two days ago.

the weather was finally not 10000 degrees outside!

opened the windows. 

lit my pumpkin spice candle 

C R A F T E D.. 

relaxed. 

...............

 mr. wilson & i spent the rest of the day walking around, shopping, talking & eating.  
           

got these cute little guys to add to our coffee mug collection.

 

 

...............

we've been through some rough patches. 

but i'm thankful for the roughness.

we are new & different. 

i'm learning that brokenness is sometimes necessary. 

i know a lot might not understand or agree, but in my heart i have a peace. 

 i am thankful for the chance to understand grace & forgiveness, as painful as it might be to get there.

birthday week!

eek! it's officially that time of the year. you know.. the best week in March :)

officially 2 days until my 25th birthday. 3 days until evan's!

a little overwhelmed at the thought of that, so for now i'll bask in the giving of coupons for such festivities.

what a perfect way to start the celebration.

FREE starbucks..ahh!

{this is why you should ALWAYS get on an email list for your favorite places}

p.s. we are pretty pumped that our car insurance rates will be going down this year.

we win!

60 days & counting

so thankful for this man & all the things he continues to teach me.

thankful for his patience with me, everyday.

{i'm a bit of a brat at times}

he cooks me dinner.

he waits until 8 to eat dinner with me so i can work out before.

he loves burgers like i do.

he lets me take over his tv to watch american idol.

and he does british accents with me whenever we want.

he makes me laugh, so much.

and he loves jesus.

looking back at this time last year, i had no idea that i would be blessed with such a great friend.

Happy 60 days & counting, Kenny!
