The gift of saying goodbye

I completely forgot to post my 1000 Gifts last week, so here's two weeks worth of my little joys. I imagine the blog is going to be a bit slower for the next week or two, as my hubby and I are preparing for our move this weekend and our anniversary next weekend (can it really have been a year already??). I'll still be around, but may be a bit quieter than usual.
