tales of another Jersey holiday

looking back on this past birthday, Christmas, & New Years what I can say is that I know I am blessed just by looking at all the people in these photos & remembering the family & friends we have that love us.

I want to remember this love.

Remember because sometimes I don't feel loved, cared for, remembered - and I begin to doubt the love that is around me, near & far. But these pictures I cherish because they are a reminder that yes, even when I don't feel loved I am. & even when I feel alone, I am not. God has placed so many people in our lives to bless us, & I only hope that we can bless them all the more.

Here are some favorite memories from our NJ holiday trip!(posts from our road trip to VA will be coming up soon!) Right now, Chicago is below freezing - so these photos are just about warming me up! I hope they do the same for you!

happy 23!

fabulous.

Honestly, there are so many more photos that could be posted, but after some technical difficulties I think I spent way too much time on this computer. So, for now I hope you've enjoyed these memories of ours. They sure are dear ones.
