do no wrong

So happy I finally bought Future Islands new album, On the Water.

And loving the track that Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak) sings on, The Great Fire.


If you haven't listened to Wye Oak yet you should also do that.

it's official

Jim and I are moving...to Edmonds.

Although I have a slight distaste towards moving back to the north end, I must admit that I am truly excited.

We can't wait to have our own home, and I can't wait to decorate. Jim only owns a garbage bag full of clothes, but I'm getting rid of all furniture I currently own and we're starting from scratch. I've been looking at a million websites and sending Jim emails of all the things I want while he's away on tour. Once he comes home late next month we'll begin buying. It will surely be a work in progress. The place is currently in the process of getting a few fresh coats of paint and new hardwood floors throughout. I'll be posting photos as soon as I can.

Parking will be a breeze. Charles will have a backyard and our location is great for taking walks. And I won't have to commute to work anymore. OH MY GOD! The thought of not sitting in traffic makes me giddy. Grocery stores are close and I can walk to the gym or a mini mart. On top of all these great pros, it's also a chance for me to save some money so that I can buy a home in the next two years.

I've loved living in the city and I will miss it, but there is a huge part of me that can't wait for the suburbs and to live with the person I love...and Charles.

sad and good

New York was great. I could have used a few more days to see the sights. The weather was great for the most part. Hanging out with Jenna was awesome. We ate lots of good food and walked most of the neighborhoods we wanted to. We dedicated more than two days to shopping. I came home with an amazing pair of Rachel Comey ankle boots (post soon to come). We got to see Anika perform. She was amazing, and will probably never come to Seattle. I absolutely hated WhiteCastle. Yuck. The streets of NY are dirty and smelly. Vacation with Kimmy and Jackie was great. But of course I'm happy to be home.
