Big changes and Deep breaths

So, today I announced on facebook that WE are moving back to CALI!!

Big things are happening and after a week, I was ready to let the whole world know.

Yup, it's only been a week since finding out and a crazy one at that.

P got a position as a captain for a charter company near where my parents live. 

The backstory: P has been looking for better positions for years now all over the world. This was just the first one he got and it happened to be where I am from. 

We found out a week ago and today our house went up on the market. 

Things are moving at warped speed at this home. 

Well, we will see what happens. 

The golden state: part I

I needed a break .. So I went on trip # 5 for the year

As you saw, we celebrated 2 wonderful years of marriage and going strong.

So this trip was for my mental health and friend spending.

The first day was spent jumping flights finding my way to California, well I got there.

(The traveling flowers from This post)

The second day, I spent at Disneyland. 

It's been 4 years and I missed it the whole time.

See, I use to have a season pass and go all the time.

So.. It was time.

We did both parks and I loved it. I was wiped but I loved it. 

I can't wait to go back.

Stay tuned for part 2.

Have you gone anywhere this summer?

Dear hubby

I love you for your sweetness.

I love you for your patience. 

I love you for the faith you have in me.

I love you for your ability to calm me down.

I love you for your thoughtfulness.

P, I love you more and more everyday and I am so glad I get to have adventures with my best friend. You made my week by seeing your face for 10 minutes and the roses, ah the roses. You made several women jealous at the airport today. The roses may look like how I feel, but the beautiful smell is still there. 

I love you. 

I have been obsessed with the movie Pitch perfect (you won't like it, don't watch it) ,but this song just hits home and reminds me of you

Cups by Anna Kendrick

I got my ticket for the long way round

Two bottle of whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomorrow, what do you say

When I'm gone (x2)
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

When I'm gone (x2)
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

I got my ticket for the long way round
The one with the prettiest of views
It's got mountains
It's got rivers

It's got sights to give you shivers
But I'm sure it'd be prettier with you

When I'm gone (x2)
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, ohYou're gonna miss me when I'm gone

When I'm gone (x2)
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me talk, oh
Oh you're sure gonna miss me when I'm gone

When I'm gone (x2)
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone.

The year of cotton

I can remember 2 years ago, I was rolling around bed and unable to sleep.

Before my big day. The day that I would always remember. 

It's been 2 years and I would be lying if I said it was all rainbows and unicorns. 

This past year was better than the first though. 

We both have had 3 jobs in these past 2 years, now that we are both at comfortable positions and moving forward in our careers it feels better and stress levels are down. 

I also feel like we are getting more comfortable with each other and able to understand each other more. 

I can not wait to spend the rest of my life with P.

Being an adult can be really hard at times, but it is nice to be able to explore the world and go on adventures with your best friend. Lif

Entry way: Part II

In this post I talked about the multiple problems wrong with our entry way.

If you remember way back when, this is what it looked like after we painted the walls 

Kinda bland and semi-functional and OH THE CORDS!! .. ugh..

The solution: to make the space more functional  and proportionally fit the space

 

So I found a lot of tutorials on crate shelves on pinterest. I bought 4 crates from Jo Anns and got to working. I came up with a 4 crate box (not to big or small) with legs (to get it off the floor). The crates hold magazine holders with our magazines, two baskets for each of our mail and some books for decorations.

I also found this awsome mirror at home goods that was on clearance because it had a piece that was broken. If you look closely in the photo above you can see it if you look closely. I glued it and ta-da!

So after seeing this post on Bower Power blog I knew the turquoise door had to go and I wanted a black door. I used the same black paint as the post; onyx by glidden. The lamp on the divider is a hand me down, the gold frame is from a thrift store, the wooden seat is actually a queen's throne.

I also decided the inside needed some love to. I painted the door as well as the room divider. The hint of black on the top and a fresh coat of white is just what it needed

Added some new knobs and I just love it. I think that that black door brings out the other black accents 

What do you think?

This post will be linking up to these blogs this week
