Go Huskies!?
On Saturday T.J. was given a pair of tickets to the UW vs. Cal football game by one of his coworkers and we headed out for a fun fall date. We were also given tickets to a boat cruise which took us from Ballard to the Husky stadium, which I was much more excited about than the actual game.We'…
finding community + a giveaway
I hit the girlfriend lottery. First of all, my parents gave me a built in best friend forever in my sister, my other half. Then, in the sweet years of dorms and apartments and roommates, I was blessed with even more friendship and sisterhood than one girl can hope to have in a lifetime.These wome…
Weekend Report: When The Husband's Away
I have been home alone (if you don't count Hunley) since last Wednesday. T.J. was away for an ortho conference in Dallas and I picked him up last night at 11PM. I got a couple hours with him before we fell asleep and then he was off to work again this morning.Everyone told me second year is th…
Five on Friday: fall feelings
one. After basically an entire summer of zero rain, it's like BAM it's back! And Fall is here! We've been experiencing much cooler temps, gray skies and rainy days since this past weekend and I don't hate it. I love having the windows open and feeling that crisp breeze blowing thr…
pillow talk
Why are pillows so expensive y'all? And why don't the covers also come with inserts???Etsy is my favorite place to "window shop" for pillows. There are so many "stores" to browse through with all different size pillows, usually organized by color! And I've found the…
It changed us
I remember clear as day where I was, and how it felt, when my mom called to tell me Anna had cancer.And it still makes me fall to my knees when I remember the sight of my dad on the floor of the airport on the phone with his brother, when he got the call telling us to prepare for what was coming.

weekend wanderings
On the weekends when T.J. doesn't have call (the rare, beautiful, golden weekends, when all is right in the world) we mostly veg out, catch up on sleep (him, not me, I get plenty of sleep during the week), and venture out once or twice for donuts or to walk the dog. But occasionally we also tr…
the fireplace
So it's another home decor post. Hope you don't mind, but I said I had this idea for our fireplace that I wanted to run by y'all. You might have noticed in my last post the big corner fireplace in our living room. I don't love that it's in the corner, or that it's really qu…
living room inspiration
I've been pretty slow with getting our house decorated. Up until two weeks ago we still had an "office" full of boxes of books that I hadn't unpacked yet that taunted me every time I'd walk past the door. My sister's visit helped motivate me to check some things off the …
vacation dreaming
T.J. and I started casually talking about when and where we would take leave this year since he only gets a limited amount of time off. (fyi. When I say "year" around here I mean residency year, so in this case our second year.) Our plan is to use half of that time to go home to South C…
