 1.This week on Totes Awesome Channel, we chat about our favorite blogging moments. Youtube Link 2. Alan and I have officially been together for 5 years since Monday. He is now the longest relationship I’ve ever been in! Loving the color combination of the roses he bought me. 3. Bob has learned to hold still when I have the camera in his face. I call this one, “Bob the Basket Case”. 4. On Tuesday, I met Anita up for a delicious happy hour on a patio before we went to a The Minimalists SXSW meetup. Colin Wright of Exile Lifestyle was also there and I immediately found myself crushing on him! Anyway, I have been reflecting on the philosophy of minimalism and I really love it. I like the idea of really owning our belongings and not have our belongings own us. This weekend I plan on going through my belongings, starting with my massive DVD collection, and scrutinizing the value each item brings my life. I already feel liberated just thinking about it! 5.Still reading Wild by Cheryl Strayed.  I am loving it so much. 6. I’ve been pretty addicted to Instagram lately as my favorite mode of creativity. It has always been my dream to learn photography with a fancy camera. I’ve decided to take that more seriously in 2014 and maybe purchase a used DLSR. For now, I experiment with composition via Instagram. When I took the above picture from the work parking lot, I wondered if deer ever charged at people. Next time I will inch even closer! 7.This week’s moments of bliss: ♥ flowers from Alan ♥ sushi dinner for our anniversary ♥ Shipley’s Donuts ♥ Spring Break traffic ♥ adding Brussels to our Paris/Amsterdam trip ♥ mingling with my favorite food bloggers ♥ chats with my dad while I sit in traffic ♥ meeting Alan’s new friends ♥ breakfast tacos ♥ coffee doing cognitive damage control ♥ pork belly
