family love

sometimes i forget how much i miss my family.

i mean i miss them all the time.

but when i make a trip home to dallas,

and i walk in the front door of my house,

and i breathe in the smell of my family,

and see my {crazy, attention-crazed} sweet puppy,

it makes me realize i miss them even more than i can describe.

yup. we look gooooood.

families just know the right way to love.

it's pretty stinking great.

thank you southwest airlines.

embrace it yall. : )

simply smile

it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing."

cheesey i know.
but a good for a tuesday.

monday morning coffee time.

 

have you seen the super fun city-pride mugs starbucks is making now?

i picked this one up this weekend while in austin

[in case that wasn't obvious...]

 for my cousin's wedding.

 

 my sophomore year of high school, my high school choir traveled to washington DC.

in one [of manyyyy] local starbucks, i picked up a mug that had illustrated monuments all around it for my sweet history lovin' granny.

even now, when the cold weather starts rolling back in,

she gives me a call to say she's pulled out my mug.

[i love when things are more than just things.]

 

a cup [or 2] of coffee in my

new super fly coffee mug 

makes my {monday morning lovely}. 

 

 

shirley temples

i love road trips, 

especially when they take us through the beautiful hill country of texas,

especially when there are sonics to stop at along the way.

 

ya, i'm a little eccentric at times.

what can i say??

cute boys make me crazzzzy! ; )

dr. pepper.

a classy drink for a classy guy.

: ) 

cherry sprite,

or, for those more sophisticated individuals,

a shirley temple.

what is your favorite happy hour indulgence?
