new years with the brick a bracks

last new years was kinda anti-climactic. dinner with friends. attempting to stay up till midnight. blah. this year the work gods smiled down on me and i was awarded for all my hard work (watch it...) with three days off! cue choirs of angels singing... so we went to mr. brack's family's cottage in Ellicotteville, NY! it was such a lovely vacation filled with sleeping late, staying in pjs all day, learning to froth milk for hot chocolates, catching up on movies, and playing in the snow! and since we had to cross the boarder, we had no access to wifi or cell phones! i highly recommend that everyone has an electronics holiday every now and then (she says to the people reading her blog on the interwebs...)!


road trip time!
this dog lives the life
being chauffeured to and fro...



i promise he'll smile at some point in these photos

so beautiful!

currently...

listening to...


bruno mars - locked out of heaven


christina aguilera - just a fool (feat. blake shelton)


rudimental - feel the love (feat. john newman)


reading...


just finished the first two books in veronica roth's divergent series. it's like harry potter + 1984 + hunger games. couldn't put it down. i read both books in less than 8 hours. straight.

making...


just finished all of my cookies for christmas...maybe i'll take some pictures...they might be all gone before then.

watching...


big sci-fi kick right now. re-watching doctor who from 9 onwards. can't wait for the christmas episode. (not to mention the downton abbey christmas episode...eek...) throwing in a little supernatural for good measure. just watched the first episode of glee again. it's nice to remember why i started to love that show in the first place. and crazy to see how much everything has changed. also watching homeland. great show, but unless you watch them consecutively, i think you'd get bored.

just realized i watch too much tv. if i counts for anything...i do bring my ipad when i work out...

loving...


that mr. brack is home for three week! i just finished my last exam so i'm looking forward to spending time with family and having a wonderful christmas break!

looking forward to...


the new year and all the new beginnings it holds for us as a family!

a muddy fall day
