bored

I am bored.
I don't really understand how everyone loves summer vacation.

My internship ended and school doesn't start for 2 more weeks.... and my real job won't start till december...

Now, I know you're all thinking... why is she complaining about having time off and nothing to do?

Well... I am BORED.

I wish I had a house or garden to work on... or that my husband would be on break so we could go on vacation...

but instead I am just at home alone being bored.

Oh well, enough complaining about what other people would die for... BUT...

This is what I would be doing if I could....

Building a dream home...

Planting and tending to a herb garden...

touring Italy with Erik...

sitting on a porch at the beach reading a book and drinkin wine...

Where do you wish you were??

Toms Has Heels!

mmm look at these pretties I just got in the mail! 

 Erik bought them for me for my Birthday.. Best husband ever!

Check out all the pretties at Toms.

And while you're at it.. Save the World. 

For every pair of Toms bought... they donate a pair to a child in need.

Outdoor Rooms

Since it has been cold in Oregon lately...
I have been dreaming of living somewhere warmer...
or it being summer at the Oregon Coast...
Here are some amazing outdoor rooms.. 
That make me want to just sit back, relax, and enjoy! 

Long Necklaces

I am realizing that I love long necklaces.. so much!
They add so much to a basic t-shirt or dress! 
Here are some I love!

End of Bed Benches

So, being in Orlando, we are staying at a Hilton

that at the end of every bed there is a bench. It has made me realize that in our future master bedroom... we must have a bench at the end of the bed. Not only is it convenient to sit on, but it makes the room look so much more glamorous! I love it!

P.S. I love the patterned ones... but I am not sure I would rock those. Maybe a white one, I am all about white linens and furniture in the bedroom... calm and fabulous.

Commere Snow!

I really hope the portland metro area gets blanketed with snow tonight! I could really use a snow day! Everyone think snowy thoughts!

Reminiscing...

I cannot stop thinking about Erik and my honeymoon and how amazing it was. The weather was beautiful, the accommodations were AMAZING (thanks mom and dad!), and we just relaxed and had a good time all day and night. I just keep thinking about how much I wish we could take a trip together every year. Wouldn't that be amazing? Ah.. maybe someday.

White Kitchens...

I have been loving the look of the white kitchen lately. It just looks so crisp and clean and welcoming. I also love all three of these because they have a set spot to sit, eat, and have conversation in the kitchen, which I love!

New Year, New Plans!

So, 2010 was an amazing time for me! It is going to be so hard to top it!

 This year I...

• Got Engaged on New Years Eve
• Got Married in September
• Vacationed in Hawaii
• Got to see my extended family three different times!
• Started school again
• Watched Erik start Chiropractic school!
• Was a bridesmaid in my older sister's wedding

But, 2011 I have so much hope for you... Erik and I drove back from the beach where we went to celebrate my sister's wedding and the whole way back we talked about the things we want to do during the new year. Usually we make the mistake of making all our plans too vague and therefore hard to accomplish or know when they are accomplished. So this year we are trying to be more detailed on the plans. 

Here are some we came up with:

• Travel to New Mexico for our one year anniversary trip
• Take more day trips to go hiking or wine tasting
• Cook at home more (make pies, yummy one dish dinners, and homemade granola)
• Hold hands when we're having an argument
• Go to the wildlife safari (We've been talking about it since our first month together)
• Play more games instead of watching television

Here's to an amazing new year!

Wedding Hair

...

For Jessyka and Jonah's wedding I really want a braided up-do. I am not sure that it goes with the style of my dress though! So we'll see! 

Any other hair suggestions?
