Photo Inspiration

Whenever I start looking at blogs, I end up with about 15 tabs open. I see something interesting on one blog, click on the link where that person found it, & discover a new blog. I do that over & over until I realize how many tabs I have open & get scared that the browser might crash (it does this frequently) & I'll lose all the new blogs I just stumbled upon. My favorite is Style Me Pretty. It always has the most gorgeous pictures of weddings, & ideas on how to personalize your wedding. Here are some pictures I've found that have inspired me this week. Most are from Style Me Pretty but there are a few from different sites (see the link below each picture).

New Blog Name!

I've finally decided on a new name for my blog:  

Heart Shaped Everything

I wanted it to be named after something I love. I know I love a lot of things (fireworks, flowers, the color pink, sunsets...) but none of those things had the imagery I wanted. I wanted something whimsical, something fun & something generic so I could write about whatever I wanted.

I decided on Heart Shaped Everything because I love everything shaped like hearts & if I could, all my stuff would be heart shaped- chairs, pillows, soap, food... Whenever I go shopping, my eyes gravitate towards anything shaped like hearts. I love shopping during February because of all the heart shaped pillows, candy, cookie cutters, etc.

Things shaped like hearts make me happy. They make me feel like a kid, when life was simpler & carefree & my dad made me heart shaped pancakes. I think heart shaped things represent love, hope & optimism.

I hope that each time I sign on to create a new post, the name of my blog will make me think of cute, heart shaped things & remind me of all the beauty in the world.

My Favorite Season

I'm back on my journey to find a "big girl job" aka a "career." My current job is almost over (in December because my boss doesn't need someone year-round) & I've starting looking for my next one. My boss has been great- she said she would write me recommendation letters & let me go on interviews during work hours.

This time, I have a better idea what I want- benefits!!! Insurance!! These past few months, I've had doctor & dentist visits without any health insurance & it has been very stressful on me & my dad (who, thankfully, still helps me pay for things even though I'm out on my own). However, since I'm being more picky, it's definitely harder to find job opportunities. I found one that seems practically perfect & I've interviewed for it (Yay!). I guess time will tell... but I'm anxious to find out what will happen next. I hate waiting because when I wait, I worry.

It's been 4 months since I last posted & it was in the middle of the hot Texas summer. Now, it's fall & it feels exactly how fall should feel. It's cooler but still warm. 75 degrees- the perfect temperature. I can't wait for the leaves to turn red, orange & yellow. This beautiful weather makes me wish I could be outside all day instead of in an office at a computer. I would even be ok with just a window.

I never thought that I had a favorite season. I love something from all of them. Spring- amazing weather, flowers blooming, you can finally wear shorts, t-shirts & dresses again, it's not too hot to be outside, watermelon, BBQs... Summer- swimming, no school, snow cones, late nights, sparklers, grilling outdoors... Winter- Christmas, Christmas lights, decorations, hot chocolate, blankets, sweaters, boots, snow, sledding, cuddling, fire places... Fall- beautiful weather during the day, cool weather at night, watching the leaves change, pumpkins, halloween, costumes, candy, the start of sweaters, blankets, hot chocolate :).

Now that I'm out of school, summer no longer means months of freedom, spring no longer means Spring Break, winter no longer means Christmas break and fall no longer means the start of school. So fall is now my adult, post-college self's favorite season.

One last thing, Stumble Upon is one of my favorite time killers/websites to find cool things. & I "stumbled upon" my dream house the other day ;)



Seriously though, a tree house like that, right in your backyard, would be such a cool place to relax & escape!
