So, I needed a challenge for my mental and physical health. Along comes the SLO half-marathon to do just that. My team and I are running to raise funds through World Vision to provide access to clean, safe drinking water for communities in Africa. When I want to give up #TeamWorldVision keeps me going. #allisgrace

   We had the extreme pleasure of watching our friends' adoption finalized. Being that this was winter in California, it called for a sundress with a pop of turquoise from my 31 bits necklace. 
   Thanksgiving with the fam and my mother's unmatched molasses cookies. Dress from Paper Cross, super-reliable leggings from 3 dots, and Michael Kors flats, which have stood up with abuse for the last seven years. Clay is wearing a flannel from Quiksilver and makes it look GOOD. The old faithful, red Banana Republic driving coat keeping the chill at bay with my good-looking sibs. We got a little more time together at Christmas. I love these two! Xmas dress comfort courtesy of LuLaRoe and Star Wars Vans. 

The highlight of my year is always, always, always a Lyle Lovett show. The hubs surprised me with tickets that had been sold out. Oh, the emotional ups and downs of it all. This acoustic show with John Hiatt was a definite standout. So incredibly good. If you ever get the chance to see these two.........GO!
I wore a denim shirtdress from Ann Taylor and my faithful TOMS wedges with bracelets from 31bits, with a great piece of arm candy. Of course, I had to bring home a new clothing item. #wearitproud
