exactly what i needed.

because sometimes for the sake of your soul, you just have to...

::pack up your enormous chevy tahoe that makes you feel like a rapper/soccer mom {gotta love the randomness of a rental car}::

::hightail it to the mountains:: 

::stop on the way for a little oskar blues beer and eats {i drank wine, but whatever}::

::light a big fire as soon as you arrive at your home away from home::

::spend the whole weekend with your church small group, who just happen to be some of your favorite people::

::take time to soak in the views and stop to watch the falling snow::

::stay in your pajamas for as long as possible and take intermittent naps whenever the mood strikes::

::forget what it feels like to be hungry::

::play ridiculous trivia games while painting your nails at the dining room table::

::make breakfast strombolis that taste delicious::

::sit in the sun and read for pleasure::

::got out on the town for margaritas and mexican food::

::share your story, the silly ones and the ones that make you cry::

::celebrate each other with a mimosa in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other::

::pray together in the quiet of the morning::

::be incredibly grateful for such amazing people to share in the journey::
