..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)..
