cherry blossom trees

I just love them. Someday I wish to travel to Japan, and experience the bloom of these trees. I think it would be lovely.

love in february

I'll try not to be super sappy, but I am truly happy. I have an amazing boyfriend. He's my best friend, and I like him a lot. We have been friends for five years, and recently loved bloomed, if you will. He recently came to Ohio for a visit. He lives in Seattle, which is the city I am planning to move to in June. We have a lot of fun together. He is simply wonderful!

Also I must add, he completely surprised me at work yesterday for Valentine's Day. He sent me a beautiful tea pot, that he purchased in Seattle and brought with him when he came. He entrusted it to some friends of ours,  in fact a friend who works with me. She put it in my locker at work yesterday morning, and I was so surprised! He is so sweet, and I am so thankful for him. 

I'll leave you with a snapshot of us two.

Seattle, here I come. soon soon!

fresh beginning

So why a fresh start, you may ask? I like to look at it like that. It's simply fun I say. I've blogged in the past while I lived overseas as a means for updates, (I didn't enjoy that very much) I've blogged as a means to just write and express my emotions during a difficult season in my life, it was just for myself. And now my journey continues. I hope it is inspiring. I'm no one grand, just a girl learning how to love and live authentically in this life.

I love beauty & extravagant things. I value simplicity. This blog will be honest, and will be nothing less than just me sharing my heart, adventures, and the beautiful things my eye and camera captures along the way.
