sparkly sugar cookies and candy cane milk

it snowed on the first of december! so beautiful, everything is white and soft now. there are still dogberries on the trees. the red looks lovely covered in white.
i am going home on friday for a week before exams. to cuddle and watch christmas movies and decorate trees and bake gingerbread and walk in the snow and have snowflake eyelashes and snowstorm kisses.
sorry that picture is so terrible, i didn't have my camera when i went for coffee and had to use my blackberry. i had a delicious sugar cookie covered in pink sparkles and a hot candy cane milk. it was delicious, but i ate too much cookie and drank too much milk and hurt my little tummy. how does santa do it?

enchanting

i want my life to be beautiful

beautiful engagement

once wed

snowfall cold

today i woke up in my warm and cozy bed and looked out the window..

   

and saw snow!!

so i opened my door in my flannel pyjamas and took a little picture as the snowflakes swirled around.

after class i had a little ice cream treat. i couldn't resist!

but, i did get put into the entire second act of the production we're doing , which is very exciting!

i am going home to see my baby this weekend for his birthday which i am very excited about also. his gift is my favorite i've ever given anyone.
what are your plans for the weekend?
i hope you have a lovely time, whatever you do!
take care, stay sweet.
i'll post again soon, hopefully!

pumpkin carving

it's that time of year again

pumpkin carving, roasting seeds, walking in the chilly crisp air in mittens and scarves and hats. holding chapped hands and rubbing windburnt noses.

i still am only happy when i am at home. i really wish things were getting easier but they just aren't.

still, i have a lot to be thankful for and shouldn't be complaining. i'm just in a rough patch right now.

i'll try to comment as soon as i can!
love, love

a little more than heartache

i am sick sick sick, so i thought i'd share a few photos that have been keeping me feeling like there is beauty outside my fever.

autumn falling

finally, finally, home for a weekend. a short two-night stay. but it was worth the eight hours of travel, even for such a little bit of time.


new coat, new shirts, endless kisses and hugs and cuddles. homemade meals: cooked dinner, pea soup, arrowroot dessert, shortbread cookies, yummy noodles.

walks in the woods to hidden places with tall grass and big trees. autumn cold, bundled in mittens and scarves. handholding to stay warm.


snuggly beds and sleep-in mornings. love notes in boxes. wrist kisses.


love, love
