tenga il vostro mento su

Good day my lovelies, 

Isn't he just grand? He is my wonderful love. I have been sick for the past two days to the point in which getting out of bed was not an option. He however, has been by my side doing anything and everything for my well being. Since i've been sick, I can have my first opportunity to write to you, since it has been a busy few days. 

What tele show are you absolutely addicted to? 

I also crochet while i'm sick, like my grandma!

Did you ever collect these as a kid? I even had the cards :)

Could you sleep on a floating bed?

Have you watched this before?

I recommend Copelands new cd if you are looking for some new tunes. It's perfect.

I hope your day is going fantastic. Rest and be hopeful in the Lord, for he has promised great things. If you need help today, ask him first. 

Until next time, 

Vee

amo l'arte

Here's another one my loves, 

So this weekend I went home to Los Angeles to see my family and wound up at an art gallery on Melrose. There are some fascinating things that this artist has done. The artist is Aaron and he takes old license plates from different states and fashions them into his own remarkable designs. What a thrill they were to look at. I recieved permission to take pictures just for this blog! So after the jump, enjoy! 

Here are a few things you can explore, otherwise observe the pictures as they deserve-with great care. Goda di :)

Non-Profit Art Gallery in New York. How delightful. Browse through pictures of the openings.

I just Love Art.

Here is a whole book about comics that you can laugh about online. 

There's my little sneak to what it is like. I hope you found it as delightful as I did!

Until next time, 

Vee

come siete.

Hello my dears, 

I know that it has been a few days. I went home for the weekend and spent time with some wonderful people and ate even better food. The menus from above are from the first breakfast I had home. A side note: I do try to put up pictures that I take and not always borrow them from other websites or places, but I will let you know when I do borrow. :) This one, however is mine as are the rest below. How was your weekend? Restful? Tiresome? Too Short? Here's another break for the day. Enjoy. 

The wonderful breakfast I ate was from the 101 in Hollywood. 

I got a position for the school newspaper as a Arts and Entertainment Blogger. It's about food :)

Have you ever had a chai latte shake before?  I simply adore the taste of chai. 

Are you doing the Speaking or Debate Tournaments this semester? Here are some tips :)

I love how silly this is!

Oh, he is just so darn funny when you watch him. 

I recently adopted a polar bear for my boyfriend.

Support in beautiful children Santa Barbara. 

She bugs me but these look delicious!

An honest welcoming into Santa Barbara :)

I love hearing about how your week has been so don't have reserves about writing me. Enjoy today, remember that your purpose here is big because God placed you here. I love your presence. 

Until next time, 

Vee

buona notte

Isn't he so cute? He fell asleep on my bed with this giraffe after a walk. I just awoke from the best rejuvenating nap I have taken in quite some time. 

I thought there would be flying cars in 2000 when I was younger.

Some of these pillows would be so cute to have in an apartment. 

Snuggle up in this cute blanket. 

I'd like to see my grandma rock in this grand chair. 

Learn to make a great espresso drink to sip by the fire.

Having trouble sleeping and craving late night meals?

Afraid of the dark?

Our space, whether it be our bedroom or home, are so much fun to decorate. Everyone has such a different style. Two friends from home are driving up tonight to sleep in my newly re-arranged room. How exciting, right? It will be a little crowded, but worth it. I hope your night was what you hope for. 

Until next time, 

Vee

buon giorno

What weather sets you in your best mood? Today is rather gloomy in Santa Barbara. The weekend is almost here, so here is a break from studying. You are so close to finishing the week my lovelies.

Are you more of a city person? 

My boyfriend gave me a new backpack for christmas.

How did you feel about celebrating the inauguration of our new president? 

Our dorm is going to play broomball tomorrow.

There are so many cute umbrellas to choose from. Which one suites you?

Carry your books in a new way.

Donate to a great cause while owning a new pair of these. 

Need printed tees for cheap? Maybe for your club or organization or band? 

I hope you have a wonderful day. Let God be good to you, not because you deserve it, but because he wants to give it to you. 

Until next time, 

Vee

away.

i am far away from home. 

it is so funny how we get so comfortable with ideas or places or even people in our lives and compare new people, places, things, to them. i have been in san fran for almost a week now. a good 6 hours or so away from home. growing up i have a good idea of how to be flexible. that includes my personality, my ability to adapt to new situations and mostly my tolerance for everything, good or bad. 

this trip we, as in greg and i, have seen the good and the not so good. i don't know if you have ever had someone that could really truly been there supporting you and holding you up with all they have when you feel like you just need to give up. well, i have that. i have gregory. i'm not saying that everyone needs to have a gregory, but i do. 

i think forgiveness has been pushing its overwhelming face in my business a lot this winter break. forgiveness is such a large thing and is so heavy and not so easily welcomed into our lives sometimes. but i really feel like i somehow have been in its presence more often lately. i got upset over something, this was the kind of upset where if someone else was to look at the situation they would mock me for being such a pain in the rear end, but through my eyes, i was mad and i couldn't let it go. 

i have been with greg for almost a year, 11 months today, and i don't know if it has been the time, or the events, or the fact that it was written that has made us so unbreakable, but God sure has pulled us through some things that continue to hurt at times. 

regardless of what it was that made us to be what we were, as soon as i felt myself get upset, i couldn't let go of the image of just needing to hug him and let him know that it was going to be alright within a matter of time. i just needed to forgive him. i was still hurting, i was still crying, i was still shaking, but none of that mattered. i couldn't wait to hug him, smile at him, feel the joy that i always felt apart from any other sort of joy imaginable. i couldn't wait to be so purely in love with him. 

i don't really know the extent of forgiveness because i feel like the fact that i still need to do it all the time, the fact that i need to ask for it, just shows how it is going to be a learning experience no matter how many times it happens. i just know that i love the feeling of having hope for joy in the midst of feeling so crummy. i don't know what else could possibly bring this on besides the need for forgiveness. 

i guess what i am trying to say is that regardless of any other feeling in the world, i can escape the pain, sorrow, hurt, or anything else that affects me in such an ugly way, by simply looking for ways to be forgiven, or forgive. it has been a very heavy weight on my heart lately and i think it is something you need to know. 

until next time,
