My friend Cary (who is a master carpenter + teacher) came over last night to drop off our new sofa table that he designed and made in a matter of 5 hours!  Our living room is starting to come together nicely.

Bought these type cases a few months ago + am finally getting around to cleaning [...]

As my siblings get older, our Christmas celebrations get smaller + smaller.

Photo of me at the basketball game.  Not really documenting the holiday seaon right now – just documenting my life in December.

Got home from the game + chatted with my dear friend Laura.  We both took pictures of ourselves talking to each other.  Yeah, we’re pretty silly that way.
