn colors.

I love this time if year. Now don't get me wrong, the other seasons of the year are great as well, but there's just something magical about watching the leaves change color, knowing that you're not going to bake in the heat of summer, or freeze in the cold of winter, and there's almost a magic that comes at only this time of year.

Right now, Richard and I are visiting his parents, so we're not actually at home, but it's still a place where we feel at home. I'm sitting at my mother-in-law's islando as I'm writing this entry. Richard and his father have gone to fill up the GTO with fuel, so that it can be driven, his mother is doing the bills, and I'm writing till I'm needed. I love coming to my in-law's, it's a place where we can both relax and help out.

There are a lot of things that I love about Autumn, but I think my favorite thing about it this year is that I have one of the best jobs ever! I work as a library aide in one of the best library systems ever! I love my job, I love my co-workers, and I know what I want my future career to be. I want to be a librarian I had flirted with the idea for a little while this summer, while I was freaking out about not having a job, along with the idea of being a teacher.

As soon as I started my job at the library, I knew what it was that I wanted to do. I wanted to be able to work in a place that I love and feel like it's a home away from home. And all of my co-workers are amazing, they're geeky, weird, funny, and we all fit in with each other.

This has been my life, and I love it so far. I'll continue working at my library and start working on getting my Master's in Library Science.

Talk to you later,
