things to be thankful for

thanksgiving was..

perfect.

boyfriend, dad & his friends went golfing in the morning
mom, sister and i took charge of groceries and the feast
a dinner table filled with good food, stories, and laughter
and we ended the night playing games, just enjoying each other's company

honestly, it was the best thanksgiving i've ever had.

in my 25 years i've yet to spend a thanksgiving without my family and pray that there won't be many, because in any given lifetime, i can't think of anything else one could be more thankful for. 

i've certainly been blessed.













cheers to the holidays,
xxmon

escape from manhattan

my boyfriend and i have been doing a lot of traveling lately, and life has seemed a bit exhausting. i decided that a change of pace was necessary, so we spent the day at the brooklyn botanical gardens. it was exactly what we needed: fresh air, beautiful scenery, and a simple escape, even if only for just for a few hours.
