Adoption Day
One year ago today...
Was the longest morning of my life.
The longest car ride of my life.
The most life-changing day of my life.
One year ago today I became a mom. No, my children are not one year old. They are 16 and 18 months to be precise, but one year ago I became their mom and one year ago my life forever changed for the better.
It's been one whole year and life couldn't be more amazing, challenging, rewarding, frustrating, or awe inspiring. Being a parent is like no other experience I've ever had and it keeps shifting and changing as the boys grow.
So today we are celebrating Baxter and Atticus' homecoming. It's pretty fitting that it happened around Thanksgiving, because I couldn't be more thankful for the two most precious boys I've ever met in my entire life.
And I can't wait to see what life is like next year and every year after.

Weekend Wears
It's been some time, but I mustered up the motivation to have my photograph taken, which is now resulting in a long overdue weekend wears post. On Friday night Eric and I had an overnight date, and then had Saturday all to ourselves. It was truly glorious. We got breakfast and pretty much thrifted the day away. A real dream come true in my book.
Tank: Anthro // Cardigan: Target // Jeans: Levi's // Boots: Aldo
Then Sunday was our usual family filled day, which generally calls for very comfy clothes since the afternoon is spent watching football and then a movie. And besides, I had made an awesome thrift find and had to wear it right away.
Sweater: Thrifted // Jeans: BDG // Shoes: Thrifted
I really can't believe that Thanksgiving is Thursday. Which also means it's almost the one year anniversary of the boys coming home. I believe this even less. Where has this year gone?!

As of Late
This is a little peak into what has been happening as of late.
I've been spending lots and lots of time with my boys, which isn't that unusual, but we've been stuck indoors more often and Eric has been working a lot, so it's been the three of us lately. Although, I did go away overnight last weekend for a girls weekend. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed hanging out with all the girls there.
I've also been working on getting my Christmas shopping done. I think I am about half way, with several ideas that just need time in order to finish them, both purchasing and crafting. I have decided that love crafting gifts. Any time I've spent crafting this season has been for Christmas related things and it's so much fun. Especially when you have a really good idea.
In less exciting news, I still plug away at homework during most of the boys' nap time, and have a research paper due in a couple of weeks, which has yet to begin (oops...). I guess I know how I'll be spending my Thanksgiving break next week.
