Fall is here!

I was walking down the street and I saw this leaf fall off a tree. I stopped and watched it lightly float to the sidewalk in front of me. I walked up to it, and stepped on it. What sound did it make? The wonderful and oh-so satisfying *crunch* that only the leave of Autumn bring.

I LOVE life because...Fall is here!

I absolutely LOVE the Fall season. It is just soooooo wonderful. One of the best parts of fall is crunching the leaves underneath your feet. There is just something so satisfying about hearing that sound of a crisp leaf under the soles of your feet. It has to be a good crunch though. It needs to be LOUD and exciting! Have you ever seen the Winnie the Pooh movie from 2007....at least I think it is 2007?  There is a part in the movie where Pooh, Piglet, and Rabbit are in the woods and there is fog everywhere. Well, Rabbit goes off by himself trying to prove that he can find the way out without help. As he is out his imagination runs wild and all the little things in the woods start to freak him out. Anyway, to get to the point, part of those noise is a Caterpillar eating a leaf. It makes a super loud, bone-crushing *crunch*. I feel like that is the acceptable sound of a crunchy leaf. It is just the best :)

Another great thing about fall is the color that the world transforms into. The beautiful reds, oranges, browns (yes browns), and yellows, are just so enjoyable to look at. If you have never driven up Little Cottonwood Canyon in the Fall, I highly suggest doing so. The leaves are just so pretty and you feel like that is what nature was intended to look like. Don't get me wrong, when everything is green it is nice to, but that usually means that it is pretty hot outside. Which brings me to my next point...

Fall means that the weather is cooling down. If you know me, you would know that I am warm ALL the time. It's a bit ridiculous really. I can go a very long time without having to wear a jacket outside. I absolutely love Fall weather because it isn't too hot and it isn't too cold. Autumn is my favorite time to do things outside because I don't have to worry about going outside and ending up in a pool of sweat after a few minutes. That cool Autumn breeze is just so refreshing that you just want to sit outside and soak it all in. It is just so peaceful outside that you can't help but feel like this is the reason you are here. To witness to beautiful things created on earth, even though there are so many "ugly" things in the world. 

Oh and just a lighter topic. I really love corn mazes. They are super fun especially when they are haunted. Mostly people don't like being trapped in a giant maze of crops, but I find it rather enjoyable. I haven't been to many, but the times I have been it was really fun. So make sure you go to a corn maze this year, and always bring fun people along with you. That can make a big difference too. Welp, that is all for now. I hope you enjoy the beginning of Fall just as much as I am. Stay crispy my friends.

I LOVE life because...Fall is here!

Animals are the best!

So I'm just sitting in the Fine Arts Building, just sitting there minding my own business and I feel something wet brush against my cheek...it was a dog!

I LOVE life because...animals are the best!!!

Some people would have been disgusted with a random dog licking their face, but I was quite elated. It was a "seeing eye" dog, which I met last year in choir. A cute golden lab that is the nicest thing ever. I continued to pet the dog until his owner was done talking with the other person in the hall.

If you know me at all you should know my love of animals, especially dogs. There are dogs on campus and I always want to go and play with them. I put a photo of my puppy on here, and I love the crap out of her.
My little baby, Penny :)

Penny, my doggie, is the best pet I have ever had. She is a Pekingese with a cute little flat face and I can't get enough of her. We don't cut her like other Pekingese but she is ten times cuter the way we do it. One downside to living in a different place for college is that I don't get to see my Penny every day. Anyone who knows Penny can't help but fall in love with her. She is very energetic, and if you don't like her she will be all over you until you do :)

I know this is kind of a random and lame post but I'm waiting for a class and got bored. Seriously though, animals are the best. It doesn't really matter what happens during the day because when you go home to a pet, they are just glad to see you. Animals love you pretty much unconditionally, and that's something that seems to be hard for humans...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Pomsky.
One dog that I will definitely be getting someday is the Pomsky. It is a freakin cute dog that's a mix between a Husky and a Pomeranian. I always wanted a Husky slash Alaskan Malamute, but they always got so big and I just wanted them to stay little. Weeeeeeeeeell, they made it happen and I can now have that dog.

