Teaser.

Just some random bits from our new place. This is a bit of a teaser because you can't actually see our new place. Hehe. I admit that as a total perfectionist I'm just not happy with it! (The white carpet is killing me!!) But there are certain corners, nooks, and areas that I just love. So I thought I'd share. Which bit is your favorite?

We are off to Seattle today and tonight for a quick getaway. After a long work week, it's much needed. I've also been a little down in the dumps lately because of a batch of homesickness. I guess that's what you get when you move away from home and start a life somewhere else and keep remembering past lives when The Lumineers come on. But that's all part of life and growing up, no?

Back.

I'm back! I just wanted to take a quick moment to tell you that I'm around and plan on updating my blog slowly but surely. It might take me a little while to get back into the blogging routine again (I won't be posting as much because of my crazy busy schedule) but I certainly haven't forgotten about my blog and those of you who enjoy reading it!  Actually, I think about my blog at least once a day. So enough procrastinating. Here I am! xo Caroline

Traditions.

Everyone seems to be posting about apple picking these days, and now so am I! Jimmy and I went to an apple orchard/pumpkin patch on Saturday to pick up some festive treats for Thanksgiving, including apples for an apple pie I made for our Sunday turkey dinner. I was WAY over dressed for our outing (a sweater, boots, and pants + mid-day sun beating down on me) so, unfortunately, we didn't last long amongst the trees. But it was fun nonetheless! It has now become kind of a tradition for us (thanks to my pushing, let's be honest), which makes me realize how much the little things in life matter to me - apple picking and pumpkin choosing, for example, and even mundane activities such as home-made apple pie and intimate chit chat. I don't know, I guess the more and more I adjust to "adult" life, the more and more I realize how precious life is ... which is both scary and relieving.

Happy Thanksgiving.

The Flea Market.

I went to a local flea market last Sunday and it was such an adventure! When I first arrived I was so overwhelmed with the amount of used, new, antique, and vintage items but the feeling turned out to be a nice change. You should have seen me; I was rushing about from booth to booth trying to make sure I got a good look at everything. I didn't want to miss even one deal! Luckily, Jimmy was there to capture my movements on camera.
