September 9:

If you know me at all, you know I live for fall and winter. Unfortunately here in SC we don't get much of a winter... not by my standards anyways. My standards might be a little high, considering I am a Colorado Girl at heart. Thankfully it is that wonderful time of year where the weather starts cooling off a bit, and the leaves are going to start changing color soon. Hochi always jokes that instead of the "spring cleaning" that most people do... I do "fall cleaning" I am always my most productive and creative this time of year, because I can't help but be inspired by this weather.

Recently I have taken on being the Secretary and scholarship co-chair for the Shaw Spouses' Club (we recently joined the OSC and SSC). It's been a fun adventure so far, and I am really enjoying it and all the opportunities brings to the table.

I have also been hiking a lot more, mostly Congaree, but Hochi and I took a trip to Asheville and did some hiking in Dupont State Forest (fun fact, some scenes in the Hunger Games movies were filmed there!
We have been making an effort to go to more local places, trying a new place at least every two weeks or so. It has made living here so much more enjoyable. So far a favorite place of ours is Za's, an Italian place, definitely worth checking out.

It is the time of year where we have to start prepping for storms (looking at you Irma), so I am fully stocked up on MREs and Water. If it gets terribly bad I will probably leave the state. Who knows how that will go though. It it still too soon to tell.
Wish me luck, because chances are I will be weathering this storm alone.
Fly Safe,
Barb.
