Finally Fall 🎃🕸️🍂🍁🍃

I'm quite glad to report 2 things; Gabe is feeling better and is very much himself again and we can finally go outside without becoming sunburnt( that's me) or sweaty( both of us). I'm trying to get him to take it easier but that's not something he easily accepts. He's one of those people who doesn't like being idle, which I understand, but I also don't want him wearing himself down again. Luckily he understands that I worry and has at least tried being more cautious with work but is still busting his ass. He explained everything his foreman wants him to do and I don't think it's reasonable to expect this of him at all. I mentioned to his foreman that if he comes home sick or hurt again I'm coming down there and busting heads. He swept me up in his arms before he left and it's the best feeling in the world; I want to do everything I can for him, keeping him happy and safe. It's going to be noticably colder tonight and honestly it's refreshing; though it's also wonderful sleeping next to a man who doubles as a heater on nights like these. The sound of the rain on the roof and the feeling of his arms around me as I fall asleep are so soothing and wonderful that getting up is always so unpleasant. Simple things like that have become so important that I honestly struggle to think of anything I want more. Another thing he and I agree on is that we want a simple, quiet, peaceful life and are trying our best to build that together. I think I've always wanted that but the desire for it only intensifies as I get older. I'm not sure he's always felt that way but he absolutely does now and it makes so much sense. As he put it we've both been through enough in our lives we crave and deserve peace now. Granted we still have bad things happen and problems always come up but not having to bear everything alone makes it so much easier. We carved the pumpkin he bought me and it looks great. The picture above is the result of our combined efforts. It was really just fun to do; I wasn't super concerned with how it would look but it turned out great anyway. Again, little things become so important. I wish we didn't have to work and could just spend all day every day together but that's not possible; I'll make do with him texting me evey time he has a break but I live for the moments we have together. Drinking coffee and snuggling with him is honestly as close to a perfect moment as I think I've ever had. Mom rather kindly brought me a pumpkin too; she knows her daughter. 😉 I'm going to keep this one and actually use it to cook; I have a few recipes that sound incredible and I want to try and make them. I don't always make our meals from scratch but more and more I think I should; it's healthier and I would know precisely what we're eating. That's enough for now; my lunch break is about over.
