Today I’m grateful for a Thanksgiving in the mountains with sweet potato casserole and French-press coffee. I’m also grateful that I can snag a Black Friday deal from the comfort of my futon (and stretchy pants) via the power of a smartphone.

Congratulations to my brother Jeff and his Katie Beth on tying the knot this weekend! It was a beautiful wedding, and a day filled with dancing, twirling, and happy tears.
Proud of you as you start this new journey and move to Texas as man & wife.
You are both so loved!

Happy 1 year anniversary, you wonderful horsefolk!
May you enjoy many happy & blessed returns.
{6 Years!}
6 years of marriage, you guys! SIX! How amazing is that? And, as my mother used to add, “we still like each other!”
Today I am grateful for all those weekend days we spent exploring Savannah, GA as newlyweds.
For special occasions to celebrate the people we love.
For mountain trips.
And hiking adventures.
For graduations.
And for holidays.
For fun vacations.
And time spent at home.
I’m grateful for this comfortable love that binds us together.
How lucky I am to be in love with my best friend.
“If it’s half as good as the half we’ve known, here’s Hail! to the rest of the road.”

Dear Scott, what a year it’s been! I can’t wait to spend another 6 years with you. I’ll love you when we’re 100.
Love, your K. Belle
{Dear Sister}
Dear Sister, I cant say “dear little sister” since you have officially surpassed me in height…
It’s your birthday! and I am so proud of you.
You are a strong and brave woman.
You’ve got smarts.
And a kind and generous heart.
You make good decisions.
And you make hearts lighter with your laugh.
You are beautiful and important.
You. Are. LOVED.
Happy birthday, beautiful song! Thanks for letting me be your big sister and your friend. You’re the coolest, and I’m the luckiest that we get to share ~60 of our DNA. Now let’s celebrate and eat something sweet!
