Figure it out!

I have been thinking a lot about my day to day life and how I am always really upset when I wake up in the morning. I work at 7am and have to leave my house by 6:30. So usually, my routine consists of my alarm going off at 5, hitting the snooze till 6, then eventually rolling out of bed at 6:10, getting ready as fast as possible and dragging my feet all the way to my car to leave.

I am realizing that this routine needs a complete makeover. When we lived in our apartment, I would get up early enough to sit and eat some toast and drink some coffee while watching Good Day Oregon and I realize now that it was a very important part of my waking up. I have also gotten super into yoga lately and I realize that even if I did a short, twenty minute, set before work, I would feel great all day. So tomorrow, I am going to try it out. 

Also, I have come to realize that my whole work day is so much better when I make my lunch and pack a few snacks for throughout the day. So I need to be better about going grocery shopping and packing it all up the night before. Because, the few days when I forget and I have to go from 7am till 1pm without food, I am a real horror to be around.

So. Tomorrow is the beginning of the rest of my life.
See you there.

Happy Hump Day everyone! 

Spring Time Dreamin'

I have been thinking so much about spring time coming and today it was so sunny. It made me think of dresses and sunglasses and running around outside and letting the sun warm my whole self. I cannot wait for the weather to cooperate and heat up so that I can sport dresses and just be more carefree.

For some reason, even if work and school schedules don't change at all, as soon as the weather is warmer and the sun peers through the clouds and the rain slows down, I just feel more positive. I always feel like no matter what, even if my classes and work schedule are more hectic I am always more positive during the spring and summer. So... I cannot wait for sun! 

...and dresses!

I'm ready...

...to go on a camping adventure!

I am really ready for the sun to come out and spring to begin. Because as soon as it does, I am going to pack up the car, the tent, the cooler, and my husband and head out on an adventure. I am going to have to start researching places now because I am getting really antsy for spring and more outdoor adventures.

Oregon is amazing but irritating sometimes because it is so beautiful year round, but it is hard to enjoy camping when it is pouring outside and you cannot leave your tent without getting soaked. So... I am just waiting patiently (or impatiently) for the sun to come out so that camping, hiking, swimming, boating and other outdoor adventures can begin. 

ahhhh. spring tiiiiime. commere. 

His and Hers Sinks

 

I love his and hers sinks. I think it is such a cute idea to think about getting ready next to each other in the morning in peace instead of leaning over Erik brushing his teeth so I can do my mascara. I think all three of these bathrooms will probably be contestants for dream home bathrooms. 

Happy Friday!

Recycled Post Cards...

...Amazing.

These are so cute I had to share them! They are handmade thank you postcards made out of recycled christmas gift boxes. Check out the link at Design Sponge.

Wish I was here Wednesday!

Cassis, France.

I went here in May 2009 with my sister, Jessyka, and it was amazing! I cannot wait to go back again and eat caprese baguette sandwiches, wander around, and lay on the beach! Maybe take my husband next time?

You can play along too, here on Olivia's page!



It's February?

I cannot believe it is February already! It is sunny outside and my classroom is decorated to the nines in hearts. One of my best friends is getting married this month and I just cannot believe that my sister is already married too. This year is just flying by. I have been such a bad blogger lately, but I do have an excuse! I was in Michigan for my sister's second wedding reception and then yesterday I was just too exhausted from the trip to do anything but watch Kim and Kourtney Take New York. But, I am back now!

And here are some of the amazing Valentine's stuff I have seen:
