Uh…I want to live here.

I can’t stop obsessing over this cottage. It’s so quaint and adorable, not to mention cozy looking! Perfect for getting away from the city and relaxing for  a while. Normally, I’m not a huge fan of excess amounts of white, but I love how [almost] everything is white. My favorite feature? The bed is actually […]

“Camping”

So I went camping for the first time ever last weekend. Tim described it more as “party or social” camping, and not real camping. I suppose he was right…there was a nice [and clean!] bathroom just a short walk from where we set up for the night. There were 11 of us, and it was […]

Brooch Bouqets

Brooches are back in style. They’re are once again being seen on sweaters, in the hair, on bags, and now….wedding bouquets. Yes, wedding bouquets. I came across these one day while I was surfing Etsy, a website to buy and sell handmade crafts. I’m in love with these! Think of the amount of time it […]

My First 5K Race

Two week ago I finally ran my first 5K—without stopping, and more importantly…I finished. The 5K was for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Almost every fall I participate in the Race, and am going on my sixth year [I believe]. Since moving to St. Louis, I always fly home for it, with […]

Humuhumunukunukuapua’a

Say what? The title of this entry is named after Hawaii’s state fish: the Humuhumunukunukuapua’a. Pronounced: Who-moo, who-moo, new-kew, new-kew, ah, pooh, ah, ah. Trust me, it gets easier [and more fun] to say after a few times. A few weeks ago, my boyfriend, myself and four our our friends vacationed in Hawaii for a […]

Europe

In May 2009, my younger sister and I went on a 12 day trip to London, Paris and Rome. I was like a kid in a candy store pretty much the entire time because of my strong desire of always wanting to travel abroad. When I was 9 or 10, I asked my grandma if we could travel to China. Of course she told me yes, and now at 23 years old I’m stilling waiting to go on my trip to China. Each one of the city’s we visited probably deserve their own post, but for time’s sake I’m just going to condense it a little for now.
