Pumpkin and pilots. Two things that have been on my mind lately. Pumpkin because, well, even the slightest glimpse of fall gets me excited for one of my favorite foods in the world! And being up North in September gave me that slight glimpse. I don’t care if it’s still 100 degrees here, it’s almost fall and I’ll eat pumpkin if I want to!

In case you didn’t know, Nick isn’t the only pilot in my life. Well, obviously. Almost all of my Air Force and Navy friends are pilots, of course. I guess I should say Nick isn’t the only pilot in my family. My sister Jaki is also crazy and also decided to strap on some wings and fly for a living. No. Thank. You. Anyways, there has been some fun stuff going on in the lives of my two favorite pilots. Nick started his final phase of training here in Meridian, which means that he is now on track to fly F-18’s! It’s what he’s always wanted to fly, so we are excited!

Blame Google if that’s the wrong picture. I know nothing about planes. (Hence why I have F-16’s– an Air Force, not Navy, jet– on my blog header).

My pilot sister just moved all the way across the earth to fly float planes in the Maldives, an island chain south of India. It’s a ridiculously beautiful and expensive honeymoon destination that I would kill to visit. And now she lives there. Flying this:

Oh wait, just one more because it’s oh so pretty!

Just look at that water. So jealous.

And now, back to pumpkin!

Mmmmmm, pumpkin, how I’ve missed you! I’m usually not excited for fall. I hate the cold and the thought of winter looming just around the corner. But winter in the South isn’t so bad, so this year I am actually excited for scarecrows and scarves and fuzzy boots! And more seasonal treats, of course.

    So some of my favorite cookies ever are oatmeal with white chocolate and cranberries inside. I can’t get enough of them, and sadly, we sell them at work homemade by a lady who knows her cookies, so I’m always getting into them. These look even MORE delicious than those cookies because of that yummy, fall-y pumpkin base. I love it!

    “Jaki’s blog is awesome! Makes me seriously jealous. I ask myself, do I want to fly fast and low, or fly in shorts and flip flops. It’s a toss up.

    Oh, and the JessFuel.com app is almost finished!!!”
