{three little things} thanksgiving

there are so many for sure, but today i'm thankful for 

1. good friends 
2. loving family and 
3. the chance to spend time with some of them this thanksgiving!

{bonus thankfulness: hooray for being at the thanksgiving day game to watch RGIII and our redskins beat the cowboys!}

{memory lane} ann

the world is short an exceptional person today. one of my favorite persons ever, in fact. 
i haven't known her long, in the scheme of life. nine years, maybe. or less. long enough to know that i adore her. long enough to know that she was lovely. loving. witty. intelligent. strong. adventurous. and damn good at bananagrams.
she will be missed. beyond missed. beyond words.
