the good part of winter

there are few awesome things about winter that everyone can appreciate

one of those awesome things is snow

snow sure is fun to photograph 

and play in

and fight in

...not drive in

but oh how i fell in love with michigan that weekend, for its snow and its biting cold weather. 

 i even fell in love with the snow once it was packed into my boots 

5 years time

well

yeah, i have been all sorts of distracted lately

but i am finally sharing these with you

my sister and brother in-law

all in one weekend! 

 fiona time! 

 and four of my best friends all watching SNL together 

Moving Monday:

its still monday. an hour to go. a successful day.

relatively speaking. 

isn't this the best?

 

one of those weekends:

-where everything falls in to place just perfectly

-when you get to see everyone you need to see in a matter of 5 days

-where states that separate you from favorites go away

-where you spend zero time sleeping and all the time laughing and making new jokes

-when you remember that all you need in life are your best friends

and the best friends start with these four girls below: 

i am one happy girl when i realize my friends are the greatest. and funniest. and most obnoxious. 

and i am one happy girl when i get to go home to Georgia with Madeleine!
