365pics...

Like I said, 365photos may not be posted every day, but here's a couple for the catching up option. School hasn't started yet, and I'm already procrastinating. Great. Good news is though... it is snowing! Just when I thought I was ready for spring, it starts snowing... and all of my flower, fresh cotton, and chaco thoughts changed back to hot cocoa, mittens and hats, and warm fires. My mom came up and spent the weekend with me... which was awesome. We got some quality mother daughter time in, ate some wonderful food, first aspen visit for mom, and shopped at some great little thrift stores. I'm so excited to share what I found! 'Til then...

4/365...

Well, it's back to school for this girl... even though classes haven't started yet, I feel like there are a million things I need to do to already. But enough about that worrisome stuff. My parents took me out to lunch this afternoon before I had to head back to Stillville. We ate at this little hole in the wall mexican restaurant that I am pretty much in love with. It was delicious. But the best part was finding out that they were going to just throw away this giant window they didn't want anymore and so we asked to take it. I have big plans. And they have to be big... because like I said... the window is enormous. Anyhow, don't judge a book by it's cover... or a window by it's color... It will be repainted trust me! I'm pumped.

It literally takes up my entire back seat... wouldn't even fit in the trunk! Gotta love free stuff!

January 3... As today was my last full day with my family on Christmas break, I tried to soak it up as much as possible. My mom and I mostly just killed time shopping and getting our minds off of things that have been troublesome lately. Amazing how shopping can cure a girl. Well... some girls... for some time... It would get my mind off of things for a little while, and then I would be right back where I started. I know I've already blogged once today (shocking...) but, at the end of the day (like it is right now... there's literally only 18 minutes left...) God is the only thing that fills me up. That quiets me with his love. How wonderful he is. He spoke to a desperate heart tonight through Psalm 145. I definitely would say it's a good idea to go read it if you don't already have it memorized... which I'm sure most of you don't... Just sayin. So go read it!

I should probably hit the hay... I have a coffee date with three little munchkins before school tomorrow morning.

p.s. Another goal for twenty11... See more sunrises.

Shades and Pottery...

Today, my very good friend Alyssa and I started off the new year right. We drove to Brookside and greeted the day with a great cup of coffee from Shades of Brown. Let me tell you... what a wonderful little coffee shop. There is art everywhere... and the coffee is delicious! Antique furniture and twinkle light heaven... and my favorite part, all of their dishes are handmade! Ceramic! We decided to go around the corner to Brookside Pottery where we learned that they actually made the first of their dishes, then went on to teach the owners to do create the art themselves! Beautiful. Here's to starting the new year's goals strong... a picture... or two...

Such a wonderful day! Now, the kitchen in the Kellehan house is looking mighty tempting with the homemade Tortelli my mom is making! Can't wait!
