lists // 2

missing the most currently:

+ my big brothers

+ my one-in-a-million Hannah

+ Goldendale and the Columbia Gorge

+ piano and voice lessons every Wednesday with the best and most amazing music teacher in the world!

+ my horse

+ Mt. Adams 

+ small town life

looking forward to:

~ Thomas's arrival in exactly 20 days, (and Sarah's arrival just a few days later.)

~ Turning 18 in 20 days. :) it's a little frightening at the same time, though.

~ Christmas, and the holiday season in general

~CHRISTMAS MUSIC. actually, I've already been listening to it since last December... :) But now I can listen to it openly and my family can't complain.

~ Lydia being home in a few weeks.

~swing dancing tomorrow night in a 40's costume.

~ Hannah's visit (!!!!!!)

not excited about:

+  the cold weather that came unexpectedly, (at least by me,) this week.

+ dealing with allergies more since the dogs are in the house more because of the cold.

+ "do you hear what i hear" playing frequently on my Christmas Pandora Station. It's one of the few Christmas songs i cannot handle.

my days are filled with lately:

~ laundry

~ reading late into the nights

~ watching littles and helping with school

~ planning and making Christmas gifts

~ more laundry

~endlessly picking up the house. (how does the same stuff end up strewn all over the house twelve times a day?!)

~ pinterest. (there. honesty, like i've  been talking about a bit lately. ;)

words that have caught my fancy lately:

+ wanderlust

+ dusk 

+brilliant
