countdown

5 more days...

it's the most wonderful time of the year!

it's christmas eve!

of all the days in the year,

today is my absolute favorite

i don't know if it's the parties

or the food

or the christmas eve service at church

or driving around looking at all the lights

or snuggling up with my sisters

and trying to fall asleep but we can't because we're too excited...

whatever it is

today couldn't get much better

(unless bennett was here of course)

i probably won't be blogging much for the next few days

since it's christmas and all

but i hope everyone has the most wonderful christmas!

bad blogger

i'm sorry i haven't posted anything in a while

it's just that not much has been going on

other than last minute shopping for my family

and trying not to get the bug that's going around

and that's about it

mostly i'm just ready for christmas

and then i'll try to keep myself occupied until the 31st

when i fly to tampa

early in the morning

to finally be with bennett

because i miss him a whole lot

and we're in love

and this is my favorite picture of him

that i keep in my planner

merry christmas eve eve eve!

red lips

i met up with the lovely stephanie for dinner last night

and we ate

and talked about our lives

and exchanged christmas gifts

and talked about our futures

and other exciting things

and here's the thing about stephanie

i absolutely love her

she has become one of my good friends really fast

and she is one of the most encouraging, honest people i know

AND she looks amazing in red lipstick

(see photo below)

so i went out and bought some tonight...

i wasn't so sure about it at first

but i think it's growing on me...

sad day

bennett left for tampa this morning

and i don't get to see him again for 2 weeks and one day

christmas without the love of my life?

it's a terrible, terrible thing

christmas date night part 2

last night

bennett took me to franklin to eat at one of my favorite restaurants

and then we drove around the little town and looked at christmas lights

it was probably one of my top 5 favorite date nights

because bennett is my favorite

and christmas is my favorite

and downtown franklin is my favorite

life is good

a little photoshoot

today

my wonderful friend stephanie came over

and she took a bunch of photos for one of her classes.

she is an incredible photographer and a beautiful person

here are some of the results!

rocking around the christmas tree
