home sweet home

as exicted as i am for jordan and mine's wedding, i'm also really exicted about having a home.

a home to live.

a home to decorate.

my home.

it's acutally quite sad, as looking at towels and wash clothes becomes fun

i was looking through a Knit Simple magazine and saw this:

I'm not crazy about the the throw, but the pillows are adorable. This is the only picture I could find of them, but there are wooden buttons on front. The best part is that they are made from the two most basic stiches ever. Once Jordan and I decided on a scheme of sorts for our living room I'm going to try a couple of these.

from europe

when i went over to Europe for three weeks, i brought a carry-on. just one. It had enough clothes for four days and my little bag of essentials and a small backpack to carry through out the day.

After hitting London, Windsor, Paris, Versailles, Krakow, Liechtenstein and most of Switzerland, my little bag was over-flowing. One of the ladies who was also traveling the entire trip was nice enough to let me send my backpack full of items with her.

This was August.

Yesterday, Jen and I traveled to a five hour drive to corral my backpack of European treasures.

I opened the bag to find 2 dirty shirts and a pair of jeans and the following items:

1. A Sorbonne University shirt from Paris bought from the small shops around Sacre Coeur.
2. A biography of Marie Antoinette with matching bookmark from Versailles.
3. A oatmeal cardigan bought at H&M in London.
4. A pink Swiss Army knife we bought in Switzerland.

While it may not be much, it's very nice to have it back.

Europe, oh how I miss you!

Nie is back!

I started reading the Nie Nie dialogues when my google reader brought it up in their suggestion box. It was cute, endearing and I spent quite a bit of time going through her archives.

Days later, Nie and her husband where in a horrible plane crash.

The blogging world rallied around the family in a way I have never seen before.

But today NIE is back!

You can read Stephenie's amazing story here.
And to see what was going on when Stephenie was sleeping, visit her sister's Courtney here.

An 80s Movie

In order to postpone homework and reading assignments,
Jenny, Matt, and I
went to Wal-Mart to pick out a movie...

I've watched this before.
Once before I became a big sister in 1989.
And again on our Spring Break vacation to Florida.

So far my favorite part is the drunk skeleton yelling, "Unicorn. Uuuuuunnnnniiiicorn."

Awesome.
