lucky

Woke up this early this morning to attend my 3rd reschedule of Jury Duty. Trying to come up with every excuse I can to get out of this, I realized I forgot to call and check in the night before. I show up 5 min early and no one was there. Come to find out everyone that was summoned for this date is excused for the next 2 years or so! Wow, I got so lucky! After a short nap I got up feeling energized and inspired.

I have organized every drawer and closet and now I am moving on to organize my life on the computer.

I found a gorgeous bedroom on Design*Sponge and I Love it! The dark taupe on the

wall is gorgeous and I love the "love" detail between the pillow, simple and romantic.

Then I found this photo on Once Wed and have officially decided that this glitter shoe fad, which I love, (I have a silver peep toe my self), is so breathtaking with a wedding gown. The gold, skin color sparkle makes the white pop and adds that little something special. I think it should be something old something new something sparkle something blue. Just my personal girly opinion!

a new me!

I'm Back.... sitting here in the loft of my mothers well decorated beachy chic condo in Ohio and suddenly feel inspired by a blog during my daily read. Im so sorry I fell of the face of the earth, Justin and I went through a lot in the last couple of months, but now we are better than ever, and just in (no pun intended) time for the holidays and his birthday of course. I just had an amazing holiday with my family up north and my grandparents. The holiday continues tomorrow with my dad and Thursday when I go back to North Carolina.

With all the changes that have gone on in my life, I am starting this new year off with a bang. I am finally happy again, motivated and again... and inspired which is all I can ask for. Thanks to Apartment #34 heres the photo that inspired me!

How amazing is this? I love the pink, and what girl doesn't love large pink presents? although we all know the little blue box trumps them all.. wink wink guys. I also found something awesome on Design*Sponge that I had to share and have to have when I get that iPad I secretly want

It's a manilla folder, leather iPad case, how cool is that?

Well I'm off to get sushi and zen cha with Molly in the short north!! very excited, maybe even a little shopping, although I don't have the money, the girl needs to shop :)

I'll be back tomorrow... and I won't promise because I haven't been good about that lately!

found it!

this is what a perfect wedding looks like to me, it's so gorgeous and I want mine to look exactly like it! Thank you Design To Print for the gorgeous photos and ideas!

already gone

Hello, I know it has been forever and because it is the last day in September I figured I would make some time to tell y'all what I have been up to...

First of all I am back in school and loving it! Taking all art related classes is what I have been waiting for for four years and now I know why! my favorite class is the one I am not getting

credit for (because I have already completed the course, now I am just gaining portfolio pieces), advanced graphic design. We just completed a poster about a social issue, here is mine about Verbal Abuse. (which I am obsessed with by the way)

Secondly, Justin and I moved in together with my best friend Ashleigh. I am loving every minute of it. We basically lived together this summer but actually having him there everyday is so much fun. We got to decorate and paint the apartment and it looks so adorable! (i did the decorating and Justin did the painting)

We also just passed our 6th month anniversary which is a mile stone for us. Mom and Jeff were in town the weekend of our anniversary so we went to eat at 1924 Prime steak house on campus and Print Works Bistro to have cocktails and appetizers with the Davis family. It was so much fun to celebrate with everyone, and Justin surprised me with a beautiful promise ring. (it is a ring with diamonds, not a diamond ring to be clear!)

Him and I have been through a lot lately but it is making us stronger and stronger every day.

I also started Boot Camp again 2 weeks ago! Now getting up at 530 to meet Blaze at 6am is rough but worth it. I love it so much, somewhere to be and something I have to do, all benefitting my self! I already feel great and I am only half way done.

I am so happy to be back at school because all my girls are here! It is so nice to have them around and and have someone to turn to close to me!

So far, September has gone well and I cant wait for October and the holidays, planning a trip to Ohio soon to visit my family and the places I love, and make sure Justin loves them too!

I'll try harder to keep up, I promise.

last first day of school

Well Hello, yes I know I fell off the face of the Earth but I'm back and I'm ready to catch up!

I started my senior year of college today. Oh my. I can't hardly believe it and my family is in denial I have actually grown up. of course I have an easy schedule including graphic design, art history, painting, and three dimensional design. Finally all in my major and everything I love.

I moved from Greensboro to High Point into a 2 bedroom apartment off campus for the year! I am so excited! I am living with one of my best friends, Ashleigh and Justin!! So a lot of big things are happening right now. The apartment is absolutely adorable! We got the opportunity to paint so it's colorful and cute! After a lot of heavy lifting (thank you Justin, Jerry and Sam) and pretty details it finally feels like home. I am so happy to have come this far. I have taken on a lot of adult responsibilities and it feels great that I have something to work for and even better when I accomplish it.

Every thing is going amazing so far! I miss my family a lot but like they keep telling me, this is my final year to have as much fun as I want and be young!
