family&friends.

this is what happened wednesday-sunday...

first thing wednesday morning was Delaney's thanksgiving school performance where she was the cutest indian EVER. and then we went to lenny's burgers for lunch. and then went home and began to prepare food.

the next day was THANKSGIVING. up to aunt holly's to prepare. I made lemon bars, brownies, pumpkin pie filling, and pealed a crap load of apples and potatoes. :] Leonardo helped with the pie crust. and grandma and I made homemade rolls.
and it was delicious.
My family is pretty normal. obviously...

all of friday was spent working. :] ahh black friday crazyness.

and saturday was spent working and visiting dad. then back home to make ginger bread cookies with Delaney. :]

hhaha.

and then came the spot. and B's birthday.
the five, pizza, cake, brownies, blankets, coldness, having to pee, attacking glowing mouth dogs, attacking rachel, the lake of death, mr. pine, rules, candles, stories, WAX, "I accidentally just kissed your ear.." "I was going to ignore that." hahaha. did I just break the rules?

:] :]:]:] I love.

CHRISTMAS.

okay I have held off on the Christmas music for as long as possible.
I can't do it any longer. :]

ENJOY:]
and have a beautiful Christmas season:]
it is, after all, the most wonderful time of the year.

listen and you will hear.

"catch my disease." (if you listen closely in that song someone sneezes.)(it's my favorite part.)(just fyi)

I miss my family, my best friends, and the heat of summer. But I love learning, my new discovered friends, and the cool of winter.

life and time has a way of amazing me, daily. I find things fixed, renewed, changed, and joyful. I find myself wondering and exploring and when I go far enough and listen deep enough I find myself. of course You are always there when I do. kindly reminding me that You were there all along and all along You knew what I was doing and what I needed. Lately situations have presented that I never thought would and decisions were made in the direction of true growth and understanding of myself. It has become painful to look back on who I was and what I did. the only direction I can move now is forward. So if you want to come with me that's okay but this time it is your turn to follow and mine to lead. this is not for you, finally it is for me, and as much as that hurts it is what I need and maybe what you need too. I am leaving you behind. but that doesn't mean I don't hope you follow...

"Back to where we started, losing who we were."

ma vie.

les photos et postsecrets expliquer, pour le plus part, ma vie.
a cette moment. je pense.

je suis content. je pense.

"loving all those things that keep me wrapped so tight."

"why do we break the promises we make?"

"leaving you behind."

j'ai comprend. je pense.

"inside the absence of fear."
