I may travel the world, but I still need a place to lay my head.

I've been trying to switch gears over the past year from the crazy college life to a state of semi-permanence. I have moved eleven times in the past twenty-two years, and I never really quite feel settled. I have problems hanging stuff on the walls and emptying all the boxes, because I know I'm going to have to pack it all up again in a few months.

My new house has been such a blessing for me, because even though I am once again moving, it is such a homely place, and I have been able to feel grounded there. There are pictures on all my walls and I even used nails instead of sticky tac! But with my upcoming marriage, I'm really looking forward to some stability in the area of house-ish stuff (although with my love's deployment it may still be a little while). But it's there on the horizon and something to welcome eventually.

So needless to say, I'm a little obsessed right now with home things, appliances specifically. I just found the most amazing line of new-but-vintage-looking refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers etc. that come in like every color (Big Chill). My favorite is the ridiculously unaffordable cream fridge...Hello, beautiful.

so they dug your grave and the masquerade will come calling out at the mess you've made

Happy Halloween <3

Oh, when the day is blue, I'll sit here wondering about you.

Today marks the first day of the first week since September that I will not be on the road. I am so excited to get back into a routine and have some structure to my life. Not to mention get to work on planning this wedding! It's amazing how quickly life can change. I have experienced more life in the past month with Tom than in the past three years I spent without him all together. That's a picture from my "Leave your fear of love behind" wedding board on Pinterest. I'm going with simple and perfect, inspired by my groom.
