Our life around the world...

I mentioned in my first post that Tommy and I have travelled the world. We are fortunate enough to be only twenty something and have lived on three different continents. I thought I would share some of my favorite photos from the places I have called home, and adventures we have embarked on. 


I now have a fancy camera, a Nikon 5100 and am determined to learn how to properly use it. I actually just signed up for a photography class this month, so stay tuned for some good photos ahead! These photos do not reflect the photographer that I hope to some day be, but will give you an idea of the journey my life has taken me on.


The Southeast... One of our trips to Hilton Head, S.C., where I grew up going to the beach with my family.

Melbourne, Australia. I fell in love with this city from the minute I arrived.

Phillip Island, Australia... Where Tommy and I got engaged!

Sunshine Coast, Australia... A tropical paradise. 


Brugge, Belgium (we called Belgium home for 6 months).

Paris

Mount Rainer, Washington.

Washington State (our home for one year).

Vancouver, B.C. (one of our adventures).

Utah (the place we currently call home).


Life is and adventure and I am so lucky to get to travel the world with my best friend.


Stay tuned for some more adventures in "pinning". I have some projects in the works, a DIY hair piece for one of my best friends upcoming weddings, a DIY wreath that can be used for any season and trying to organize a closet full of scarves (I have SO many scarves)...

"I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering" Steven Wright

This quote pretty much sums it up for me! I have spent twenty something years daydreaming (or trying to daydream) about everything! I decided to start this blog to gather all those "dreams" of mine and put them to good use. How many of you spend a good part of your days "pinning"? If you know about pinterest, then you surely know what I am talking about. Pinterest is like virtual daydreaming for me and it has sucked me into the vortex as well. I have spent many hours happily "pinning" away. On this blog, I am going to share with you some of those ideas that I am determined to make come to life. I will also share the happenings of mine and Tommy's new life in SLC, and hopefully some of my own ideas and creations too.


Here are some photos of our drive from Gig Harbor, WA to SLC, UT.






We moved to SLC at the end of October 2011. After spending the last six years together traveling back and forth between Georgia, Australia, Belgium and Seattle, we decided to settle our behinds down in SLC, UT of all places! We founds a cute little duplex and I have spent the last two months or so hanging photos, moving furniture and collecting all those items that make a house (or apartment) feel like home. It is still a work in progress, and good practice for when we own a house of our own one day (that I can actually paint and renovate).
