♥ rest & be thankful.

happy thanksgiving :)

there is so much to be thankful for this year.

here are a few highlights.

i am thankful that i got to share one of the happiest days

of my life with my sister.

...for the breathtaking sunsets i got to see,

and someone to share them with.

...for my beautiful mother who i hope to one day be just like,

and on whose arm my name is permanently tattooed.

...for the very best friends a girl could ask ever for.

...for the chance to see the red sox and tom petty

so much closer than i ever dreamed i would.

..for the most steadfast & loyal of pets, charleston chu,

who was with us for fourteen years and is sorely missed.

..for my amazing family full of the kindest individuals i have ever met.

..for the chance to write this blog everyday.

...and the new friends that i have made because of it.

for my kitty daughter, talula, who let's me hold her like a baby

even though she hates it. (note the claws in my back.)

..and lastly, for the bar in my closet, which still manages

to hold the weight of all dresses without breaking.

what are you thankful for this year?
