And three years later . . .
It's finally here. David's first day as a graduate student in Architecture was yesterday! I drove him to school in the morning and waved goodbye. I felt sad and excited at the same time.
I'm really grateful and excited that he's able to go back to school, but I also know that this is going to be a huge time commitment, and I'm going to miss him.
He will be in school from 9am to 7pm Monday through Friday. I think he may have more breaks during the day once Fall semester starts, but once the projects start rolling in - he could be there till midnight or later! And this is pretty much the routine for three years! We have spent every second together for the last month, so this is going to be an adjustment.
I think once I have a job; it will be a lot easier for us to establish a routine and set aside time to be together. What would be AMAZING is if I could get one of the twenty jobs I've applied for at GA Tech. Then we could see each other for a few minutes every day!
So, separation anxiety aside, I can't express how excited I am about the things he's going to be learning. I can't wait for him to come home and tell me what he's done each day!
Our good friend Joseph came to see us last weekend, and brought with him a wonderful documentary about a famous architect's life and work. Much of the film is sad, but the moments about architecture are beautiful. Watching the film, I became even more excited about what David has the potential to do and be in this field.
So, it's going to be a long three years, but I know if we do it right, it will be totally worth it!
p.s. The film is titled My Architect. Everyone should see this documentary.

500 Days of Summer
I absolutely love Zooey Deschanel and I think Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the best mix of handsome/quirky! I cannot wait for this movie to come out!
Just a few more months till September . . .

Anyone Else But You
David and I had a Juno moment this past weekend. And by "moment" I do not mean that he knocked me up, but rather that we sang the song at the end of the movie, "Anyone Else But You" by the Moldy Peaches, at our church's talent show, aka AUB Fest '09.
Our good friend Joseph announced the show a month or so back, and David and I decided we should do something. Well, actually I decided we should do something and David decided that as long as I was going to sign us up for this, he would take the opportunity to learn the guitar.
We knew right away that we wanted to do the Juno song, because it's fun and you don't have to have a great singing voice for it to sound good.
This was a big deal for me. I have never sung in front of more than a couple of friends. This was in front of about thirty people or more!
David played the guitar and we both sang. It was lots of fun! I think if he gets really good at the guitar, we just may form our own little band.
p.s. there will be pictures to follow

Where the Wild Things Are
I don't know about anyone else,
but I am SUPER excited about this movie! The preview is amazing. I love the use of "Wake Up" by Arcade Fire, great song.

{Love}ly Day
I have never really been interested in making a big production out of Valentine's Day. David and I tried the expensive dinner route one year, and it was nice, but I much prefer the year that he made me a lopsided heart cake. This year, I think we are just going to have a nice dinner at home and maybe spend time with some friends.
That said, i REALLY I love holidays, and I particularly love Valentine's Day because of the beautiful shades of pink, purple, and red that seem to be everywhere. I also really love any excuse to eat chocolate, of course. So in honor of the upcoming holiday, here are my favorite Valentine's Day-inspired finds:

Baby, it's cold outside
When it's this cold outside, all I want is:
1. to NOT be at work
2. a comfy couch to curl up on, like this one from Ligne Roset
3. a fun movie, like Drop Dead Gorgeous
or Garden State
4. a yummy bowl of soup
5. and of course my love, to get cozy with-that's the best part!

Just a Few Loves
Just a few things I've come across.
This headband from Anthropologie.
I don't wear a lot of headbands, but this one is so delicate.
Urban Outfitter's cute purses. I think they're
faux-leather, but I'm not certain.
JCrew's Winter gear. I love the sheer mohair scarves.
The hat is for men, but the stripes are adorable.
The artwork of this artist
I really love the second one!
The music of Vampire Weekend
That is all for now.

They are on the soundtrack to Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist

My Current Loves for the Fall
One of my favorite things EVER is shopping! However, David and I are trying to save for a future move to Portland, so I am trying to curb my shopping appetite. This is going to be very difficult, because we are moving into my favorite season. I love Fall fashion! Plus, starting this month and continuing until February our family has a long string of birthdays, so gifts and shopping are all I can think about! We have already broken our clothing fast and bought a few Fall pieces! Hopefully that will be enough, and come mid-October; i won't go on a crazy spending spree! Here is my long top ten list of things I love right now.
Things I LOVE:
1. PLAID! - so adorable and still really feminine!
Top Left - Anthropologie
Top Right - Urban Outfitters

2. MOCCASINS! - I ordered this pair! I'm waiting for them to come in the mail so I'll have something to walk around in when we go to NYC at the beginning of October! I'm really excited-about the shoes and the trip!
Minnetonka Moccasins
3. THE COMPLETE LIBRARY OF DAVID SEDARIS! - Disregard my book post. I know I said I was not going to buy another book until I read everything in our library, but I'm making an exception for David Sedaris. I've read Me Talk Pretty One Day. This book caused me to cry because I was laughing so hard - I love it when a book can do that. These are just a couple from his library. I am also dying for his Audio CDs! His sister, Amy Sedaris, does some of the readings on the CDS. Sedaris is great for travel and rainy day reading!
4. ARTISAN EARRINGS! I love these, so pretty and delicate!

5. FALL DRESSES - RUFFLES, PRINTS & SWEATER DRESSES!
I love being a girl!
Top - Banana Republic
Center - Nanette Lepore
Bottom - J Crew
6. CHUNKY HEELS! More adventurous for me, but so cute for Fall!
Top Left - DV by Dolce Vita
Top Right - Seychelles
Left - Marc by Marc Jacobs (I love that color blue!)
7. COOKING! (or at least the idea of it) - David and I are trying to make sure that we are getting all of the nourishment we need from a fish and vegetarian diet, which can be difficult. These books look fun and helpful - and everyone needs a cute, frilly apron to inspire them to cook!

8. FALL JACKETS! I am so excited about the cool weather that will hopefully be here by October (maybe?) I love cool nights and cute coats!

9. BELTS! - I love belts. I wear one almost every day. I don't really like the kind that actually go through the belt loops - I'm more a fan of the around-the-waist, over a blouse or jacket kind! However, I am always willing to try anything - I think the high-waisted jeans I ordered would look good with a belt through the loops. I am in need of some new belts because according to some people (Bonnie) I wear my green Anthropologie one way too much!

10. FALL FRAGRANCES - ORIENTAL FLORALS! I love all of the different elements that go into these scents! These are my three favorites and their notes:
-Tocca Brigitte -Rhubarb, Papaya, Ginger, Rose, Iris, Saffron, Sandalwood, Musk.
-Kenzo Flower - Wild Hawthorne, Bulgarian Rose, Parma Violet, Cassia, Hedione, Cyclosal, Opoponax, White Musk, Vanilla.
-Nanette Lepore Shanghai Butterfly - Lemon Slice, Mandarin, Snow Apple, Carnation, Lily of the Valley, Gardenia, Poet's Jasmine, Whisper Rose, Oriental Leaves, Green Cedar, Siberian Musk, Sandalwood.
