{gratitude: holiday edition} 

Lately I’ve been grateful…

For my mother’s nativity set.

For mistletoe kisses.

And guitar strings.

For the comfortable joy of being home for Christmas.

And the sparkle that comes from being with the people you love.

For dogs underfoot.

And for feet covered in henna.

For special moments with my sisters.

And the sweetness of Hannukah lights and David stars.

And for my Santa, who always insists on rocking this holiday hat.

However you celebrated, I hope you had a wonderful holiday, friends!

{Thankful}

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.

Happy weekend, friends! Are you cyber shopping or holiday decorating over the next few days?

{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.

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.
