so close

it's crunch time

there's a week and a half of classes left

before finals

which includes a debate

2 papers

and a LOT of art projects

and i still have so many christmas movies to watch

and so much peppermint bark to make...

...oh it's that time of year again : )

happy thanksgiving!

i'm snuggled at home

in my robe

with a mug of hot chocolate

and so much to be thankful for

like...

my family

my bennett

my friends

my life

my faith

my health

bennett's health

...i could just keep on going

i hope that everyone has a wonderful

relaxed

and turkey-filled thanksgiving day

christmas wish list

if santa happens to read my blog

here are a few hints...

if only...

(anthropologie and urban outfitters)

today was a wonderful fall day

the weather was beautiful

so bennett and i went to the park

to eat lunch

and read one of my favorite christmas short stories

(which i think everyone should read)

and we are now sitting in a warm coffee shop

drinking hot christmas beverages

doing greek homework (benn)

and blogging/dilly dallying (me)

and tonight i get to decorate our christmas tree with my roommate

and then go see bennett play a house show.

christmas is so close

so close

p.s. i watched cold mountain with bennett last night

and it is a phenomenal movie.

if you haven't seen it, you should probably go rent it this weekend.

just saying.

happy holidays

can you believe it?

thanksgiving is a week from today!

and that means that christmas is so close

and christmas is my favorite

because the music makes me almost cry

and everything looks so much more beautiful under christmas lights

and egg nog is just so wonderful

and christmas parties are the only parties i like

and i get to sleep under the decorated tree...

new header

a little change to my little blog...

what do you think?

oh hello, i love you

(sweater, boots, and slip from anthropologie)

karlie

i'm off to chattanooga

to spend some time with my best friend!

have a wonderful weekend

something lovely

i am in love with these photos by cedric bihr

lately...

sometimes this is all you can do

halloween is a wee bit overrated

i ended up having a weird halloween

we didn't really do anything we had planned on

(besides the pumpkin fest which was wonderful)

but we at least dressed up for a little bit

i was a garden gnome

he was a cuman

(which is a cat-human...don't ask)

so, that's that.

christmas, here we come
