Bohemian Dress Theme

I have an outdoor event in May, and I am looking for a romantic, long, flowy dress for the occasion (more on that later). I really love designing outfits and this one is really fun! The theme is forest bohemian so some words for direction are...
Forest
Bohemian
Feather
Rock
Glow
Earthy
Flowy

Here are some of the dresses I am considering. If you have any suggestions feel free to comment!

An Education in You


Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
Scott Adams

What grad school has taught me these last two years is to know myself. I view school differently from most people. It is not necessarily the text you read that is what goes with you when you graduate, but rather what you learn about yourself. I have learned so much! I have learned my coping techniques, my conflict style, my management style, I have learned fields I am interested and definitely not interested in. I have learned the type of situations in work, family, and life that are good for me, bad for me, and positively-challenging. Anyone who views grad school as just a means to another degree on paper is not seeing the big picture. I know I am very introverted, I love to write (thank God for this blog), I'm a lot ADD and I NEED creative outlets whatever that may be (I have to CREATE!), as well as maintain an ever-changing life landscape, I can never feel trapped, contained, or stagnant. I learned that I have a wonderful marriage full of love and laughter and the world’s most supportive husband. I can only hope that all of this knowledge about myself will mean that I will be able to contribute at my fullest potential to this world and ultimately make it a more beautiful place for everyone. 

P.S. I also learned that although I am a dog person at heart... cats are good too, enjoy our little Miller family pics.

Another new song I found, and love... I'm sensing some sort of whisteling trend lately in music...

A Seattle Saturday

I definitely consider myself lucky to live so close to Seattle that Paul and I can easily spend the day there. We had our first "official" Saturday together after two years of working opposite schedules. It was AMAZING! We didn't really do that much, but we walked around downtown Seattle, Pikes Place, and had lunch at a restaurant that we had one of our first dates at, Lowell’s, you can see The Great Wheel from there. Oh and we went to this amazing antique mall where I bought a mini cottage for a terrarium project... more on that later. It was a great day full of love and laughter, and I so look forward to having our weekends back. Now I need to get back to 3 Grad School papers that are calling my name.

Greek Salad Recipe



Ok, ok so I have a ton of research to do and life in general is a little crazy right now (probably shouldn't be blogging but it is my therapy/outlet for Grad School honestly). That being said I am still trying to remember to stay sane and attempt to be healthier this year. I started a 30 day workout routine and Paul and I are going to try to be a little more conscientious of our meals so here is an awesome dinner recipe from All Recipes for an amazing Greek Salad it was so good and very filling.
