ghosts

So turns out I'm not in school yet because of something weird with the application, but NO WORRIES! I am practicing my interior design skills all up in our home to the dismay of of my dear husband... (jk, but furniture is expensive, much to his, my, and everyone's dismay.)

As I have been searching the webs for uniquely modern yet classic pieces to eventually work with, I keep coming back to the ghost chair as the epitome of fitting that bill. I'm convinced that these little babies are the coolest thing since James Dean. They add an air of class, sex appeal, and modernity to any setting. And they're comfortable, too! (My brother is lucky enough to own a few.) See for yourself:

These chairs will never go out of style and I will never fall out of love.

While I wait patiently for my husband and I to grow to be rich (the cheapest you can find these is around 300 a pair..for the replicas at that.. why does beauty have to be so expensive?!) and I get to purchase a pair of my very own ghost chairs, I have found something else to satiate my ghostly appetite...

THE KARTELL BOURGIE LAMP!Isn't it just beautiful?! Of course I could only afford a replica as these lovelies sell for hundreds to thousands of dollars, but it's all the same to me and I feel so lucky even to have found one in my price range*. I'll be waiting with bated breath for this to arrive at my doorstep.

*And even that's a generous estimate of my "price range." ;)

aj

anyone who reads my blog knows that i'm obsessed with afton (hey girl.) and i've always thought to myself that i wanted to end up with a boy like her (funny, nice, spiritual, quirky and someone who really gets me and vice versa.) welllllll, i knew i'd found all those qualities in james (hey boy) but today it has been confirmed that he is afton quality because.........

HE CLEANED MY ROOM FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

afton used to do that when we lived together in the blue house, and for some reason i find it to be one of the biggest acts of service anyone could do for me.

dang. i'm so lucky to have an amazing husband to be and a best girly girlfriend.

the thing to do

-the most recent trend i've started: getting engaged. congrats, saratoga stake!

-this book made me cry within the first 5 minutes of reading it. if anyone out there is struggling with how to feel about prop 8 related/general gay issues in the church, READ THIS. for example, she reminds that "sin" stems from "missing the mark." ....if we were doing archery with someone, and they missed the target, we wouldn't turn away in disgust and judgement. we would say "try again!!!".... thanks, james, for bringing this book into my consciousness.

-i am getting married on SEPTEMBER 4TH, 2010. will you please save the date? don't go out of town for labor day. how boring.

that's all i got, folks.