I suppose I should give a little shout out to cats. I really do like cats, just not as much as dogs. I do like that a cat will just curl up with you though. That's something I've tried to train Penny to do, but I don't think that is every going to happen. My little nephew, Dean, loves this cat that lives on his street. It is hilarious watching him follow it and pick it up once he catches it. It's a very patient cat ha ha. Kittens definitely get an A in my book though. Their little "meow" makes me melt...oh boy.

Welp, I don't care what you are, girl, boy, straight as board, gay as rainbow, or whatever; if you don't like animals you are pretty much dead inside...just kidding. But seriously...

Anyway, yep I love animals and I miss mine every day. Someday I'll live in a place where they allow pets. You can bet I will have a dog once that happens. Welp, that's all for now. Live long and prosper!

I LOVE life because...animals are the best!!!

I'm an uncle :)

Hello Everyone!

I am starting this blog because my wonderful sister Megan, suggested I do so. I think this will be a great thing, because lately I have been very pessimistic. I want to look on the more positive side of things, and so I shall on this blog. Some of the things I will write about may be funny, serious, or whatever really. It's just going to be a new experience and hopefully a therapeutic one at that.

Here goes my first blog post!...


Logan Christopher Suchan
I LOVE life because...I'm an uncle.

I cannot describe how much I love being an uncle. When my first sister got married I wanted her to have babies straight away. I was always jealous of others that had nieces and nephew, but now I get to rub it in other peoples faces ha ha. It just makes me happy having those little kids in my life again. After a certain set of cousins left Utah I felt like there was a void in my life, but now it's filled again! (I still wish those cousins never left though).

Right now I have two awesome little nephews and one beautiful niece, with another nephew on the way. Let me tell you a little bit about them:

Logan Christopher Suchan is the oldest nephew I have. I love this kid so much that it pains me he doesn't live close by anymore. Logan is a little ball of fire and can lighten any mood. I melt every time he says my name and he's getting even better at saying it now (Which is a little sad because I liked the way he said it before). Logan loves to play pretty much any sport and he is SUPER good at all of them. And he is only 2. He will be a big star one day, I know it. He also loves "choo choo's". Whenever he comes over to my parents house he always wants to play with the train set I had when I was little. I set it up for him every time he asks me too, who could resist really?  He's such a cute kid and I can't help smiling when I see him. He's getting so big and will be a fine young man.
Dean Kjar Worwood

Dean Kjar Worwood is my second nephew. Boy can this kid tire you out. He is full of energy and doesn't let you forget it. I had the wonderful opportunity to watch him last night, who doesn't love playing with kids? I felt very proud last night because he ate his dinner for me! I have never been able to get him to eat very much, and from what I understand neither can his parents ha ha, but he ate for me last night! He's almost 2 years old and just a cute little munchkin. I love his little smile and his funny little laugh when he is avoiding trying to talk. He is also very good at sharing food, he holds his food up to you until you take a bite, it's really funny. I love this kid and can't wait to see how he does as a big brother.


Paige Elizabeth Suchan
Paige Elizabeth Suchan is my first and only niece. Paige's little smile makes me soooooooo happy it's ridiculous. She isn't even a year old, but she has won my heart over. I got to see her a lot when she was born, but now I don't see her much. I do get lots of cute pictures and videos of her though. Making her smile and giggle was one of my favorite things to do. There is nothing better than a babies little laugh and bright smile. I love to just hold her and make her smile. Unless she poops...other people can take care of that. She did poop on me once...but I still love her with all my heart.

Well, there you have it. Through everything that happens in life there are these big chunks of happiness I call my niece and nephews. I LOVE life because....I'm an uncle.
