“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”— Emily Brontë
Feeling extra lucky to be married to this guy lately :)

2013.

The New Year is upon us and I have been thinking about what kind of resolutions I am interested in pursuing. With that being said, here is a list of my crazy goals for 2013.

1. Mermaid Hair
I will not cut my hair no matter how high maintenance it becomes.
2. Make a Memory Jar
Start the year with an empty jar and fill it with notes about good things that happen.
 Then, on New Year's day 2014 , empty it and see what an awesome year it was.
3. Make a Drake
My most important goal... can't wait to expand our little family.
4. Attempt Crossfit
Hopefully to get my pre-baby body back. ;)
5. Find a Fixer-Upper and Fix it up
Looking forward to finding a place to make all our own.

Happy Holidays


Christmas is almost here and I am overjoyed. Unfortunately, I have to work again this Christmas. Not the worst thing in the world, but overall, a bit of a bummer. On the up side, I am off these next few days. I can't wait to party it up this weekend with friends and family. There is nothing better than the look on all my nieces and nephews faces when they open all the gifts we got them. :)

Tonight, Kiel and I will be celebrating our own little Christmas. We are going out for a nice dinner,  then heading home to light a fire and exchange gifts over a glass of red. Followed by a cozy night on the couch with the pup and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. I honestly cannot wait. Amidst all the chaos of the holiday season, it's moments like this that make it all worthwhile. 

Also, I can't to see what Kiel got me for Christmas this year. Eek... so excited.

Inspiring Spaces

I have been getting the itch to move a lot lately. Don't get me wrong, I love our home... it is our first little space that is all our own, and I think we did quite a decent job of making it 'us'. But I am beginning to think that starting a family would be a heck of a lot easier if we were already settled into a single family home. For me, it would be so great to find a nice size, fixer-upper that we could mold into exactly what we want. With that being said... I have not only been searching for homes on the web, but I've more been researching what I would want the spaces within our home to look like. Here are some inspiring spaces that I have come across in my search.

The Foyer
The First Floor Bath
The Office
The Kitchen

"You need to let it be alright that you don’t know how it’s going to go. You’re holding on too rigidly to something that is free flowing… do you understand?" Bashar
