"Home is not a place, it's a state of mind."

Well, for the last 4 months of my life, I have been trying to implement this phrase into my life.  I have always lived in such BEAUTIFUL places, that i often took them for granted.  The mountains of North Carolina, to the beaches of South Carolina, and all the way to the mountains of Colorado.  When my fiance,who is in the air force,  found out he got stationed in KNOB NOSTER, MISSOURI... well, let's just say there are no mountains, nor beaches. So I have really been trying to make this place feel like home.  Which can be difficult for a new couple in a new place.  The apartment we are currently in is certainly temporary, so it makes it hard for me want to make it "home-y", which is difficult for the interior designer inside me to accept! So, I have decided to be patient, and in the mean time look for the underlying message to be learned from our situation.  "Home is not a place, it's a state of mind".  You make your own little paradise, wherever you go.  You just have to stay true to what you are passionate about, things that make you happy in your every day life, and DO THEM. Find NEW passions. I have a whole LIST of new things that I want to do, that I can try no matter where I live. Also, LOVE the people who are around you and mean the most to you.  They are what makes your life special, not the zip code you put on an envelope.
That being said... I've decided to dedicate my blog to things i love.  
  • Traveling.
  • Crafts & DIY.
  • Snowboarding.
  • Photos.
  • Music.
  • Cooking.
  • Health&Wellness.
I am in the process of making a list of things I want to do... more on that later.  What are some things you want to try? What are you waiting for?

Hope you enjoy....

Peace&love.
