phoenix.

i will be seeing these guys in concert on April 30th.

a group of us bought tickets yesterday, and i

could not be more excited!

"dance party room only tickets?" i think yes.

it's a framer.

lately, i have been really into home decor

and i love these frames.

since i won't be living here much longer

i don't want to do too much, but i love these!

-- you can find them here.

"far from what i once was, but not yet what i'm going to be..."

i spend majority of my daydreaming.

i absolutely love to dream about what is unknown at this point.

here are a few things i {dream} about...

i {dream} about living in a big city.

i wonder what it will be like to constantly reside in a metropolitan area rather than to simply visit on the weekends.

i {dream} about living in a high-rise.

i long to look through my window and see city lights.

i {dream} about decorating an apartment that is my very own.

i have an inspiration folder i constantly put pictures and jot ideas down in.

i {dream} about traveling to places i haven't been to yet.

if an idea in my mind of what the various places look like.

i {dream} about my future husband.

i wonder if we have met before or if it someone i have yet to come in contact with.

i {dream} about my future children.

i wonder what they will look like and what i will name them.

i {dream} about being completely content again.

i {dream} about outfits i intend to put together.

(as silly as that sounds)

i {dream} about potential photo ops.

i'm slightly obsessed with photography if you can't tell.

what do you dream about?

my valentine's day.

i {love} valentine's day. i love the colors, and heart themed stuff.
i intended to make several heart shaped desserts but it didn't happen.

this valentine's day was a little different being that it

was my first valentine's day single since 2003.

it was surprisingly a very good one, however.

i went to austin to see my best friend, and we did dinner and dessert

with some of her girl friends.

i got several special valentine's surprises which made my day.

valentine's might just be my second favorite holiday.

-- i loved {starbucks} heart cups this week.

they made me a little warm and fuzzy each time i got one!

my loves.

in honor of valentine's day, i decided to make a list of things that i love:

i love: my family.

they are so supportive and are like close friends,

and i love that we have that relationship.

i love: "the hardcore four."

i can't imagine what the last few months would

have been like without them.

i love: starbucks.

it's the only way to get me going in the morning,

and i just love feeling so content sitting a table with

journals/hw/the internet with a fresh cappuccino.

i love: the girls.

it makes me sad, we are all growing up and

continuing our lives in various cities.

i love: photography/polaroids.

i have had so much fun recently editing pictures, and

i love that i have a good portion of my life documented.

i love: arts and crafts.

the past week i have a made a tutu, valentine's, and ect.

i love: feeling loved.

i am so blessed, and it feels good to know that people care.

i love: city lights.

i love driving through the city and looking up through the

sun roof at the big buildings.

i love: summertime.

i love spending time at the beach with my feet in the sand

and a good book and relaxing music playing on my ipod.

i love: to dance.

one of the reasons i love my friends so much.

i love: fashion.

the day always feels better when i dress up,

and when i walk into a {good} mall i always feel happy

(even if i don't buy anything)

i love: to travel.

i love to visit different places, and have a long list of places

i have yet to visit and hope to some day.

i love: music.

especially electronic right now.

i love daydreaming to new songs.

i love: tv shows and chick flicks.

i enjoy getting lost in someone elses life,

and getting hope from their happy ending.

lastly and most importantly,

i love: jesus.

i love knowing that he is always there for me, and

that i am never really alone.
