My New City

Here are 5 things I like about my new city.

1.There is a market every week with lots of yummy things to try.
2. I can see glimpses of the ocean through my windows.
3. There are lots of fun little shops and eateries near by.
4. I found a little grocery store that reminds me of a place my grandma use to shop at frequently while I was little.
5. I can drive 5 minuets one way and be by sky scrapers or I can drive 5 minuets the other way and be surrounded by trees.

Well world, the semester is almost over. Onto the loveliness (and warmth) of summer So what am I doing this summer. Well, I am going to try to decorate my lovely little apartment, take an online class, enjoy the weather and the ocean, have visitors and write a story. Now I just need to pick one to focus on. Decisions Decisions.

Parts of my new home remind me of Australia. Maybe its just the twisted old tree I can see outside my living room window.

Exciting!

Everyone needs some excitement in their life. I think that it should be an almost daily thing. It doesn't have to be a big thing it just has to be a "OH YEA!" thing.

These are 10 things that I get excited over. They aren't in any order and some aren't even my top 10.

1. A sugary treat (lemon bars, cupcakes, Daddy N's pumpkin pie, Mum's molasses cookies)
2. A LDS based conference of sorts (General Conference, Women Conference, EFY)
3. Anything that my sister or mom makes
4. Trips (especially when they involve family, the ocean, a new place, a familair place I haven't been to in a while or a foreign country)
5. Eating out
6. Hugs from Super S
7. Seeing little people (anyone under the age of 8, which makes shopping at a busy time great)
8. When Brett comes home from work (I even did this when we were just friends)
9. Christmas
10. Changes in the weather (it changes my wardrobe options)

Whats great is that today will probably include four of those things. I just have to plan it so that I visit my sister when she is cooking. :)

Cardigans!

I recently heard about a place that sells a plethora of cardigans. The place is LOVEculture. Not only do they have a plethora of options but they are inexpensive. Since they are inexpensive AND I am moving to a new city in a new state, I decided that I could splurge and get one. Now I just have to decide which one.

Owl

I have this thing for owls. A few years ago I made owl stationary with some card stocks and my mothers stamps. Just recently I found this necklace at the Etsy shop Melmic. It is on sale for $5. I like it but I am not going to buy it because I am on a budget. But I think that someone should. After all, its a wise old owl.

SNOW is falling all around,
on the house tops, on the ground,

SNOW is falling every where,
on my head and hands and hair.

I don't know who wrote that song but we sang it in primary ( primary: a class where LDS children sing songs and learn about the basic principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ)

Just so you know, it also snows in you car if it is really powdery and your AC is accidentally set to bring in the air from out side. It is not much but is still a weird thing when you are driving.

Happy February.
