Mellow…

I am HATING the current weather in Oregon… and it seems this yummy yellow color might just break me out of my funk! Hmm… Next paycheck?

Hope it stops raining!

The Big 22!

Goodbye to 21.

 All in all this year has been pretty incredible, I won’t lie it started out with some bumps and bruises, and it taught oh so many lessons along the way. If I could bottle the past year of my life, it would be some damn good wine.

I am so proud of the family I have, and the one I have built around me over the past few years, and looking back and 21, I don’t know if I could have ever done anything without them. The biggest lessons in life come to us in moments where we have to decide whether or not we are going to sink or swim , and this year Grishley has done some serious doggie-paddle.

I am so lucky, so fortunate and so proud to get up everyday and do what I am doing and I can honestly say it was a tough road to get here but the grass is so stinking green over here I don’t mind. I am so blessed and so thankful to have such amazing parents, a brother who picks on me endlessly, and taught me to not take BS from anyone. I am so lucky to have the most amazing best friend in the world who is always compassionate and understanding. I happen to have found the most adorable and patient man to date, and if it weren’t for him I’d be walking around with food in my teeth always.

I am so excited to celebrate, not only another year to get my ID checked at the grocery store, but also to celebrate the people who have made this year so incredible.

To all of those who have helped me, provided for me, modeled for me, or just been there, thank you so very much.

Love you all,

Oh… is it Week One already?

Is that MY alarm clock?

School has started again my lovelies, and while school has it’s headaches it also has it’s rewards. Today happens to be my BIRTHDAY! ahhhh I am turning the big 22! I will be sure to have a birthday post for you this week, however with my first day back with class form 9-6 I assumed this photo would be most appropriate!

Inspiration…

INSPIRATION.

A new year can bring on a lot of new changes, resolutions, broken resolutions, and new motivations. I can feel the not so subtle tug of creativity pulling me in the direction of the new Grishley collection and I am getting secretly but not so secretly excited about it.

This year so many new things are in store, and I have promised myself not to miss a moment… however in the meantime here are the promises I have made to myself, and the photos that have inspired me the past few days of this brand new year.

Be…

  1. Kind-er
  2. The first to keep my (un)necessary 2Cents to myself
  3. in the moment

Take no…

  1. Obligations I can’t offer 100% at
  2.  Seconds on Kettle Chips
  3. Prisoners
