playing pretend

So lately I've been really wanting my own place

[in all reality i might be kind of scared to live alone]

But I want my own small little apartment 

or guest house

So I can decorate it super cute and absurdly girly

 {every girl at one point in their life should have a spot thats just super girl-a-fied}    

I want my bed room to like somewhat like these

 I have a thing for tufted head boards and mirrored dressers

 I'm also loving the super relaxed feel the grey give a bed room

 it also has to have a bench at the end of the bed and far too many pillows on it

of course it will have an amazing closet 

that might look something like these

 I'll replace the doors so it looks oh so vintage

 if it's big enough I would totally but my "office space" inside

 it will be totally over organized

 a dresser in the middle so I can hang everything

 a true princess closet

 but in reality even if it's just a role rack

I would still be happy  

Being super small 

my kitchen, living room, and dining room will most likely

all be in the same place

Together they might have a feeling similar to these

I will ride my beach cruiser to the farmers market to get my food

and I will drink my juice from wine glasses and crystals

{that i will get at the D.I. and have amazing stories}

Lavender and Royal purple will be my accent color

Grey will be my trending color through out

my little humble abode 

if you haven't noticed

if its velvet or tufted

I automatically have this undying love for it

a gorgeous giant leaner mirror is a must

fancy chairs around my little kitchen table

so all my guests can feel like royalty

{when I have all kinds of dinner parties and girls nights}

how eco friendly is this?!

[if it was purple and tufted it'd be perfect]

I adore the shape if this couch as well as the amazing bold strips

     
One day
{when i have my unknown dream job}
I will need an office space
that will look something like these
{i might even have a mac computer to top it all off}

 Some of the detailing in the little home
might feel like this

a bathtub would be the cherry on top of perfection

talk about cozy

This is my dream little place at the moment
to be honest
the idea of living alone and having my own place
{especially if i could do something like this with it}
is more appealing that I can say

The problem is
I don't know where I could find a space I could do this in Cedar
or even if I could
If I would be able to afford it

My max out rate is $300 a month
{though in reality i really can't afford more then $250}
so if you're in Cedar and know a place
[or have a guest house/remodeled garage]
and want me to take it over
I all in

One day maybe I'll have a place like this

Love Always,

Lexi

shhhh we're hunting wabbits

This past weekend I wanted to go on an adventure

my prince charming of course was very happy to escort me in this

Being in Utah

{and on a quest to become a wilderness girl}

He took me rabbit hunting

*all my friends back home freak out*

cool your jets   

It's actually really fun

While my prince charming is a master with the weapons

they still kind of really intimidate me

I usually just shoot at the targets that he points out

but when we were in the truck and saw a bird

I jumped

and I GOT IT!! 

After spending the next forever 20 minutes trying to find my kill

[we both got really excited and totally lost where it was. that and all dead plants look the same]  

Finally my prince found it

so I could proudly take a picture with it

 

cheesen so hard

 

so proud i took 2 actually like 10 but i'm only posting these

I shot it from the truck window

{about 65 yards and the gun is a 17 for any of you who want to know} 

 We also found a really cool hiding spot in the mountains that someone is reconstructing 

[this place is hiden with wonders!]      

 

in the cave thing we found ... he is SO handsome

  

looking down inside

Though prince's kills out weighed mine by a lot 

I've never been prouder of just my one little tally mark

Next up on wilderness girl adventures

-shooting a bird

-peeing outside

-truck mudding 

 {girls tell me the secret ... cuz i just can't seem to do it} 

 

super cool crows nest in the old barn

  

me and my favorite pup Ally under the nest

 

Love Always,

Lexi

This week has just been one of "those" weeks

I've been dealt a very large and 

very complicated hand

{I don't know about you}

but personally 

   when I'm dealt such hands as these I tend to think

Not just your general thinking though

I think ... and rethink ... and then over think ... and then think again

{some times i even put different situations together and then out comes to each and new situations for those out comes. i know it makes my brain hurt too ... and all too often}

I get SO far ahead of myself that I forget what I am even doing

I'll give myself a panic attacks trying to plan out 

2 years from now

[oh yea i take it that far]

It keeps me up till very late hours of the night 

and honestly puts strain on my heart

sometimes really affecting my attitude and out look on each day 

I guess being in college I'm at that age where this kind of thing is common

well at least I think ...?

Not really even that I'm in college. More so just the time period of life I'm in

    I try my very hardest to live each day in the present

Being thankful for everything that I've been blessed with

and the life that I lived yesterday and years past

I try to take each task as it's given to me

and try not to worry about my up coming tasks and road decisions 

{even though i can visibly see several forks up ahead}      

I know that God is going to provide for me 

and that He is generally and constantly looking out for me

but sometimes it's almost impossible to NOT think

"Well, what if?!" 

So here I am

running my mind in circles again

thinking and trying but also praying

I know my foot steps are strong

[and well thought out that's for sure haha jk]  

 

I am confident in who I am

I may not know where I'm going yet 

but I know that I have a purpose and a path

Love Always,

Lexi
