Angel Fire, Albuquerque, and AWESOMENESS
I've been failing in blog land. There's just been several things taking up my time lately and having epic times with friends has been one of them. We headed to Angel Fire, NM to enjoy some mountain time and then went to Albuquerque to visit with some of Em's friends. It was such a blast climbing a mountain, (falling down a mountain), taking pics, laughing hysterically, and meeting new peeps.

My Home...or I have too much time on my hands
It's been awhile. Shame, shame on me. To make up for my lack of posts, here's a long one.
I've been super obsessed with home design blogs. I have no decorating creativity whatsoever, but I'm GREAT at replicating. So, after spending an embarrassing amount of time looking at blogs and HGTV type blogs/sites, I've accumulated pics that would make up my ideal home. Please, come in....
When you walk into my humble abode, you'll most likely cross a foyer such as this.
Love those double doors and the splash of yellow and purple on the table.
Then I'd lead you into my living room.
Sit down, relax, take a load off, and let's chat.
Help me in the kitchen? Well, sure...let's go.
Option 1: I absolutely dig these colors. White, baby blue, green, and yellow=awesome.
Option 2: Add the colors from above to this kitchen and BAM that's my perfect kitchen. Lovin' the space, the windowed cupboards, and chair style...and the stinkin TV above the stove!!! Holler!!
Option 3: Kay, very small piece of the kitchen, but you just can't say no to a yellow chair and windows that over look trees.
Well, now that dinner is ready, let's head into the dining area.
I think wherever you eat, it needs to be bright and cheery, because eating is a joy and makes you happy....at least it does for me. Minus the monstrous seahorses and hard liquor cart, this is exactly where I want to satisfy my tummy.
I just thought this was a very cute color combo...again, the yellow chairs.
This was just such a cute, eclectic nook I thought I would throw it in.
What? You have to pee? Let me show you to the guest powder room...
A bright bathroom is just as awesome as a bright dining room.
Of course you can see what our master bathroom looks like! It is one of the most important rooms in the house!
Bathroom 1: Love the space and windows. My perfect house can have average rooms everywhere EXCEPT the master bath. The master bath needs to be the size of a small kingdom.
Bathroom 2: I've always wanted a bath tub with feet. How cute is this?? Loving the high ceilings. Now combine this somehow with Bathroom 1 and, VOILA, perfection.
Well, since you've already toured our bathrooms, might as well take you through the rest of the home.
This is my study. This is where I....don't draw, work on my novel, or finish my doctoral dissertation,.....but where I stalk blogs, do an occasional puzzle, and have my quiet time with Jesus. Don't you love my blue oil lamp??? (Is that even what an oil lamp is?)
Where would you sleep if you were to stay over? Come this way.
Guest Room 1: Great for your kiddo's. Hope they like earth tones!
Guest Room 2: Here's where you guys would stay. Cozy, right?
Guest room 3: If you don't like the first room, feel free to move to another room!
The master bedroom is right this way.
I love a variety of colors. Ever since Home Alone, I've always thought having a fireplace in your bedroom was so cool. And that plasma above it...radness!!
Well, we've gone through the whole house. Why thank you; I like it a lot too. Let's head out to our patio and share in some more convo's and possibly some drinks.
Option 1: I mean, just look at that view and openness!! I could spend many a night out there.
Option 2: Oh, Cabana Boy!!! My Pina Colada, please!
Option 3: Awesome festivities are foreseen to go down here. Fun and funky.
Well, there ya have it. Hope you feel like you know me that much more now. Our friendship/bond has grown to a deeper level. You're welcome. =)
All pics were from House Beautiful. I encourage you to mosey on over there and create your ideal home when you're bored, don't want to do work, or have nothing better to do with your time!!
