This one's a bit of a cheat. I planned to take a picture of this, but the downpour and rushing around to meet deadlines prevented that so I included the one I took earlier this week. Seriously. These doors bring me so. much. joy!

Linking up with Rebekah over at A Bit of Sunshine!

[Week 52] & a half

Whoa.
It's Week 52 (and a few days).
More thoughts on the closing of the year and this little project here.

In the meantime... this is how I spent the last few days of 2013...(prepare yourself, we took a million pictures of the cutest niece ever)

SNOW!

(That was completely erased by 10am...)

(...After 5 straight hours of SNOWY CONDITIONS covered on the news)

{1} Waiting for familia to arrive. (Well, I doubt he was, but I was...and he was cute).

{2} After a cancelled flight, driving overnight across a few too many states to catch a connecting flight THEY'RE HERE!!!

Good Morning sunshines! :)

Caught the sunset through the shattered pane in the ferry terminal.

Out for a chilly Christmas Eve stroll

Hanna's First Christmas!! :) 

She opened presents like a boss.

& smooches under the mistletoe.

Merry Christmas! 

[12.26.2013]

Family picture time...which is no small feat.

And Hanna's confused wave at the truck that was driving past...awesome!

[12.27.2013]

Precious.

Seattle Trip!

*Janae and I practicing our duck-face modeling poses...*

Sleepy and quiet around here

First, two words: Chocolate Cheese. 

Second, January budget...check. 

Third, Loan #2... PAID.

Happy Happy New Year to you and yours!! 

Thank you for being a part of my 2013 journey.

{Sort of} 10 on 10 :: December 2013 {full of grace}

Well. The 10th arrived and I was a miserable mess.

Frustrated. Sick STILL Sick. Really frustrated.

I didn't surface from under the covers and kleenx and tears to touch the camera. 

But, seeing as I participated in 10 on 10 every single month so far this year... 

I couldn't leave December hanging. 

Rebekah's prompt of Candy Canes inspired me to document the beautiful Christmas wonderland this house has been transformed into thanks to the hard work of Kurt & Lisa & Nick. 

While a bit out of the box and not exactly on the tenth I'm naming this one Full of Grace. 

Because I've needed a lot of that this week.

Nick and I have a date with The Nutcracker 

Hopefully some snuggle time with my book.

Aaand, run 9 miles. Oh boy.
