A few of my favorite things...

So, it's that time of year again... my favorite 4 months. I don't really care much for Halloween generally, but I love the cool crisp air, the changing leaves that fall to the ground and dance in the wind, and the smell of pumpkin and cinnamon that lingers in the stores.... these are a few of my favorite things. Then, as if things couldn't get any better, the holidays come, and there's more leaves, more delicious smells, Christmas music, and the beautiful sight of falling snow that I get to enjoy living in Provo. So, to kick off the fall Joseph and I have a little tradition that we've done together ever since we were engaged. We drive through the Alpine Loop. To those of you who don't know, this is a road that winds up through Alpine canyon and you're surrounded by millions of colorful trees the whole way. This year we were just a bit early I guess, because the birch trees were just barely starting to change color... but last year we were late and many of the trees were bare. Luckily the view is beautiful whether we're early or late. Here are some pictures from last year's ride through the loop. I hope they make you as happy as they make me.
