Six years (1/1/11)

 Today marks the 6 year anniversary of Ian and I being together. It has been quite the adventure, and I've loved every minute of it. So, to commemorate this occasion, here are a few old (REALLY old) and newer photos of our time together.

                                        

Hope you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve/Day. Cheers to a year full of fun and excitement.

I will be posting tomorrow about a new weekly series that I am starting. Can't wait!

Goodnight xoxo

New Years Aspirations

I can honestly say I've probably never kept a New Years Resolution. I think they are kind of tough to upkeep! Rarely are they just simple goals that are positive things to work towards, they are extreme life changes. Lose weight, stop bad habits, etc. But with it being a new year, I really wanted to come up with a few goals for myself. Things to work towards, and things to help improve life as a whole.

Here is my list of New Years Aspirations:
1. Learn to stop beating myself up over silly things.
2. Show my husband how much I adore him everyday.
3. Set up my Etsy shop.
4. Take more pictures of everyday life.
5. Increase my knowledge and skill as a stylist.
6. Grow closer to my Savior, and to the people in my life.
7. Travel somewhere. ANYWHERE.

I am excited about my list! I'm going to save it so I can see where I'm at when it is almost 2012 (YIKES).

Do you guys make any resolutions?

See you later!
Kelsey.

I'm back! (Hopefully for good!)

OK, I am finally ready to begin again in the world of blogging!

Over the past few weeks I have:
1. Found a new apartment.
2. Packed up the old one in only a week or so.
3. Moved to our new apartment in downtown Seattle. I'm in LOVE.
4. Unpacked and got settled in.
5. Went to quite a few Christmas parties.
6. Did some extremely last minute Christmas shopping.
7. Walked about 534596 miles. City life will do that to you.
8.Celebrated Christmas.

So here I am, staring out my window at the insane view we have (see below), and I am so excited to be back!

 Moving is such insanity. I don't enjoy it one bit. Yet, I've moved about 5-6 times in 4 years. You would think I'd learn my lesson, huh?

The year is almost over, and I find that so crazy. I know, I know, who doesn't? I just could not keep up with how fast the year went. Christmas was great. I'm blessed to have Ian's family to celebrate with. I have fun things planned for blogging over the next few weeks, and I cannot wait for what is to come.

Stay tuned for posts coming your way soon.

Slacker

I know, I know. Way to be lame and not update my blog in two weeks! But, I have a good reason. I promise.

On Wednesday, the hubs and I are moving to Seattle. We are excited beyond belief. And needless to say, packing is a pain in the rear. We found out we got the apartment last Monday, and have been going crazy trying to get ready to move. Funny how you realize how much stuff you have only when you are required to move it all! Our new place is AWESOME.  It is in the heart of Seattle, and we have an awesome view of the Space Needle. It's small, but hey, location makes up for that!

Anyways, I have big plans to be a much more regular blogger. I just have to get all ready to move, and then I will get on it. I'm also finally opening my etsy shop in January. I am so excited! I've been selling headbands at work, and people seem to like them.

New Years Resolution: Etsy shop and blogging success!


Be back soon!

Thanksgiving in pictures (Friday)

                                                 Baby Cali. She is darling!
 

                                                                                 

                                                  


                       And now, I would like to introduce a special selection of photos titled:
                                                 "The many faces of Miss Annie."
                                            

                             Is she not the cutest thing in the world? She is a blast to be around!
                                    
  Holidays can sometimes be hard for me. Not being with my side of the family is a bit sad at times. But I am SO blessed to have Ian's family around. I love them! We ate a ton of food (of course) and we have a ton to eat as leftovers.
  Hope everyone out there had a great time yesterday, and are enjoying the madness that is Black Friday!

Snowed In (Tuesday)

The past few days have been pretty wild. We got a ton of snow! I think there was only about an inch of snow predicted at first, but I think we got at least five inches! Here are some pictures of what it looked like yesterday morning.

                                                         

     There is something kind of magical about the snow! It makes your surroundings almost unrecognizable. Like you are on vacation somewhere! I was in love with it, until about 3:30pm today. I have been in my apartment for two days, and I am DYING to get out. I may be heading to the grocery store, and I think it will be amazing. Our electric bill is probably going to be through the roof, I've had the heat turned all the way up for two days! But, I think it's allowed when it is about 25 degrees outside.

     Sure, a few lazy days can be awesome. But after two days, and work being closed, I am pretty ready to go outside.
                                                    
                                                      

     I did get a LOT of things done though, including a ton of knitted things, which will be on my etsy shop soon! I will share the link as soon as they are available.

 Now I am off to enjoy the evening with my husband, and going on a thrilling grocery store outing.

Cold. (Friday)

It is getting so cold here in Seattle. I am kind of loving it, except for Friday nights that I spend alone(while my hubby is spending time with a friend), trying to

keep warm but my feet are still freezing! But, cold means Christmas is coming! Yay!

I am really inspired by knitting lately. I have plans for a etsy shop in the near future,

and have already sold some things to my co-workers. 

Here's an example of a cute headband I am working on for a coworker!

It's a little blurry though, I apologize.

I feel like this knitting deal is exactly what I needed right now.

I love it, and it just feels right to be doing it!

In other news, my hubby is browsing downtown Seattle tomorrow for

an amazing apartment for us to live in. I know he will find something wonderful, I can feel it.

I've also decided to give myself a challenge. I have to update my blog at least 3 times a week.

I really can do it, but I always forget!

Yarn,  toasty blankets, and headband love,

Kelsey.
