Magical Moments Monday

Although it’s been a tough week – lots of studying and not a whole lot of fun, it’s always important to remember the happy!

Studying & Cubing

Happy Monday, everyone!


Due to my looming certification exam, I won’t be posting on the blog as much as I regularly do. It’s not exactly a hiatus – I’ll still be around, just not as often. I need to focus all I can on studying until I sit for it at the end of January, and am currently accepting all the well wishes and crossed fingers I can get. 😉

With that said, this weekend I became the proud owner of a Nissan Cube! I’ve been eying them since I heard they were making their way to America (remember this post?), so it’s completely surreal to be driving one right now. Three cheers for fuel economy!

What I Wore: European Vacation {Day 3}

Our third day in Barcelona was a good one. We took it easy. We visited the Picasso Museum, strolled through the port and had a very romantic dinner complete with wine and paella. I think this city is just made for romance and adventure – forget Paris (but that’s a whole other post). Although our stay got a little wetter than usual, the weather was still fantastic. It was beginning to cool down a bit, but not enough to need a coat and the hazy sky made it look even more foreign and mysterious. Have I mentioned that I loved Barcelona?

What I Wore: European Vacation {Day 2}

On our second day in Barcelona, we decided to take a bus tour to catch all the big sights. One of our first stops was Gaudi’s on-going masterpiece, La Sagrada Familia. Although I had seen pictures and heard stories, seeing this majestic structure for myself is something I will not forget anytime soon. Especially when I could admire it from a bench in a park across the street while holding hands with the hubs. It was just a special moment. I knew it had to be the backdrop for my outfit post! And it was. 🙂
