I'm Still Here!

About a month ago, life started to get crazy busy. Wade and I had thrown ourselves into house hunting - going to open houses, making appointments to look at other houses... it was getting insane because we couldn't find what we want. Finally, after a lot of discouragement, it was nice to step back and think let's get through the wedding first. So the house hunting is officially OFF for the time being, which, amazingly enough, freed up a lot of spare time to do things that I had let slip, like, for instance, this blog. I've missed writing for enjoyment! This blog is a bit of a haven for me amongst the craziness of life. So, this is just a little post to say, I'm here to stay!

P.S. Oh, and by the way, this is kind of my feeling about searching for a house.

Nesting: The Outdoors

While we're apartment hunting, there are a few things that I'm keeping a sharp eye out for. One of the things that is important to me is that the apartment has a decent outdoor area. The two apartments that have made it into my shortlist so far both have beautiful enclosed balconies that are the perfect size for fitting a dining set or a couple of squishy outdoor couches. There's nothing more relaxing than a fun dinner party with friends or family eaten outside, or stretching out in the sunshine, reading a nice book. With that in mind, I've been obsessively trawling the internet for outdoor space inspiration.

I'm getting shivers of excitement just looking at these images! I can't wait to find a place to make a home.
