Yesterday I bought tickets for Chris and I to go to Arkansas for Christmas. I don’t think I’ve been this happy in awhile. There’s nothin’ like a southern holiday and I’m so glad Chris finally gets to experience one. This will probably be the craziest Christmas, though, considering we’ll be flying from Salt Lake to Little Rock…for a week…then from Little Rock to Carmel, CA for about 5 days. Doesn’t sound too relaxing, but it will be the best Christmas in about 3 years. I’m so excited to see all of my family! I saw some of them at the beginning and end of the summer, but it was a very short visit each time. Also, my best friend, Sasha, is having a baby in a few days and I can’t wait to meet Harper when I go home! I am looking forward to all the goodness Arkansas has to offer, and to seeing old friends and family. Just a couple months!

scarves and s’mores
This is my most favorite time of year, not because of Halloween, but because I really, really love scarves. Sadly, this won’t last too long before the snow comes in freezing us to death. Until then, I’m excited about the beginning of yummy treats, campfires, s’mores and good friends. I’m also excited because this season has marked the return of my favorite tv shows. Dexter, Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars. (Looking at that list it would seem as though Dexter is definitely out of place, but it also holds a dear place in my heart.) I hope during this season you all are spending time with friends and family enjoying haunted houses, hay rides, corn mazes and candy. That’s all.
sleep? who needs it…
sitting here, unable to sleep.
isn’t it funny how sometimes you try to get away from something,
then that’s the only thing you want?
i yearn for home.
i’m not wanting to move back there,
but i want to be there.
i want to see my family,
especially the new addition.
i want to see my sister.
she is so gorgeous.
a bonafide rarity.
i want to see her grow up.
help her make the right decisions.
i want to lie on the grass and soak up the southern air.
when it’s warm.
life has given me amazing opportunities,
and i wouldn’t trade them for much…
just for arkansas to be a little closer to utah.
