wow, just wow

Can we all please take a second to appreciate the all around amazingness of this picture?

We just got back from my parents for Christmas and on our last night my Mom handed me a CD of all my senior portrait pictures. Oh joy! I honestly, barely remember this day. I couldn't remember the clothes I wore, the way I did my hair or make up...so I was pretty excited to pop it into my computer and take a little walk down memory lane.

Haha! I for real laughed out loud. And then quickly covered my mouth with my hand as to not wake Husband, who would surely wonder what was so hysterical, and inevitably end up seeing these incriminating photos. 

I wasn't sure I wanted to share the year because then I might be able to get away with saying it was a REALLY REALLY long time ago, but the truth is, it wasn't that long ago. Like, only 6 1/2 years ago.  If only I could interview myself on this day. Find out exactly what in the world was going through my head...but mostly do some pleading. 

Please past Glenna, PLEASE, rethink the ugly gollumn strands you curled on the top of your head? 

I am begging you!!!

December in a nutshell

These are just a few pictures to represent the Holiday season as it happens in the B home.
I'm not going to lie, it's been an emotional month. There's a lot on Husband and I's plate right now and sometimes the stress and hurt and noise of it all makes it hard to enjoy all the wonderful that life is offering us as well.
Focusing on all the blessings and tender mercies in my life.

And because this may be the last post I do before Tuesday, Merry Christmas!

december

Well, my little brother left on his mission this last Wednesday. {I miss him} My sister started her 2nd round of chemo the day before Thanksgiving. We decided we're going to move. Wait for it, we don't know where to yet. I've registered for classes next semester. Your guess is as good as mine whether I'll survive with my sanity, but let's try to stay optimistic. I just celebrated my 25th birthday. Most days I feel much older than that, and not always in a good way.

And guess what? Tomorrow is December 1st. 

Merry Christmas, everyone.
