{homebody} snow day!

an unexpected sunday snow day turned our neighborhood into a postcard-perfect winter wonderland! {you can tell that texans don't have much experience with snow by the height of our snowmen...} 
hope you had a fantastic weekend!

{homebody} happy new year!

"some of the most life-shaping decisions you make
in this season will be about walking away from good-enough, 
in search of can’t-live-without."


we rung in the new year at our friends' house last night with a small group of good friends, way too much yummy food, and a very respectable amount of champagne. it was low-key and exactly what we needed after the crazy few weeks we've just had. 
today i'm feeling so thankful for another year with my husband, my family, and my friends. i'm thankful for both good and bad, for celebrations and growth opportunities. 2010 was a good year for us, and i have high hopes for 2011. resolutions have been made, black-eyed peas have been eaten, and the entire day has been spent in my pajamas {after all, it's tradition}.


happy new year! may 2011 bring you all the best!
