Back before Marina lived in South America and then got married and had a kid, we were nearly inseparable. She now lives about twenty minutes from me but I only get to see her maybe two or three times a year. I always thought that when she grew up we would still be best pals and hang out tons. But it seems once people get hitched and have kids, their spinster friend get pushed to the background and eventually is thrown away entirely. I've had a long time to work through this and even though I miss what she and I once had, I absolutely love stumbling upon an old video of us from back in the day. This one is from Christmas Eve 2010 when we were driving around nearby towns to check out Christmas lights. Man, we had some great times together!

Happy Holiday

How hysterically adorable is this Christmas card that my cousin Alina made in 2012?!

May's Christmas House

I saw these festive Spark matches when I was with Autumn in Ohio and had to buy them. 

My hopes and dreams of late are entirely of having a safe, quiet home, far from neighbours and noise. Since I'm obsessed with Instagram pages that have anything to do with houses, this one post about the Christmas house that best suits people based on the month of their birth made me click on it to see May's. I will so take this as my own. Note that there's not another living soul as far as the eye can see. Just me and Denver, my gorgeous horse that never bites and also mucks out their own stable. Amazing!
