an update + two photos for you

My Thanksgiving outfit
I decorated my room for Christmas
I'm stunned that it's already December, that 2012 has only one month left.  The time is passing too quickly.  It's running through my fingers, and I can't hold on to it.  School and work have kept me too busy to even pick up my camera - let alone blog - and I'm learning that maybe that's OK.  Sometimes, it's much better to tell your friends things rather than tell the internet.  Sometimes you just need to spend time with the people around you rather than the people you've never met.  But I thought I share a little update with you today:

goals 
I've already begun to make resolutions for next year - parts of me I want to change, things I want to become better at, goals I want to achieve.  It's exciting to plan projects and trips and goals.  I'll share those with you later.

weather  
It's been seventy degrees for the past few days this week.  This is not normal for December.  As much as I love warm weather, some snow would be nice.

adoption
It's almost been a year since "The Four" came home.  It's crazy how quickly the time has passed.  Most days, I feel like a family, tightly knitted together, becoming stronger everyday.  But, there are also hard days.  A few people have asked me to do an update post, and I will be doing that soon in a few weeks.

Christmas
Guys, Christmas is twenty days!  (Not like I'm counting down or anything...)  Even though I don't get out of school until the 20th, I plan on being rebellious and stop doing school so I can make Christmas cookies, wrap presents, and read Christmas books to the littles.  I plan on enjoying ever second of this Christmas season.

Look for more posts, as well as a little design work to the blog.  Happy Wednesday!

  2. I love your outfit! So cute. I have the exact headband, it's one of my faves :)
    I've already started my resolution list too! Twenty-thirteen should be a good year :)
    And I have to agree with the weather situation. I should be wearing boots, scarves and winter jackets. Instead it's just been converse, and hoodies :P

  8. your outfit and headband are super cute...as are you ;) I love how you made your room all festive too.

    70 degrees! and I thought it was warm here in the 50's for a winter. I know... snow would be so nice. We never get snow. :/

    I like your idea to stop school for a little while to slow down, bake cookies, and read Christmas books with your siblings. Sounds like a good plan. :D

    I'm looking forward to reading your goals for the new year and to reading your update on adoption! I haven't been able to take pictures much or blog either, I've been so busy, so I understand how your time has been so filled up, but thanks for this little update. I enjoyed it.

    Blessings!

  12. You're gorgeous and you wear gorgeous clothes and you take gorgeous pictures.
    Also - is that a curtain room divider dividing a room you share with one of your sibling's? Because that's ridiculously awesome and I've always wanted to do that.
