September Superlatives

I know this is so clichéd to say – but really.  Where the heck did September go?  One day, it was here, and the next (well, a day ago, to be exact) it was gone!

Love you and your husband’s posts about what you have learned from 100 days of marriage! It is amazing what I have already learned from only 90 days of marriage! Looking forward to October – fall, haunted houses, pumpkins, and marathons!!

September flew by! Feels like it was just a day ago that it was the start of summer – now it’s over! But I do love fall :) .

What about the cheating post?? Doesn’t that get a “Most controversial” title? :)

i loved your 1,000 days of marriage posts. it started some very interesting conversations between my hubby and me… and gave us a better understanding of each other and our relationship.

I like reading about that post too.

For someone who has been married for only 100 days, it’s good to read practical advice from another couple who is 1,000 days down the marriage journey. Thanks Caitlin

I really loved all of these posts, so I guess I agree with your superlatives! :)

October is going to be a GREAT month, so you’re right, BRING it!

I know, I wonder where Sept AND all of 2011 has gone!

Thanks for the recap of the month. I just posted Oct goals yesterday. I never do those but figured, what the heck. The year is almost over, may as well!

Your post about babies (including the comments) was pretty life-altering for me because I had the EXACT same concerns about having children. I desperately wanted kids, but I feared all the changes, plus I also got discouraged from hearing parents complain all the time.

At the same time, I’m 26 and fully aware that the ability to conceive is a blessing that I won’t have forever. The post really got me thinking, so I had a long talk with DH that night, and we decided we would start trying right away. Well, wouldn’t ya know it – once was all it took! Yesterday, we found out we’re pregnant! Didn’t expect it to happen that quickly, but we’re so happy it did :)

I was just thinking about this yesterday. September really FLEW by! I do feel like you just did this for August, but I definitely like that there’s already another one of these posts. I love being able to reread some great posts.
