living in The Beach



the view out my bedroom window!



My Valentine Day flowers are still kicking it!!


oh how I love the smell of water. When I first moved to Cali I could smell the ocean and its distinct difference from the smell of fresh water. Ocean scent is salty and a bit fishy, fresh water is, well, just that, fresh and crisp. But now, it all just smells good....

Here, try this...





We just moved to Newport Beach!!
We like to take walks in the morning, and pretty much all of Corporate America is based in Irvine (where we used to live), so it didn't provide the best views (the mountains were nice with snow on them, but I'm a water girl).
Now we are 3 blocks from the pacific! We live on Route 1; Pacific Coast Highway, PCH, or just Coast Highway.
Address our letters to any of those and it will get here, oh and the neighborhood is actually Corona Del Mar, so address it to either CDM or NB and it will get here! We have like 9 different addresses!
Our new place is by far the nicest place we have ever lived in, we feel like actual grown ups, although Nate says turning 25 makes you feel old no matter what, I still feel like I am playing house.


Kitchen and entry / dining room - rooms to the right are the tv/family room and my studio (thats right, I said it!!!)

And the best part...
Drum roll.....

Our outdoor play area!! BBQ and Fireplace! Truly blessed we are!!!!
