Dreaming Since 1997

  Good morning! Today, I want to write about a few things that will ALWAYS make me happy. We need some extra happiness today, so I'll be looking for these things: 1. Coffee! In the morning, afternoon, evening, literally whenever. There is never a  wrong  time for a cup. It's the cozy hug in a mug you didn't know you needed. It's the flavor of the season (peppermint, pumpkin, or lavender depending on the time of year).  2. Coming home at the end of a long day. This is where my chaos and anxiety melt away into peace. I love coming home. My little family is here, greeting me at the door with wagging tails.  3. Reading/flipping through a magazine. Since I was in middle school, I have loved a good magazine. The articles and fashion- it's almost like Pinterest! There's something nostalgic about the glossy pages, flipping back and forth. Oooh, I could get lost in some.  4. Buying yarn! Looking at all of the beautiful colors, neatly wound up into skeins. It's such ...

   Hello readers! Probably just my mom and sister, but that's okay! For some crazy reason, I really enjoy typing up my little posts, adding some photos, and publishing it on the internet! Anway, today is  Thankful Thursday , and I gotta say, I love  Thankful Thursdays . I find these are my favorite posts to write. I truly am blessed. Listing out some random things that I'm thankful for always puts me in a great mood. I know I have a lot to pray about, but I think all prayers need to include thanksgiving to the One who gives! Alright, let's go! 1. I am thankful for my home. It's not the biggest, nicest home ever, but I love this place. It is my favorite place I've ever lived. It was built in the early 1950's (1951 I believe). It's simple but we have helped give it some character. I love our cozy rooms, and I love the deck and backyard area. Decorating it has been such a joyous project, and it's ongoing! I am always looking for ways to make the most of wh...

    Welcome back!  Today's post is all about 10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Me! I found a few different "get to know a person" questionnaires on Pinterest, and kind of made my own. So, without further ado, here are 10 things about me!  1. I LOVE shoes. Especially heels. I love wearing heels when I go out. Being 5'2", I like being a little taller when I'm around my friends. I think shoes make the outfit. If you're wearing jeans and a sweater, why not add boots with a heel to make it more feminine?  2. I love old movies. Black and white movies are so fun to watch. I used to always have TCM on tv, just letting old movie after old movie play. I love how actors and actresses used to speak. I guess that was just how they talked, but it's so interesting to me now. I especially love James Stewart and Audrey Hepburn.  This was the day after Thomas proposed to me in his first apartment. You can see the Audrey Hepburn and  It's A Wonderful Life...
