Change is good, but keep loving what you love

My boyfriend made a good point over dinner tonight.  He said my loft is like an "unfinished project with no end goal".  I can't say it's not true.  I'm always moving stuff around to the point that it's different every time friends and family come over.  Now that I think about it I've never lived in one place for more than 3 years -- I not only accept change, I get antsy without it.

These are pics of my loft last year chosen to compete in Apartment Therapy's Small Cool 2012 Contest -- one of the coolest things that's ever happened to me!  While I have always loved interior design, I suppressed my interest in it believing that there was no point after having pursued careers in the military and mental health (not to mention my Filipino dad's disapproval).  Being a part of something like this gave me permission to keep loving what I love.  Naturally, I've made several.. ok a lot.. of changes since these pics were taken :)  Maybe I'll give the contest  another go this year.

Before I had the chance to over think and get offended by my boyfriend's comment (whatchu tryna say, fool?! Just kidding, love you!  LOL), he added that my loft is "always evolving and improving" (Nice save, Ryan).  Hopefully that will never change.

K Bye!

Love in the Fall

Fall... My favorite season!  Aside from it being scarf/hat/layering weather, I get to come home to wonderful surprises like these:

I have to admit my bf would do something like this "just because" (aside from his crazy sweet tooth, hence the big box rather than the adorable single servings that Nothing Bundt Cakes has available).  In this case, there is a "because".  He knows that settling into my new job in mental health, as rewarding as it is and blessed as I am to have it, has had it's rough moments to say the least.  This is his way of reminding me to enjoy what I love, and one of those things has been sharing life (and delicious bundt cakes) with him since three years ago in the Fall:

 

I found love in the Fall,

And it did not hurt at all 

I found sunshine and flowers

Soft Summer showers

I can feel my heart touch my Adam's Apple

Didn't even know I needed it 

I found love

 

I love that our song is from one of my son's favorite shows, Yo Gabba Gabba  :)  

Meet Ryan aka Rydell aka Sugarfoot

Happy Fall.

K Bye!
