in no particular order:

highlight of my week so far: skyping with my favorite west virginian. miss him.

don’t let me buy any more clothes. 

one of my new years resolutions:

shop in my own closet! 

love can mend your heart, but only if you’re lucky now.

you want the moon? just say the word and I’ll throw a lasso around it and pull it down

merry christmas babies. xoxo

i have a lot to be thankful for. big things, and little things. but. anyway…i thought i might as well write some things down? so… 

i’m thankful:

that i have a warm bed to sleep in

that i have people to bake cookies with

for grandparents, their love, their sincere desire to always help, their genuine care for their grandkids, and making sure we know how important family is. and i’m just thankful for how hilarious old people can be… i have the coolest grandparents.

for parents/brother bear/mare/family in general. family is amazing, and i am thankful for mine. don’t know what i’d do without ‘em.

for music. it makes me… me, it makes me happy, it sets my mood, it makes me wanna dance, and sometimes it makes me want to cry, but there was a quote about music that i like…. “music is what feeling sounds like”… and you kind of can’t explain how music makes you feel sometimes… i just know that i love it.

for puppies! and my dog. dogs just know how to be your friend. they are always forgiving, they don’t hold grudges, they know when you are sad, and they are such loving animals. i love the little miko puppy, crazy as she is.

the beautiful world, and earth that we live in. how the sky looks when the sunsets, and the trees look when they are covered in fresh snow or have changing fall leaves on them…. or sunrays, or, whatever. we just live in such beauty. and i love the mountains.

for chocolate. yum!

for all the great people i’ve had the opportunity to meet. i feel like i’ve learned something from all of them.

for fresh flowers.

for warm showers….. didn’t always get that luxury in china.

for education.

for our senses. seriously, i wouldn’t want to lose any of them!

for photography…. photographs, they help me remember! looking back at photographs brings back so many memories and emotions, and it’s one of my fave things.

for laughter….. the best thing.

that i have a roommate that will dance in the kitchen with me, joke with me constantly, talk about boys with me, and just be a super weirdo with me sometimes.

for kisses, cuddles, hand holding, back scratching, the cute stuff.

that there are genuine people in the world.

for a dad that taught me how to ski, fish, camp, ride dirt bikes, hike…. mostly just love the outdoors.

for kids. they are so silly. and make me laugh.

for my beliefs. being able to know the purpose of life and what’s really important.

well, you get it. i could go on and on…. i’m thankful especially that i can be with loved ones, and share a thanksgiving with them today. 

happy thanksgiving lovelies
