When I think of summer, I think of relaxing, reading some books, soaking up the sun, maybe mowing the lawn, and spending time with friends and family. Well, I don’t know why I never learn because my summers are never like that. I don’t know if I’ve shared this before, but during the summers I work at the Subway in my tiny hometown. I work about 25 hours a week which in theory gives me a lot of time left over. For some reason that just isn’t how it works, though. Blogging takes up a lot of my time but I still feel as if I am not devoting enough time to it. I also try to work out three to five times a week (which I wrote about here) which takes a good chunk of my day out. When I’m not doing that, I’m usually reading my favorite blogs and commenting which also takes up a great deal of time. I relax a little in between, but I always feel as if that is wasting time so I try to stay more productive cleaning (and re-cleaning) my room.
But, even though I have little time to do anything else, I

Last week, I shared my newly-discovered obsession with white bedding. I knew I needed some sort of change because my current comforter was not giving me that “ahhhhh” feeling inside when you really love something and it works well. I still love it, but I think the color scheme in the room matches it too much in a literal way that doesn’t appeal to me. I scoured the internet for affordable white comforters that would hold up well, could be recovered with a duvet cover, and were made of a down alternative. I wanted a down alternative comforter not only because they tend to be more affordable, but also because they are washable and fine for anyone with allergies. I only have allergies at the end of the summer, but I wanted to make sure no visitors would be allergic to my bedspread.
I found some good comforters that would suit my needs, but were not very pretty. I decided I wanted a comforter with pin tucks instead of the sewn in blocks, both of which are used to keep the filling evenly spaced. After searching for a very long time, I found this beauty:

2010 has now arrived and although I do not have too many new resolutions for the next year, I have big dreams for the next decade. One of my favorite bloggers, Bryn Alexandra, wrote about her goals for the next decade, so I wanted to follow suit. She has five years on me, but our goals are pretty similar. If you read my post about creating a book of possibilities, then many of these will look familiar, but now I have a time frame to fit many of them into! I am really hoping to keep blogging well into my marriage (which will not be happening for at least a couple years – I’m not even engaged yet), so that is something I hope I am still doing in ten years. I love reading blogs about families, home renovations, cooking, and basically everything I already love to do but inside a marriage with kids running around while all the other stuff is going on.

I have been dreaming of my first house my
