southwestern flavah.



i just got back from a family vacation/reunion of sorts to phoenix, az.
um, phoenix is NICE this time of year! i absolutely love the grey skies in the pacific northwest, but to have 5 days of sunshine and 70-degree temps was divine. i absolutely love my family. not perfect, no not at all. but they're great. and i'm thankful for planes trains and automobiles that bring us all together.

with love,

favorites.



this shot is almost a year old (so, i guess that's kind of cheating the blog's mission... whoops) but i was cleaning out my old files today and couldn't resist. too cute not to share. here's why: a) it's one of my best friends with her little family and b) daddies who enjoy cuddling their babies are awesome.

more current shots to come, soon. (promise.)

what i miss.



so, hey!
i'm back. and it's a new year. and, yay! life is for living and i'm happy to live it.
realizing how blessed i am these days.

i had fun in new york, but when i stepped off the plane back on the west coast, it was a sigh of relief.
my life in oregon just fits like a glove. and i'm thankful.
it's good to be home, heck yes. but i've got a confession-
i do miss this cat. :)

have a great night. (go ducks!)
with love,
