.stevens pass.

What an adventurous day! Spent the day snowboarding at Steven's Pass! I went with Tim and his friends (Charissa, Andy, Scott, Sam, and David). I had a great time! It started out with Tim getting assaulted by a 60 year old man. A little scary and I was ready to stand up for my man. Us girls ran to the restroom while the guys stood in line for lift tickets. We came back, stepped over the chain and got back in line with our men. A man a few people back, yelled "what are we just cutting in line over chains?" Tim, thinking he was joking, said "ya, that's how we roll." We'll Tim turned around and immediately the guy started grabbing the throat of his jacket and pulling him in ready to fight. Tim's friends helped push the guy back and the guy continued to cuss Tim out and give him a hard time. Thankfully the guy eventually backed off, but it still freaked me out!

I enjoyed my day snowboarding - even though I'm not that good and I ended up with a concussion (a minor one that leaves me with a headache, a little nausea, and a sore neck). I had fun hanging out with Tim and his friends...

Ended the evening with my fam and Tim's family hanging out, eating food, and playing games! I love seeing our two families getting to hangout and get to know each other...

.new year.

Hello again! It's new years day! January 1, 2012. Exciting huh? Something different is in the air for 2012 for me. I'm not sure what it is yet, but I'm excited. I'm in a good place right now and completely happy. I've got a good job that I enjoy, I've been doing well in school, I've just moved into my first home (apartment!), and I'm surrounded by people who love me and whom I love. Life couldn't get any better.

I miss blogging. I want the chance to inspire and share my thoughts. Trying to get back into blogging... here it goes! 365 days....

Instead of doing daily outfit posts, I will take pictures of my daily outfits and post them all on Friday. I've challenged myself with a new fashion challenge to wear each item in my closet once through before wearing something twice. I can re-wear blazers, ECT, but the top underneath needs to be completely different than what I've worn before...

Other days I will fill my blog with thoughts, DIY projects, ideas, ect. We'll see how it goes. The idea is for it still to include fashion, but extend that art and creativity into other areas! Let me know what you think as time goes on...

So to start it out, I want to update you on my apartment! I moved into an apartment with a roommate in Kirkland! I'm so excited! It is home. It has been so fun decorating... It's not completely done. This is just the stage that I'm at. Who knew that setting up the internet and cable would be such a hassle as well? At least it's done!

Have a good new years day!

.Inspiring Light.

Inspiring Light.

Once Full of passion.

Each day an exciting journey.

Joy found in sunrise
and Peace found in sunset
every moment a waking dream
living
breathing
loving
laughing.

Each small part
taken in light
for the love and grace surround.
from young to old
from sad to happy
each individual a new
face to inspire
and be inspired.

Life inspire round
with little fear or doubt.
what joy may capture my soul
and fill it
making it whole again.

remind my heart of love once around
not of beings but of hearts
each filled with stories
all filled with passion and faith.
For so still exist but must be sought out
to find thy hope for me.

Must I let my heart be free
and fear not of breaking wings
for when I fly but one second
is better then life bound in chains.

So fly with wings like eagles
and see what lies around.
Hearts and lives of
grace
life
love
light
and above all passion that abounds grace.

Be free and fly
Let life inspire passion.

.dove chocolate.

MMM.... I think I had too many pieces of dove chocolate today, but boy was it satisfying to my taste buds as I continue to work on this paper at 1:00 in the morning! A good day today! Painted this afternoon after class and finally finished my painting after a lot of frustration. Went to work and had a great day, despite the slowness, and came back and did homework!

It's so cold!!! Average temp was 40 degrees Fahrenheit!

.scentsy.

Scentsy warmers use a low-watt bulb to slowly melt specially formulated wax that is scented. the scent lasts about a week, and then it's time to change the cube. I absolutely love my scentsy and use it all the time in my dorm room! The reason I'm talking about it tonight is because I just got more wax in the mail today! I'm excited.

I bought French Lavender, Whiteout, pumkin roll (which I'm not actually a huge fan of), Festivals of Trees, Autumn sunset, and cozy fireside. =)

.start something that matters.

I'm so excited to have bought this book! Though I don't know how much time I'll have to read in between homework, I decided I needed something I'll enjoy reading that is not school work. The book "Start Something that Matters" by the founder of Toms, Blake Mycoskie, is about inspiring to start something great to make change. This book surrounds the idea of exactly what I want to do, start a nonprofit to benefit foster kids.

Even better? For every book purchased, a new children's book is given to a child in need.

A triple date today with some of Tim's friends. Ate pizza, played games, hung out, and watched the movie Megatron will eating Honey Popcorn! =)
