Return Home.

It's been 2 weeks since I've been back from my trip to Ireland. I haven't really had a lot of time to sit and think about my trip because ever since I stepped foot in Indianapolis, I felt like I never had the chance to sit and think. Today's the day. I finally have a day to myself and think about my trip.
I want to go back. I do. I want to go back tomorrow. I'm not sure if I want to go back because my sister's still over there or if it's because I really enjoyed the trip. Or maybe it's both. I had a fantastic time. And I miss my sister. When we were leaving for the airport, it didn't hit me until my sister got off the bus that she wasn't coming back with us to the States. And if you know me, you know I am an emotional person so the tears started flowing.

So I guess I learned these things:

1. Everyone must go abroad at least once in their life. It's true, the US has so much for us to see but I think going overseas at least once is a must.

2. A bond with a sibling is irreplaceable.

I think that says it all.

Dreams Do Come True

Ferris Bueller was so right - Life moves pretty fast. You don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. My life has been busy, so I've done a horrible job at blogging. BUT NOW I HAVE SOMETHING FABULOUS TO WRITE ABOUT- The proposal at Disney World! *Warning* This post could make others nauseous with the overwhelming amount of cuteness and romanticness (is that even a word? Is now.) Read at your own risk. But really, you should read. Because it's cute. And I said so. It all started back in January when Brandon drove to my parents house to tell them the news and ask for their permission. Immediately my parents asked how they could help. Minutes later, my mom brings out my Grandma Irene's engagement ring and tells him she'd be honored if he could somehow use it. After weeks of Brandon e-mailing my mom, he had the proposal all figured out. Just look at that cheesy smile! My mom put the ring in her purse the night before we left for Disney. My da

I DID IT! Last PL 2013 Post

Image
Whew. I did it. I can check one of my 2014 goals off the list. I finished my 2013 Project Life album. Like always, I started out strong. Then towards the end I lost momentum. I just wanted to be done. Maybe I'll go back and add more to the pages, change them up a bit. But for now it's finished. And I'm happy. week of November 10-16- I'm sure you noticed my lovely eye picture- sorry about that. But this week was more about pictures, and less about journaling. I used cards from WRMK for this page. The "notes" journaling paper at the top is from the $1 bins at Target- what a find! week of November 17- 23 - More eye pictures...sorry (or am I?!). This week we celebrated Thanksgiving with Brandon's family since we were going to be in Hawaii the next week. Like usual, I forgot to take pictures at Thanksgiving. One day I'll take a pictures...one day. How cute are those little turkey and fox stickers?! Thank you Michaels $1 sticker books :) w

Project Life Core Kit- Help, I'm Addicted.

First step is admitting you have a problem. At least I can admit that. When I started this whole journey, I wasn't very well equipped. (Well that sounds dirty..whoops. We all know where my mind is!) As I've said before, I hardly did any scrapbooking in college and relied on my mom's supplies. (I originally had 'goodies' there and when I reread it I thought to myself ew. That doesn't sound too good there.. yes my mind went there, again.) So when I decided to start my PL book I was starting pretty much from scratch. A friend had told me all about Becky Higgins and the Project Life brand and I was immediately intrigued. I would spend time online looking at the products and other bloggers use of the Core Kits . I was liking what I was seeing. But I wasn't a huge fan of the price. I just wasn't too sure if I could fully commit to $30 for scrapbook cards. Especially because a lot of other brands were catching on the the crazy: - mambi Pocket Pages : These
