..making home..

I came across a list in my old journal yesterday entitled "making home". It made me smile because my (gorgeous) husband and I are in the process of moving out of our first apartment together, and into a charming little condo we were recently able to buy. I feel so many things right now, but what impresses me most is this unexpected feeling that we're going home. As though our first couple of years were spent playing house, and now it's time for the real thing. I hadn't even been aware of feeling this way, but it's a good thing and I wanted to share it...along with the charming little list that I found.

comforting & charming decor

music

good lighting

good fragrance

(relatively) clean

chai tea

candles

photographs

fresh flowers

bath tub

a nice view

chick flicks (..like Beaches & the Holiday..)

worshipping / fellowshipping

something to look forward to (..project..)

family / love

affection

knowing you can be yourself

I can't wait..

..P.S. I also can't wait for the holidays this year (which is a first for me)..

..my Christiana..

beautiful..like 'my eyebrows & beauty mark make me look like a model even though I just rolled out of bed' beautiful . full of kindness . innately treats others with the same care she gives to her self . able to love with every fiber of her being . brave enough to choose the harder but far more rewarding path of sharing her life with someone..hanging her all on love..even though she could've created a comfortable pretty life by herself has undying faith in people . the most giving person I know . amidst all her self sacrificing she still sees the beauty in receiving . a dreamer . a serious believer in dreams..her own and those of others . excellent sense of priorities . smart . not a push~over . revels in the details of life . good at being a girl . great at being a friend . drinks water out of goblets just to make the every~day seem special . has a mothers' heart . spontaneous and fun . just unsure enough about her greatness to be really endearing and loveable

..I feel blessed because..

I've had butterflies land on me more than once in my life
I've known true love

I have a cozy, pretty bed and a gorgeous husband to share it with

I have enough time to enjoy life

I have enough accomplishment to feel secure

I have enough inspiration to create something new

I have enough bohemian eccentricity to feel special

I have a mother who wanted nothing more than to be a mother

I have a brother

I have a father who gets so excited to talk to me he has to try and play it cool
I delight in small things

I have girlfriends who love my soul

I'm female (and therefore get to shop at Anthropologie)

I have God's unfailing attention and devotion
