Yesterday was the first day that I felt fall in the air. It totally freaked me out but also totally got me excited about the things I love about fall. Us Polen's sure have been through a lot this summer and the fall is sure to bring its own trials, but there is something about the changing of seasons that brings triumph, hope, but also a bit of sadness. I live for summer; time on the lake, time in the sun, and lots of time with people that I love. Fall has become a favorite time for me though in recent years; the leaves, the cider, the doughnuts (cheat worthy), the orchard, the football, and the beginning of a new school year. Fall has been associated with newness for so long in my life now that it is also accompanied with excitement and a bit of nervousness. This year it is my last year of school, at least for a good while, the beginning of my medical social work experience, a new internship, a new and longer distance in my relationship and it is also the biggest fight my mom has had to face in her life. It is sure to be a season of trial, but I am hopeful that it goes by quick and we can all look back one day proud that we got through this season of life.
Though fall is in the air for sure, I am most certainly hoping for a few more heat waves before the frigid cold hits Michigan as it always does. In the mean time, I'll try to capture some of this warmth when it becomes impossible to think of weather above 30 in a mere few months.
Madre is enjoying her last few weeks of summer, too. She has an insane amount of appointments in the upcoming week/s that are keeping us all busy. She is doing s great job of staying active when she can and resting when she needs to. She is also trying to be very patient with us all as we try to become caretakers and help out with the house, Zach, and managing the logistics of the next months.
Hope you are all enjoying summer!
