approaching the 'real world'

i'm actually starting to get excited for next year...
i can't believe i'm saying that, but it's true.

it's all pretty exciting, really. especially when i focus on the fun parts. like a new place to live and a new space to decorate.

i love this wallpaper for the perfect accent wall:


{please note the tiny sheep on the windowsill}



more importantly, i love the idea of
[financial] independence,
of new faces and new friends,
new coffee shops to read in,
new parks to run through,
a new church,
a fresh start.

yes, all this change is good. but for now, i am enjoying my current situation immensely.
