Vintage Boston's
So recently I have been thinking of modifying our guest bathroom. Currently, it is a deep red tone with gray and black and white decor. While that may make you squirm, I promise it looks good! Our bathroom art is an old vintage magazine cover and it has changed multiple times in the 3 years we have been here. I love the red, but I think I need to tone it down a little. I would like to go with a vintage Boston terrier theme, in remembrance of my Bean girl and to celebrate our Magnolia! The above picture is not the wall art I am looking for by the way! Ha! I just liked it and I am not in a place where I can upload a personal photo- so I borrowed from the web! Ha! Anyway, I am picturing the art in my head, a more neutral wall color, monogrammed towels and a chic shower curtain to tie it all together. Yup, I am sure my mind is made up and that my husband will shutter at the thought of covering up the red! Ha! Poor guy, I just change my mind too often; yet again that's why he loves me ;)
This is just a random Friday thought! Ha! I am killing time, or at least trying too, so I thought a new project idea, and a new blog post! When it is completed I will post the before and after shots! Vintage Bostons? Why didn't I think of this before! Ha! Happy Friday xoxo!

A new beginning...
Sometimes in life, we have new beginnings, I think you would all agree. And this being said, this year 2012 is definitely a fresh start! A rough start, but a fresh one! Ha!
So my husband was home for 6 weeks, which is the longest we have ever spent together married. It was fabulous. Now into this new year he has gone back offshore and I am finding myself lonelier then ever. Something I would rarely admit, and usually try to hide. But in this new year I am going to be more honest with myself and this is the new start! It's okay to feel lonely because my husband left- admitted and done! New beginning two... Simplicity.... I need to have it!
How will I accomplish this? hmmm funny you asked; pack it up and toss it out ( or in my case donate it ;)). Cleaning out all the stuff, the more simple the better, the less stuff the more simple. Get it, got it, good! So 8 trash bags of clothes, 3 bags of actual junk trash, and 2 bags of kitchenware later, simplicity follows. And while there is still a bit more to go through :/ it is much better! Three cheers to the new year and my third new start, more people time!
I want to make others feel as important to me as they really are. I don't just want to tell people they are my friends or call them my family, i want to work on building those relationships with family and friends and making them more intimate. Words are never enough, actions are better. It all boils down too less me, more them!
And lastly, I want to work on Julie, being Julie in this new year. Yes, by devoting more time to my blog obviously, but too, by grounding myself into what makes me, me. Last year ended on a rough note, where I found myself questioning me, my emotions were skewed due to another's emotions, and my attitude was affected by that of someone else's. It was if I had a lack of control of me. And that's just not right, not anyway you look at it! So finding me again has been another start to my 2012. I know God has a plan for my life and I am going to count on him more this year then last and I know it's going to be a good one for sure! A new 2012 awaits, stay posted for what's in store!
