Wanna be

Dating B has stirred in me several thing that have been buried for some time....my love of the outdoors, a comfort in being alone and a creepy sense of humor.  It has also introduced me to wonderfully new things like backpacking, "meandering," and Norway!  The more I get to know about the lovely little place the more obsessed I become with the idea of one day living there.  AND with half of B's family still there (the rest are in England...definite plus to dating him right?!) the possibility of it happening someday is not so far off.  Below are a few things I've come to love about the place and people. 

1. Norwegian waffles with brown cheese...need I say more?

Have a wonderful week!

Spring Cleaning

I have this horrible habit (okay I have more than one horrible habit but lets focus on one for now shall we?) of stuffing anything and everything into my purse including, but not limited to, receipts, gum wrappers, paycheck stubs, 1000s of pens, loose change, etc, etc, etc.  Very rarely do I clean any of it out so by the time my purse has a few miles on it it is weighed down by the sheer amount of trash that's collected in the various pockets.  Another bad habit of mine is I hate, I repeat HATE to clean out my purse.  I usually end up just buying a new purse before I convince myself to just clean out the old one.  Long story short....it's time for a new purse!  :)

My current bag is a tan, leather, across the body bag from Fossil that I love but for my next bag I think I'd like to go with something a bit more substantial that I can throw my book, water bottle and ever growing collection of gum wrappers in.

Happy Friday!!!

Home sweet home

Searching for a home has got B and I talking about what we want our future home to look like.  While my style is more eclectic, B has a very minimalist style with a focus on the masculine...cowhide rugs, roaring fires, lots of wood, and no, I repeat NO throw pillows haha.  The thought of building a home together is so exciting.  I can't wait to see what it will look like! :)

Lovely cowhide rug.

I am determined to have a bright white kitchen at least one time in my life! With poured concrete counters of course.

B and I have both agreed that a farmhouse sink is a must.

How lovely is this reclaimed wood table?  B and I are convinced that we'll be able to make our own.  Such dreamers haha.

B has several demands that he just won't budge on.  #1 any and all staircases must be spiral.

#2 Fireplaces must be excessively large, stone and wood burning.

#3 Indoor fruit trees are a must. I'm going to have a tough time convincing him that some plants are just eye candy as he believes anything worth growing must be edible.
