This Is Where I Live

I realize I've been failing at keeping up lately, life has just been so busy, and I don't forsee it slowing down anytime soon, but I will try harder to keep up.

This past week, my best friend has been here visiting from Minnesota, so of course we had to do all of the touristy things. We visited Seattle, went to the Space Needle and of course the famous Pike Place Market. Dined at The Melting Pot, went shopping, took a trip to the Pacific Ocean. All in all it was a fantastic time and I was very sad to drop her off at the airport this morning.

I will leave you guys with some beautiful photos that sum up why I love living in this beautiful state :)


Gorgeous view of Puget Sound and the mountains




Beautiful boquet of flowers I bought


The Pacific Ocean. Have you ever been some place and it felt like it was exactly where you were meant to be? That's exactly how I feel when I'm near the ocean. I love the salty air, and the sound of sea gulls, the wind blowing off the ocean. I could move to Ocean Shores WA tomorrow and be content for the rest of my life.


Being artsy

Exactly One Month

From now, I will be getting married =D I really really can't believe it!! This means that our reception is only 4 months away, holy crap! I'm starting to feel like I have a lot to do now!

Today is also the day I officially started my diet. I've been thinking about it and talking about it, but I'm finally putting it into action. I just want to feel good about myself again. I thought about joining Weight Watchers, but I just can't justify spending the money every month with everything we have going on right now. So instead I'm keeping a food diary and counting calories. I think it will help me be a lot more aware of what I eat, and also to practice portion control. So hopefully I'll be able to drop some of this extra weight so I can look fabulous for the reception.


And in other exciting news, my best friend booked her flight to visit me over her spring break later this month and I could not be more excited! It will be her first ever time to Washington and it will be so much fun!

I just feel so blessed to have so many exciting things going on in my life right now <3
