It's the end of January. It's been an odd month for me. The weather has been so dry this month which is unusual for this time of year. It's made me feel like it is May and time to find flowers in the garden. This month has been in full wedding planning swing! The months are getting closer and Jim and I will be saying I do sooner than later. We meet with our photographer on the 18th of February.

Hey you guys! I have an exciting post to share with you today about glasses . Even if you don't wear glasses, almost everyone knows someone who does. Personally, I don't wear perscription glass, but LOVE sunglasses and need reading glasses. Recently, I discovered a really awesome online eyeglasess website perfect for anyone who doesn't want to break the bank. GlassesUSA.com is an awesome

I'm so excited to get started on my 12 goals in 2012. The very first one that I am excited to share with you is a new band called The Best Pessimist. According to their facebook profile (linked above), "The Best Pessimist is a one-man-band project of the Ukrainian musician and composer Sergey Lunev. Project was formed in January 2009. Over about two years, he was released 4 albums on different

Today I wanted to share with you a current favorite of mine. The other day I went to Target with my friend and was looking for some new nail polish colors. I love finding a new nail polish color, but have a difficult time spending eight dollars on some brands because I don't feel like I can be as extreme in choosing a color. If I spend eight dollars on a nail polish, it has to be a color I love.

All were unsuccessful. ...unleashing Hollie to run around at the beach. ...hearing you

In Novemember, I had the idea to start a book club. I've never been in charge of a book club, nor have I ran one. What better way to start out then to do both? So, that's what I did! If you're interested in joining or checking things out, please check out the book club blog. I thought adding a blog would be a great way to include everyone who isn't able to physcailly meet at the meetings but

This is Hollie. Adorable, right? Hollie is our newest dog that Jim brought home from being handed out in front of Target. We didn't need another dog, but when Jim texted me a picture of her, all of a sudden I couldn't say no. Hollie is a mixed breed of dog consisting of wire terrier and cocker spaniel. Seriously, two adorably cute dogs on their own and as Hollie as proof, they're even cuter

Like many other, Pinterest has become a slight obsession of mine. It's one of my top visited sites (besides blogger & youtube), and I love to look at so many creative things from all of you. Are you on pinterest? If so, follow me or leave me your link in the comments. I'd love to come visit your inspiration boards.

For the past couple of years, I am always getting this same sickness that doesn't seem to want to leave my body for quite a while. Well, as of Tuesday evening, it's back again. The aches, pains, head stuffiness, sore throat, blah blah blah. I've missed the past two days of work to try and let my body get better, but sadly, it doesn't feel any better! Today was spent sleeping on the couch and

On December 31, Jim and I celebrated one year of being engaged. One year since he got down on one knee. One year since I said yes. It's been an amazing year. I wanted to reflect back on the year and document some of our progress in planning a wedding. Ordered, picked up, and took in for repair twice, my ring. Found, reserved, and paid for a venue. Made our own save-the-dates and have sent

Hello, 2012. Leading up to 2012, I've spent a lot of time of goals and the direction I want my life to take. 2012 is going to be a great year. There are too many exciting things already planned for it not to be exciting. and awesome. and amazing. I've created a little list that is going to be my inspiration and goals for the year. They're not over the top crazy. I think it's important to

All of the things I secretly wished I blogged about. In January: Went to the snow with Jim, Kobi, and friends. Went to antique stores. Looked at our first possible wedding reception and venue. Ate lunch with my little brother, Kenneth , in Trinidad. Took some amazing photos in Trinidad. Played ball with Kobi on the beach until he wouldn't run any more :). Took a

I hope everyone has a wonderful December 25th, 2011 regardless of what you're religion, traditions, or beliefs are. I'll be spending it with Jim's family eating breakfast and then returning for dinner. Yes, I'm excited. Be back later with some fun posts. I've been super excited and inspired to type these up.

As the new year is quickly approaching, I've been thinking alot about goals for 2012. I'll be sharing my 2012 goals later in the week, but for now, here are some inspirational quotes.

thanks, buddah. i needed this. Last night, Jim and I were invited over to our friends' house for 'Board Game Night." I got off work at 3:45pm and Jim was off at 6:30pm. Although we wouldn't be able to arrive until about 7:30, we decided to go. We went. We took snacks. We laughed. We were tired. The holidays and work have been so extrememly busy & stressful, that it's moments and nights like

I'm not one to cook. That doesn't mean I don't like to cook, but for the past two years or so, it hasn't been in my schedule. Although I have cooked many many dinners, lunches, and even breakfasts, it's usually the same...pizza, BLT's, pasta, etc. Today at work we had a holiday potluck. I asked around for recipe ideas (because usually people only bring cold things), and I thought I would bring

 I'm so excited to announce my first blog feature, Photo App. Recap. I take a TON of photos on my phone using a variety of photo apps. I sometimes include them in posts and other various outlets online, but this feature is going to offer a dedicated space and time to share my monthly favorites. Each month, on the last Friday, I am going to post various photos I've taken throughout the month

Last Thursday, Jim and I went and watched Random Acts of Comedy which is a local improv comedy group. I have been one other time and Jim has been twice. Jim has a good friend that is one of the comedians and we love to support him and get a good laugh. The house was full. The beer and cheese covered french fries were good. Watching the show reminded me of years ago when I used to watch

This past week, I visited one of my favorite local vintage shops. There were many displays of local art. I picked this one up and wanted to share. To me, it represents Day of the Dead.  I love that it is a lady and a man. I wish I had the artist's name, but I can't read it, and I forgot to ask. Happy Monday!

Jim and I took a trip up to Crescent City,California to take a friend up to his family. It's not far from here, but it was spur of the moment that it seemed like quite the adventure. Jim and I fed the animals, took them out to potty, packed up nothing but a jacket, and headed up the coast line. The nice thing about driving north is the view. We literally drove along the coast line for 80%

Happy Veteran's Day! I hope you all took a moment to thank the men and women who have and do serve our country. I had the day off from work and spent the majority of my day relaxing and watching YouTube videos, Vampire Diaries, and various other tasks. After Jim was off, we hit up our favorite book store or two and had a yummy treat. These greeting cards are hilarious. When

A few days before Halloween, I got to take some pictures of my beautiful nephew. His mom (my fiance's sister), wanted to take him to the pumpkin patch. After talking, we decided that we would make a pumpkin patch in our own backyard. Here are a few of the pictures I took. Isn't he ADORABLE?! We took some with pumpkins around him that said, 'Harvest' and '3 months'.

Tonight Jim & I bought our first two  bottles of wine. We've never really been wine drinkers, except for the occasional sip during the holidays at his mom's house. A while back, I tried a sweet wine that I loved. We tried to find out the name of that wine by asking around, and went with what we thought it was. We went to Target and ended up choosing Barefoot Moscato and Barefoot Zinfandel.
