A True Life Four Christmases

When you come from a "broken family" it is always difficult when the holiday's come around to decide which side of the family a person is going to spend time with that year, but what happens when you have two "broken families" to contend with?

Well this year we attempted the impossible (if not only for the fact that there simply is not enough energy to contend with four families over a single weekend) and did just that.

Sadly, when something is boring in real life, it seems even more boring down on paper so instead of boring you with details I will simply leave it at that.

Next year I am thinking of hopping on a plane for sure!

A print I found today that I find to not only be beautiful but very inspirational as well.
Looking at this piece through my eyes makes me feel as I do whenever I take the time to sit and look at the stars: Small. Insignificant. But in awe of the wonder.

Its only $425 for my own copy.. and Christmas IS coming up soon. Hmm... hehe
