Ahh....October is finally here (and gone by now). As much as I love the summer, it's Oct-Dec that earns my favorite time of the year award. There are many reasons why these 3 months are my favorite but lets just take this one month at a time.
When I was in high school and in the process of ordering my class ring, I chose October instead of June. We all know that the vast majority of students order their month of birth but the only reason I wanted October was for aesthetic reasons. I just liked the color for October better than June. Another simple reason I love October is the leaves on the trees are starting to turn colors.
The haunted houses and the hay bale rides have been a lot of fun too. I can remember when I was a little fella ...going on hay bale rides out in the country where there are people hiding in the woods.... talk about making you jump out of your skin....they wood scare the crap out of you. Just going down some of those dark roads was spooky all by itself.
The biggest and most important reason I love October is because this month was the time of year when I met my wife Shelly. I can remember going out to eat and then watching scary movies on TV. We were also married in October (29th) which gives even more meaning to why this is one of my favorite months.
Last but not least, October is when I started back to school. You know, the more I think about it, October is kinda like a reminder of events to me. Once Halloween is over you really start to see Thanksgiving and Christmas come to life. Now that..... my friend...... is by far.. my most favorite time of the year..... but hey.... like I said, one month at a time.
With that said, be on the lookout for the November story. Till then.
