Favorite Things

In life there are things that a person can find truly enjoyable. These things make your life worth living and give you hope. Here are a few of my favorite things. When I think of them it makes my heart warm.

Peter's laugh, God's presence in worship time, a warm bowl of soup on a rainy day, when my husband holds me right before i fall asleep, when Peter lays his head on my shoulder when he is tired, everything about the ocean - sand in my toes, cool salty breeze, the sound of the waves crashing, the colors of the water, cottage homes and their decor.

The weekend of August 17th my sister and I and our boys drove to Manzinita, OR, a small town on the coast of Oregon, to support my Aunt Susan in her celebration ceremony. We stayed at an amazing house that had vaulted ceilings, with floor to ceiling windows and the most beautiful ocean view. I enjoyed staying at that house so much. I want to buy that house! Ever since that trip I can't stop day dreaming about living at the ocean. And it has completely inspired me in a decorating theme for my house.

So where have I been, why haven't I blogged in so long? Well, for the past month I've been painting my kitchen cabinets white and preparing for Peter's One year old birthday party. It was a huge project for me but I love my kitchen now, and I am one step closer to having a costal inspired home decor.
