Ornaments

Tomorrow is December 1st!   WHOA!

I saw these beautiful sparkled pine cones on crate and barrel's site this morning and really wanted to make them myself. Then, I remembered that I lived in Brooklyn and finding anything pine cones would be very difficult. So, now I will see if I can trash in the neighborhood that looks cool enough to SPARKLE. I'll let you know what I find and IF I really do this. I really hate buying silly ornaments that have no meaning. Sparkle trash seems much more fun anyways.

If anyone would like to send me real Christmas Ornaments, let me know. :)

Friday Morning

Today is my last morning home before I go back to work on Monday. I am VERY much looking forward to returning to work. I have used the last month to heal, mostly as well as get my emotional well being in check. Its been a needed break, but, I can honestly say I'm ready to return to "life".

I have loved sleeping in and hanging out with my Mack Man though!

Today I made an egg white omlete and I'm obsessed with Kale Chips right now. I haven't tried the plain yet because it still creeps me out... but, baby steps. Being on a diet around Holiday season isn't one of the brighter ideas but, I'm sick of this extra baby weight on me. I need to get in shape and healthy now! (I can still drink red wine though, right? Oh and its the SEC Championship on Saturday, crap! That means BEERS!) I'll do my best.

"Reality and Dreams"

Have you seen this portfolio yet? 

The photos are incredible and makes me want to grab my toe shoes and go back to ballet class.

Photos of My Stroll

Its a gorgeous clear day in NYC today and when its nice, I love taking walks and taking pictures around my neighborhood. Here are some of my favorites!

One Month

Today was a hard one. Today our little girl would have 1 month old and it was rainy and nasty out. It should have been a lot harder, but, I met a friend for a wonderful lunch and spoke with her about our story. It was the first time I've talked out loud and I think I did pretty well. I will say its gotten a bit easier, or maybe its that more time has passed so I'm healing. I miss her, but, I'm moving into a more positive mind-set. I still ask "why" over and over in my head... but, I'm accepting and looking forward to the future. She'll never be replaced, only loved and will have siblings who can celebrate her too!

We have received so many lovely cards and some friends have sent me photos of us to lift spirits and I have to admit, it helps. Family and friends are really the only things that can get you through hard times... cherish these relationships.

I don't plan on speaking about this on our blog anymore. I wanted to mention this milestone so she had one. I'm proud of her no matter what and I'm proud of Scottie and I for being one hell of a strong loving couple. We love our friends and family so much... this holiday season will be enjoyed so much! 

and I'm thankful for this ridiculous face. I mean, how can you not just LAUGH at this guy?

Smiles For San Francisco

I looooooooooooooove you, San Francisco!

We had a fantastic time visiting family in the gorgeous area this Thanksgiving. It was filled with drinking, eating, visiting, football, family time and lots of laughter and smiles. It was just what the east coast Kirby's needed. Just check out our photos of the incredibly scenic area. Its enough to lift anyone's spirits.

Hmmmm, perhaps I'll move there next. It HAS almost been a year in this city. ;)

Packing with Mack

Hi!
We're heading to San Francisco this evening for Thanksgiving! Mack is going to miss me sooooooooo much (and I will miss him) but, I have my sister looking after him. She will undoubtedly over-feed him and spoil him rotten. I'm kinda OK with that. :) I'm looking forward to heading back to the west coast. I haven't been back in about 2 years! I'll be sure to take lots and lots of pictures of our time out there. After packing, I realize I wear nothing but black. Damn you NYC!!

We're also listening to Gary Clark Jr's "Give it Up Now"
