You're Worth

On Monday, I drove down with some friends to Orlando.

And this is what we did yesterday:

FYI. The guys are ridiculously talented (Zac on Guitar and harmony, Clayton on tambourine and harmony, and Garrett on banjo).

And there will be more to come.

So.much.fun.

Christmas Eve

Yep. It's officially Christmas eve.

We're all gathered in the den with a fire and Christmas movies (and...laptops...we're so 21st century).

I'm currently putting off wrapping my gifts. (I'm a Christmas ever wrapper most of the time...at least my Type A sister gets it done ahead of time so we actually have presents under the tree. But I do like wrapping presents! Only...I like it when I have all the supplies...and I don't always have them...which is why I procrastinate.)

I love Jesus Christ.

I love my family.

I love Jesus Christ.

Christmas at the Summit

Savanna, Graham, and I went to the Summit last night.

We completed Christmas shopping and we felt AWESOME.

We also ate at Izzo's Illegal Burrito...which was also awesome.

And then we wandered around Anthropologie (which...always is the epitome of Christmas, right?).

The Summit has a lighting ceremony in November, I believe. And trust me, any mall in Birmingham is THE place to be if you want to feel like it's Christmas.

The Summit is my favorite because of the stores AND the fact that it's outside (it's 60 degrees here, y'all).

Merry Christmas!!!

oh. it's so close.

all i want to do is throw on cozy socks, a big sweater, sit in front of a fire, listen to christmas music, and drink hot tea/coffee/chocolate/wassail.

p.s. i'm in love with my new life is good tshirt. most.comfortable.thing.ever.

a baby

It's funny and yet not funny at all how a baby can bring joy and love to a room...or a group of lives. Adam and Emily (basically my non-blood siblings) were blessed with their first beautiful baby, Samuel.

When we arrived at the hospital, we were greeted with hugs and tears of happiness (well. the tears were definitely my Mom and Laura, the new Aunt). My brother, Graham, is this sweet little boy's Godfather...so this was a special, special day for him too!

We then walked into the hospital room and there could not have been more love in one room. Yes, Adam and Emily were tired...but it didn't matter. Samuel was healthy and beautiful and we all couldn't be happier.

Man. New life is such a beautiful thing.

We love you baby Samuel!

And we LOVE your parents, too!

A Tree, a tree, a TREE.

There's definitely no place like home...or the smell of a fresh cut Christmas tree.

ALL IN

Here we go, Auburn!

I can't tell you how much I love my tigers.

They're awesome.

And I love me some Auburn football.

I didn't get an Iron Bowl ticket in my 'mini-season' pack...and then decided instead of spending money on a ticket, I'd stay home for a couple more days and work on my portfolio and project.

But boy oh boy (!) do I wish I was (were??) there!

In homage to my 2nd home and our favorite fall past time:
