kinda had a rough couple of days over the weekend.
nothing super-super major. life stuff. you know how it goes, right?
some tears were involved but so glad to have a loving, supportive fiance.
talks with my wise parents. prayer. journal-writing like whoa. extra cups of coffee.
i have always been a firm believer of writing out thankful or happy lists especially when life is not the smoothest.
besides the ones above, here are other things that top my list...
1. books like Clockwork Angel and Divergent that rock my fiction reading world
2. getting a ton of mail after a week and half long trip
3. chunky rings
4. a 16-year old sister that craaaaacks me up with her ridiculous jokes and voices
5. Chicago and my best friends that live there
6. hot apple cider
7. re-watching hilarious Flip video clips from the roadtrip
8. updating the Much Love, illy Facebook page (finally! got around to doing this!)
9. the movie She's the Man
10. the temps falling low enough to pull out the boots but not the coats and gloves
much love.
p.s. don't miss out on this week's giveaway by Ellarye Boutique!
