hello, are you still there? I'm back!

{our lovely photographer samantha kelly. check her out!}

well, hello.

it has been quite awhile, wouldn't you say?

so, so, so much has happened while i've been away.

big things and little things.

since my last post, here are the "top 10" since then.

1. i'm retired! i decided after much thought that it was time

to move on from the wonderful world of ballet.

it was the best chapter of my life. i will always be a ballerina at heart.

2. we made a quick move and lived in utah for a few months 

this summer while lovebird enjoyed a wonderful internship.

3. i chopped my hair. 

it's new, a change and something i have always wanted to do.

{not having to put my hair in a bun every day anymore, gave me the green light!}

4. baby stice will be joining us january 2014.

we couldn't be more excited.

5. this summer i did a bit of "local" traveling;

portland, island park, hawaii and west yellowstone.

it was a fun summer.

6. this summer, we lived with my parents.

it was a complete joy- family is one of my most important gems in life. 

7. we are back in california preparing for baby and lovebird's graduation.

california feels like home to me. we are oh-so-happy here.

8. mowgli turned one this month!

{happy birthday to our favorite pup}

we are kind of in shock that we have already had him for a whole year.

time needs to s l o w down.

9. our favorite things from summer:

fly fishing, frozen yogurt, camping in kauia, pickles,

hanging with old/best friends, salt lake restaurants, finding out about baby stice,

home cooked meals and the beauty of utah.

10. lovebird and i celebrated our 3rd year anniversary this summer.

time flies when you are in love-

and boy, am i in love. 

it's so good to be back.

i'll be here to stay for awhile.

happy holiday weekend.

xoxo

i am back.

oooooooooooooooookkkkkk.

i am back, i swear.

it looks like i was the one to take a long winter's nap.

nutcracker + the holidays + traveling, completely wiped me out.

but, i am back to the blogging world.

i've missed it dearly.

writing/composing, reading your posts, discovering new recipes,

awing over fashion trends, and all the other
great things the blogging world as to offer-

has greatly been missed.

it's funny how connected (lovebird would say addicted) i am to it.  

it's a part of my life now- 

i love that blogging has become the journal to my life.

anyway, all this to say... i am back,

and couldn't be happier about it.

xoxo

busy being busy.

dear blog:

you can thank my finals for never seeing me.

{and the worst part is, i still have two more.}

you can also thank lovebird-

he has been quite demanding of my time,

now that he knows i have a little extra time to spare.

{obviously, i don't object to this in the slightest.}

i've been as busy as a bee over here.

with dance coming to an end

plus the school semester wrapping up,

things on the busy scale in life have really been amplified.

i'm alive, though.

and for that, i'm thankful.

i'm thankful for performing, testing, stress, lack of time and hardly any sleep- 

they all make life exciting in an unexpected way. 

that being said, i will definitely be

just a little more thankful when it's all over.....

because lovebird and i have a lovely getaway planned.

one that i can't wait to tell you about. 

i promise to be better at posting and writing about our

crazy adventures in life right now.

and to my readers and blogs i love to follow:

i promise i will be back at %100 in the next few days.

i've missed you and your cute blogs dearly.

p.s. if you would be interested in guest posting while lovebird and i

spend time far, far away.... 

please email me at

thelittlelovebirds.blog@gmail.com

{dates of guest posting will be in june and july}

drum roll.....

ta-da!!!

so, what do you think of the new do?

a little blog makeover was much needed.

i am hoping you like it as much as i do.

i can't take any credit- my lovely friend helped me do it all.

i owe her big time. 

i hope you all have a lovely weekend.

mine will be spent performing, traveling home and
saying goodbye to a loved one.

but, those are all good things.

happy friday, friends.

xoxo

don't mind me

my blog is currently under construction.

please forgive me while i take some time to give it a little makeover. 

it may take me a little while to get a new look, due to my busy schedule.

so please be patient and keep reading.

it will be done shortly! 

thanks kindly. xoxo
