j - town.
j-town has really outdone itself recently. and i have totally loved it. here's some of what i'm talking about...enjoy :)
oh! and guess what?! two of my favorite people came into town! hurray for great in-laws!

our apartment
i thought i would give a little look into our little life. :)
my girly bathroom. i love everything about this bathroom from the pink towels to the flowered shower curtain.
part 2 of my girly bathroom. headbands, a darkroom timer, vintage prints and perfume.
our bedroom. evan and i agreed on the color green when we were registering and i am glad we picked a color we both can still enjoy.
side view b of our bedroom.
our latest addition in the master bedroom. prints hung from curtain rods.
our guest bathroom. this shower curtain was one of the best gifts we received from our wedding - we've had it for over 2 years and i think it still looks practically new.
my craft/fun room. where i keep my darkroom equipment, my sewing machine, and a lot of my treasures. someday this room will have more than posters from my college days as decoration.
craft room view b.
our dining room. our dining room table is seriously by far my favorite thing in our apartment. our dining room features those wonderful ugly sliding door blinds. but it also features antique plates and prints.
the hubby's study.
hallway.
our linen/store everything closet.
kitchen view a.
kitchen view b. i used to spend practically no time in here other than at the microwave. but, recently i've been cooking a little more. let's hope this trend continues.
our living room features a red leather chair evan and i gave each other for christmas, a garage sale floral couch, a mini couch my friends janeane and courtney helped me re-upholster after we found it on the side of the road, an outdoor light, a mirror evan and i gave each other for valentines day 3 years ago, a vintage photo i bought at a thrift store of a very serious lady, and a few other treasures.
okay so there's our house. i am always wanting to paint it and while i can, im not sure it's worth it in a rental i know i won't be in forever. any thoughts on how to add color to my craft room (and others) without using paint?

spring is here.
and i think it calls for a few things to be in order.
**first things first, a new haircut. well maybe. i love this short style :)
**and secondly, spring calls for a wish list. here's a preview of mine. more to come.
fun, bright, and eccentric headbands. because nothing says spring like a giant flower in your hair.
shoes with bows. because everything is cuter with bows.
a long flowing spring dress that says "get me to a beach pronto!" :)
and lastly, polka dots. must i explain? these are crazy cute for any season. love this skirt!
again, more to come. what's on your wish list this spring? getting a new do? or found the perfect spring dress? do share!

a shout out to the best guy i know.
i'm married to the world's greatest guy who lets me sing at the top of my lungs and spoils me with his kindness. he laughs with me, listens to my crazy stories, eats my burnt cooking, takes me out to see my favorite movies, takes me on crazy roadtrips, surprises me, and takes me out on dates where we order a big chocolate chip cookie for dinner. :) i love him.

twenty five.
my 25th birthday is in a few days so i thought this list was appropriate.
alright. here goes nothing...
25 Random things about…well me.
1. I am sort of addicted to winter coats. I can’t help it. They’re just so luring. I took them all out and counted them one day in a hope to realize my ridiculousness and stop this addiction, however it did nothing but make me a little embarrassed I owned so many that were the same color.
2. I love flying. Put me on a plane and I’m happy. I don’t really even mind where I’m going. I really like the people I meet in planes. I’ve sat next to dance company members, restaurant managers, band members - I meet the most interesting people in those little crowded places.
3. I used to run quite strangely, to the point that this and only this is what I am remembered for in elementary school.
4. I looked at joining the Air Force after college and still consider it an option for the future.
5. I consistently miss my old boss from Kemper- like everyday at my new job.
6. I collect old cameras and old atlas books.
7. In my current job, the word vagina probably is one of the most used words in our workplace vocabulary.
8. People used to say I walk like Meg Ryan. I think we both walk a little tomboy like.
9. I swear I saw Brad Pitt at Steak N Shake in Springfield years ago.
10. My life used to revolve around music. I sang in 4 choirs, took private lessons since I can remember, and of course, picked my college based on vocal music. I was planning on majoring in vocal music or music business and surprisingly and somewhat sadly, music is not really a part of my life anymore. Hopefully it will be again someday.
11. My best friend lives in England and her and I seriously have a friendship of gold that was put through fire. It could be made into a movie. Roommates, sworn enemies, best friends. She’s the best. I miss her pretty much all the time. No one else is brave/crazy enough to request the Macerena with me at dance parties.
12. I almost literally knocked over Ryan Seacrest at the American Idol auditions in Kansas City at Kemper Arena.
13. I used to have great teeth. I didn’t have a cavity until college - which is sort of amazing if you knew how much sugar I intake.
14. I dance like a crazy person and love every minute of it. Basically I have no shame.
15. I had crazy pink glittery pants and snake print doc martin boots in high school. I have no clue why. I also had short spikey hair that I would make pink, blue or purple with some crazy hair gel. Fun times.
16. Sometimes I think people think my husband and I are a funny fit. He’s going to be a doctor. I’m hoping to be a Photographer. I love him. He is the Greg to my Dharma.
17. I studied in the manor (some would say castle) in England where the Haunting was filmed. I still dream of moving back overseas.
18. I would say most people consider me somewhat outgoing but if you really know me, you know I’m somewhat awkward and nervous in most public situations.
19. I really don’t enjoy when people downplay communication degrees. I think my senior paper and senior speech can compete with any other degree’s senior project.
20. I’m really not your typical sorority girl and yet sorority girl I am.
21. I once prayed for a sign and saw an angel in my backyard. Even so, sometimes I have a hard time believing.
22. I had one horrible fall in cross country training my freshman year of high school. Literally mashed up half my face and was called two face the rest of that summer.
23. When I was announced at the Homecoming dance for court I came out with my cross country running shoes on.
24. I really want a tattoo but am afraid of needles.
25. I love polka dots, bows, and all things pink.
