lists

i have a lot to be thankful for and even more things to smile about. i'm going to list a few things that fall under those two categories rather than write about them in detail. lame, i know, but don't we all resort to blog style list making every now and again!?


1. Dead Man's Bones I cannot get enough. This is the perfect music for autumn. (ryan gosling isn't too bad on the eyes either.)

2. Grapefruit Body Butter from the Body Shop - A very sweet gift received in the mail today from an even sweeter friend (Ms. Stevie Parker) from Chicago.

3. Multiple weekends in a row spent with good friends. Celebrating new marriages, birthdays, and new life directions. 

Amanda & Mile's Wedding

Dean's Going away party

4. Following through on a daily routine of bible reading, writing, exercise, reading for pleasure, and the like. Two thumbs up for heading down a road of "mind, body, soul" wholeness. 

5.New frames

Cheers!

let's dance

 i've never been the type of girl who plans out every detail of her wedding or picks out her baby names years in advanced (i may have one name in mind, but that's not the point) but... we all have our moments. on my drive home yesterday i was listening to "in my life" and i fell in love with their lyrics all over again. when the song came to a finish, i found myself creating a wedding playlist in my head. i hope you like these songs as much as i do. 

here are a few that made the cut:

number one: "in my life", the beatles

number two: "you make me feel like dancing", leo sayer

number three: "you make me feel so young", frank sinatra
