Oh How Pinteresting

Am having some ups and downs this week but I only see this as part of the journey. The journey to a happier place. The place that we all want to get to. However, there have also been moments of fleeting joy and oh so much laughter and happiness. Moments of watching football with b/f and the boys and enjoying it so much. Those are the moments I realize that I have it. The happiness that many search for. The contentment. I have it in my heart and I am grateful. Linking up with Michelle at the Vintage Apple. Enjoy and join us if you can!

The shoes are really pretty and I want them. The color scheme in that house is beautiful and am really craving chicken right now. Am really into baking but I have never made it happen. Its one of those dreams that I want to come true real soon. Thats the deal with the baking pins this week.

If we went for Coffee Today

Tuesday:

Loved it, a little tired but doing well,
Hope you had a good day too,
Been long since we've talked.
Coffee tastes great and am happy that you are here.
I have missed doing something with you.
Its good to know that you took time to come,
Am grateful for you!

If we were to have coffee today, I would have such little to say.
Am just having a quiet time here.
In real life, its not that quiet. Driving lessons, time with in-laws, lots of walking around, stall at work.
Lots has been going on but over here am taking it easy.
Here, I choose to take it easy. I choose to enjoy time here and listen to the silence in the blogworld.
But tomorrow, it is a new day. Mid-week, Infact.Maybe some noise but not guaranteed.
Love you and it was fun having coffee with you!
Lets wait for Wednesday!

Awesome in Pastel

Its Friday again and am so grateful for a fun week filled with blessings. Now, am really funked to introduce this week's Friday Fancies week because the colors kill me. They are so beautiful and soft and cool. I love these outfits and hope you enjoy them. Linking up with {av} as usual at long distance loving.

Letters to My Future Husband #5

Dear {FH}:
Hello Darling? I know its been quite a while since I wrote to you. Its Ok anyway because am doing so now. Today, I have been thinking about our wedding day. I have been thinking about the kind of gown that I want to wear on this day. I have been thinking about whether it will be an indoor or outdoor wedding. I thought that maybe we can have a church wedding in the morning and an outdoor reception in the afternoon. (This way I can get to wear heels in the morning and wedges in the afternoon). Oh, Darling, I digress. I digress.

As I was thinking, the most important thing that came to my mind is the look in your eyes as I walk down the aisle. Sweetie, if I have said there is anything more beautiful, then I was lying. Your eyes glow in a way that I have never seen before. It is not passion, it is not happiness, it is not fun or enthusiasm. It is a mix of all these things. It is a look that I cant quite describe. But, the word that comes closest to this is Bliss. Pure Bliss.

Honey, I think about loads of things. I wonder where you are but thoughts such as these remind me that you are real and that its just a matter of time. To be exact, its a matter of perfect timing. I just turned 25 last weekend, (you missed my birthday by the way) and I was a little worried because I do not even know who you are. I though that if I have never met you, then it may take a lot of time before we get to know each other and then get hitched.

However, another thought struck me. We do not need time my darling. When we meet, we'll know it. Its not like something that will need scientific experiments or discoveries. Its a communication between the hearts and I already think that our souls are connected. Thus, it is not a matter of time. It is a matter of the hearts. It is a matter of allowing and enjoying and laughing and having fun together. Our wedding day remains etched in my mind and I hold onto the look on your face as I go through the days.
I love you so much darling and I miss you love. Come to me soon.

Always,
{FW, Millie}

Swooning over Pinterest Finds

The week is already half-way, no complains from this side, just noticing how fast the days are moving. This week i've been feeling kind of lethargic and sleepy all the time. I cannot seem to figure out what the hell is happening to my body. Or am I just lazy?I don't think so.

Anyway, just like any other girl, am constantly thinking about new clothes, shoes and accessories that would spice up my life. I think buying a new piece of clothing would ease the lethargic feeling am having right now. I know, I know, thats just an excuse to go shopping. But since, I cannot do that right now, I choose to swoon over cute pieces on Pinterest and hope they magically drop into my closet.

Who wouldn't want to wear this cute skirt. Its too gorgeous.

I love my jeans. I probably live in jeans,so this board gives me an idea of how to change my jeans looks.

Oh, my God. Ok, OMG. I totally love this combination. Its so ME.

I love this dress. So simple, yet so beautiful!

I love scarfs and this is the ultimate guide to wearing them.

Weekend and Birthday Recap

Hey people, (I wish you could hear me say this), it would be loud and cheery. I had the most fun weekend ever. And my fears about having a birthday unnoticed were totally pointless. My previous post explains what I wanted for my birthday on Sunday and I can say am satisfied. It is amazing how the Universe can surprise you when you let go of the control and fear.

On Saturday, we had a party with my friends and it was total fun. This crew that I was partying with is the best. We have been friends since I was in campus. This is the place where I also met my boyfriend so I think Campus was totally great. The party was at one of my friends house and it rocked. The drinking and dancing was awesome. Lets just say, I loved it.

Sunday, we went to visit my boyfriend's parents and we had so much fun. One thing that I must say is that am so thankful for his family. They treat me so kindly and they genuinely care for me. I completely and totally love them and I know they do too.Spent time with my nephew, Leon. He is 9 months old and so adorable. Will get pictures soon. Nothing moves my heart like babies. So innocent and their laughter, so infectious.

In short, I had so much fun and I feel so blessed. Am thankful for the grace and the opportunity to turn 25. I can only think of the great year that is beginning now. Happy birthday to me and thank you to Mr b/f for making my special day really special.

Friday Fanies: Flower Power

So Happy its Friday and its a very long weekend. And more happily, my birthday weekend. As usual, am linking up with av at long distance loving for Friday Fancies. I love the flowers. I chose two outfits, one very expensive and classy, the other simple, cheap and very comfy. Love them both. Enjoy the weekend.

Happy Easter.

Its My Birthday Weekend

I know I have not even been a wee bit excited that its my birthday week. The main reason is because I have nothing planned for my birthday on Sunday. I want it all, a party, gifts, celebrations but I don't even know how to make that happen. To make matters worse, I have never really had a birthday party, just for me. Am not whining. Am just anxious. Anxious that my birthday will just pass by and no one will notice. Am anxious because am turning 25 and its kind of a big deal to me. 

I totally, want something fancy but most of all, I just want someone to make it a special day. I know that it is a special day but I want to know that am not the only one who knows that.

Anyway, I believe and I have the deepest and unwavering faith that this will be one of my best weekends. I don't know how this will happen and I don't care but I know it will.

Now to my birthday cravings:

1. Cake: Am totally craving some cake right now and having it on my bday would be awesome.

2. Party, Yes. I want lots of dancing and drinking all in my name.

3. Gifts. Little ones or big ones, Doesn't matter as long as they are beautiful.

4. Hugs and Kisses. Simple yet they always make my day.
