Christmas Gifts 2018

I hope this blog will be here forever because this is how I organize my memories. I have a DEEP love for both journaling and photos but not a way to combine them physically and this causes me much anxiety. I wish photo printing weren't so expensive.

Christmas 2019

bed frame from Erik's parents...and down pillows yum

Erik asked me what I wanted for christmas and I sent him a link to this purse. I love it. A Frye Campus Rivet Crossbody. Been looking at it for months.

Hard drive for photos!!!! Self explanatory. Photos haven't been backed up for a minute. Now I can sleep at night.

Music box from Richard

Birgitta randomly gave me this necklace after the fact. Her ex husband bought it from a museum in the 60's. A necklace comprised from beads from King Tuts tomb

Necklace from Erik that looks like it's from a beach souvenir shop

From Richard. Pretty bottle, feel fancy

Jonathan calls me "Bed Sores because I'm always on my bed :) So he gave me bedsheets. They're polyester so I won't be using them.

From Camille

Shelby Bridal Shower

tonight-a-light

I’ve already written this post (wah) so I’m gonna keep it simple. This stupid ass app is probably going to crash again and I can’t locate the save button.

Happy 4th! One of my favorite holidays, summertime fun.

Here’s some scenes from the day.

Outfit. 

“Hey Holly, look at my necklace.”

Cool, Will lol

Organized my DMC floss finally!

Body dysmorphic struggles ;,( I stretch everything out so as not to feel it rubbing on my skin.

Three different firework shows were visible from our favorite hill in the graveyard!

blue mason coffee

I met Erik on tinder and I have zero shame about that lol
We agreed to meet at a place called The Blue Mason for, as he referred to it, a "fika" which is a swedish term meaning coffee and possibly some pastries.
I walked in and he was sitting straight ahead. I remember him looking quite pleased to see me (he thought I was pretty). Knowing him now and how subdued he is, I'm amazed at just how overjoyed he actually looked haha makes me happy!
He ordered me a large coffee and I didn't bother telling him I didn't like coffee, so I had to sit there and pretend to drink it the entire time.
The conversation was extraordinary, I remember talking about the homeless people in Utah lol.

The Blue Mason is definitely my favorite coffee shop ever!

the red chair facing forward is where Erik was sitting when I first laid eyes on him 

Erik got me this sticker the other day "for scrapbooking"

sunsphere

We spent a lovely saturday afternoon downtown with Lori and Brandon. Calhouns on the river for salads and wings, the sunsphere (my first time) for some views, and the Peter Kern Library (also a first).

I am mary poppins

Before and after of scenes in the living space. The difference may not seem too stark because CLUTTER
