Sprightly.

I started running again.

Slow but steady.

My mom is my motivator.

She started dieting & exercising before I got home & has already lost almost 20lbs!

Go Carrie!

To be honest, I don't care to lose any weight but it feels really good to be active again.

This is my new gear.

& my messy room.

Unknown.

I love listening to his talking voice.

Almost as much as his singing voice.

Consistent.

Healthy.

Bubble bath, new shoes, daydreaming, ribs for supper, stargazing & a bonfire.

Crazed II.

Bridesmaids.

I only plan on having 2 or 3

Big wedding parties just look exhausting to me.

Midnight blue is my new favorite color.

Absolutely to die for.

Ivy & Aster

Bouquets.

I am such a sucker for Hen and Chicks & Peonies.

More to come later.

Crazed.

I'm obsessed with weddings.

I can't help it.

So I frequently plan my own.

It's sort of sad but I just like it so much.

(Fall/Winter)

(Spring/Summer)

Ivy & Aster

Stay tuned for more of Linnea's wedding ideas.

Sensational.

There is nothing I don't love about Andy Warhol.

Bittersweet.

This is it.

My very last day in California,

& this pretty much sums up the mindset I'm leaving with:

I am forever changed because of this experience.

The good kind of changed.

My departure time is 11:50 pm and soon after I will be where I came from,

& surrounded by the people I love.

There are not words to explain how excited I am.

Thanks for being so nice to me California.

Rapturous.

"She was a girl who knew how to be happy, even when she was sad. And that's important—you know?"

-Marilyn Monroe

I am really happy with me.

It's sort of a silly thing to say out loud & probably not the most eloquent way to put it.

But I figured since it is something I've wanted for a long time, it's worth saying.

So I'm going to say it & I'm going to keep it.

Truant.

Oh boy, I've really been bad about blogging lately.

What's the matter with me?!

Here's a list to catch you up on the recent happenings in my life:

-Today was my last day of classes at CSUN.

-I'm really, really, really excited to move back to Minnesota.

[ONLY ONE MORE WEEK!]

-Once I'm home, I'm getting my hair cut like this.

[Something that I'm also really, really excited about.]

-& I've got a bunch of studying to do before then.

Hmmm, sadly that's pretty much it.

Let's hope things liven up around here once summer graces me with its presence.

Thanks for sticking with me.

Hooked.

My friends introduced me to Pinterest and I'm obsessed.

I should be done with an art history paper (due Friday) by now but I haven't started thanks to this site.

It addicting but I've finally found inspiration for my next hair cut!

I need it soooo bad.

Skyrocketing.

I love this.

[I'm going away. I'm going my way.]

Lackluster.

My apologies for the dull posts lately.

I'm just ready to be home & I don't know what else to say.

Topsy-turvy.

If you cracked open my skull, this is what you would find.

Sterling.

-Got to sleep in

-Didn't have any trouble choosing an outfit to wear

-Kept up with the entire lecture during my history class

-Ate a lovely supper alone

-Got lost in some wedding blogs

-Came up with the perfect Mother's Day gift

-Talked to a guy who looks dangerously similar to Ryan Reynolds

He's really cute & nice.

-Listened to the same cheeky love song

Today was another spectacular day.

What's been putting you in a good mood lately?

Hunky-dory.

I'm in a good mood today.

Untroubled.

Today I woke up early, talked to my best friends, put a dent in my homework pile, daydreamed & listened to this song.

Burning.

I'm totally in love with this song, this video, this band.

This Century

Untame.

Now that I have short hair again, mornings have become much more entertaining. I usually wake up with some pretty crazy hair but this morning was by far the best...

[please ignore my lack of make-up]

Kinda scary, but a part of me wanted to wear it like this all day.

Happy Monday!

Upbeat.

My apologies for being a sucky blogger lately.

Here's some stuff that's been going on in my life recently:

School

Studying for midterms have taken over my life.

Ben Rector

He's all I've been listening to for the past 5 days. I'm obsessed.

Art History

I know I'm a nerd, but I don't care. I LOVE IT.

Photography

I've cooked up some ideas for some summer photo shoots that I can't wait to try out.

Spring Break

I'm going to MEXICO! Yep, with my friend Caroline.

In 6 days we will be on our way to Cancun for a whole week!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend.
