become a poppy barely ambassador!

i've been following poppy barley as their business grows for about 6 months and i have to say i'm impressed.

my heart swoons and my feet drool (is that a thing?)

home is where my heart is: L.O.V.E. mugs

oh, how i love diy projects!

for more instructions check this out!

i just had fund with it! 

our home is finally coming together piece by piece! 

karmic cleanse.

you get to decide who you want to be in your life.

what character you play, and how you treat people.

you get to decide if you are helpful, or hurtful.

and you, yes you have to decide to let go.

yoga is therapeutic for me. 

when i practice it's like i am a different person

im whomever i want to be and i'm me 

all at the same time.

i often let go of the days, weeks, months and years of frustration

only for them to all come back the next day

but, when they come back... they aren't as severe 

and little by little i'll let go of them all and they will melt away

that's the hope anyways

in the end only three things matter:

how much you loved,

how gently you lived,

and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.

what can i say, yoga makes me a better person.

very, very zen. 

life update!

Wow, life is really keeping us busy and frankly I should be studying for midterms right about now. 2 more to go! I can't believe October is almost over, it's going by much to quickly - 6 months and school will be over! Which means I need to decide what the heck I will be doing with my summer before grown up life starts in September of 2014.

Andrew is busy studying for his Mod 4 exam, I'm so very proud of him for pursuing this designation. I really can't wait for graduation because these late night study sessions and early mornings are killing me!

We have a wedding to attend on Saturday (Andrew's cousin), and I adore weddings but always get such a bad case of wedding fever.

We have a couple countdowns going on:

- 64 days till Christmas 

- 67 days till Kelowna

- 114 days till Hawaii

I feel like if I blink it will be all over! 

home is where my heart is: his & hers

Finally convinced the boyfriend to hang these up <3 

I bought them in Settle (yes I know I need to put the pictures up on this blog)

his & hers. <3 

whatever souls are made of his and mine are the same <3

our lovely little home is because such a warm fuzzy place! 

happy thanksgiving - a list of gratitude.

lots to always be thankful for.

always try to be positive.

gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.

it turns what we have into enough, and more 

it can turn a meal in to a feast

a house into a home 

& a stranger into a friend. 

it's not happiness that brings us gratitude 

it's gratitude that brings us happiness. 

happy thanksgiving friends.

<3 

home is where my heart is: la curtains.

finally, we have curtains in our bedroom. 

our bedroom is a combination of grey, and purple - so naturally our curtains have those colors as well.

sorry the picture is a little dark, when the window is open, the picture didn't take so well. 

i love the sheer purple curtain and dark grey. 

i'm starting to really love our home 

<3 

soulmates.

"A soul-mate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys that fit our locks. 

When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out 

& we can be completely and honestly who we are." 

- Richard Bach

apply for graduation: check!

Well, I did it! Today I applied for graduation. April 2014 will mark the end of my undergraduate chapter and my post-graduate self will starting a brand new chapter in a new city! I'm beyond excited after my 5-year journey and at the same time a little nostalgic. No more University life. I only have seven months left and that's it. It all seemed to go by so quickly and yet it seems so long ago that I started my undergraduate journey. I think I'm ready to graduate though, I'm at a good place in life - kinda sick of school, but still trying to enjoy the beauty of campus. 

life passes so quickly; the days are long but the years are short - write it down.
