Update

I just went through my list and realized I've done a few things in the past couple months and not checked them off.

• Go apple picking

I took Grace and Bri (two freshmen at JMU) to Carter Mountain Orchards in Charlottesville. It was great! We picked Fuji apples and enjoyed sharing an apple cider donut. Also, I've decided that I might really enjoy marrying a farmer. Farms (or orchards) are just so beautiful! I have a dream of someday living on a farm for a little while, even if it's just a week.

We had a hard time getting the apples out of the trees because all of the lower branches were picked over. Grace climbed to the top and handed them to me :)

• Find a church in Harrisonburg

I decided on a church for the year! I am going to Greatest Freedom Ministries. It's a small non-denomination church, very family oriented. There are A LOT of little kids in comparison to the size of the church. It's cute! The spirit of God is so alive there too. I'm excited to worship there this year!

• Make a pie from scratch (I half did this one!)

Ok, so this pie crust is not from scratch, but the rest of it is :) I've actually made four pumpkin pies in the past week. I'm getting pretty good at it! Actually, I love anything pumpkin during the Fall. If you've never tried pumpkin spice soy milk, I highly recommend it! And I do hope to make an entire pie from scratch (crust and all) sometime in the next year.
