Today was such a fun day. I don't normally go out (because quite frankly, I have anxiety with big crowds) BUT today I made an exception. My brother's girlfriend was in town & she wanted to shop around. The outlets were on top of our list but we decided to first go to Greene, Texas. If you're not familiar with Gruene, It's basically a small town with cute charm. It has adorable boutiques, great wine, good food and of course, a one of a kind dance hall. As I walked in to their souvenir store, I quickly realized their Christmas tree was already up. (Let's let Halloween pass people!) Although I had a mini shock attack, I was quickly taken back to last Christmas and I couldn't help but tear up. (Just a lil' bit) Christmas is my favorite time of year simply because my entire family is together. Sure, the presents are nice and the food is delicious but I treasure my family the most. I love a lot of things but in particular, I love having a full house, I love when my nieces and nephews make a mess & I love when the house is too loud for anyone to actually hear anything. Every year, my family gets bigger and bigger and I enjoy it all. Opening presents is SO MUCH FUN because we have quite the sense of humor and we tend to make fun of each others gifts. This year, I hope and pray we can all make it out and be together. My heart is the most full around the greatest people on earth & today, I was reminded of two things: How certain things can take you back and just how much memories become priceless as soon as they pass.
With love,
