just simple things | b+w

In the last few days, I have spent more time drank more tea, writing, and reading than I have in a long time.

and it's been good. simple. and sweet. and I have been loving b&w too. I used to really hate it, I know it's horrible, but there is something real, and raw about it. It captures the feeling in a photo.

and you guys have probably noticed the new design. I am so extremely happy, because this is the first design I have ever created myself. #happydance.

so what do you think?

a short video I want to share with you.

I was planning on posting something else today, but God had other plans.

I found this video on the purpose of life . and I was once again blown away by the GOSPEL and the beauty of it.

so, please I am asking you to stop your life for a couple of minutes and watch this:

trust me, it's worth every minute.

"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. "

-Galations 2:20

a collaboration of our New Years

our Christmas present was a get-away to a condo in Estes Park. we hadn't had a break since the boys came last May. It was so beautiful. Estes Park has always been on of my favorite places, especially in the winter.

Winter has always been a favorite with me. I love the cold, the snow, the hot drinks, the Christmas lights, and cozy fires.

*inset rabbit trial here*

|| I have determined that I need to find a town tucked away in the mountains, where it is always snowing and Christmas and I can live in a cabin with books that reach to the ceiling and drink tea and coffee. that would just be the best. ||

*end of rabbit trail*

it snowed a little bit, we walked the shops, read books, watched movies, went to the library, and slept late. And we went shopping. There is this leather store where everything is below $30. and I found the bag of my dreams. I could have actually stolen all of the bags there, they were absolutely gorgeous.

((and I was finally able to take a picture of the stars. I was super happy, it isn't anything super glorious, but it's a step in the right direction. ))
