a little holiday cheer

Here's a bitty little tree I made for Andrew & me. 

All of the ornaments came from Target! There are little mushrooms and music notes everywhere. 

It now has a few more presents taking up space, but that's not 

such as bad problem to have,

is it? :)

How perfect is this? I saw it at Barnes & Noble and as soon as I saw the red velvets 

on the cover, I was sold. I'm a little over the moon for 

red velvet anything. 

I can't wait for him to open his gifts! It's going to be great. 

My friends know me so well!

And a message for everyone before Christmas:

Thank you for reading. You all are fantastic and give me motivation to keep posting. I love

each one of you. I hope you have the merriest holiday possible!

the reunion

After over a year of separation, never being in the same zip code, and only communicating via phone, I am beyond happy to report that one of my best friends in the world, Lindsay, and I reunited!

I made the trek westward last weekend and nothing could have prepared me for the ridiculous joy of the collective shrieking that greeted me when the door opened. 

It's like we never separated. We made sangria, watched movies, and picked up right where we left off. 

Gift exchanges and family meals and catching up. My weekend was fabulous. 

To me, that's what makes a true friendship. One that doesn't skip a beat. Distance doesn't stop a real friendship, but distance does make the heart grow fonder. 

I am so happy.
