52 lists in 52 weeks// week 3
First off, I wanted to share with yall a link to listography (online version of Kerry Smith's books)....which is amazing!!! Here's my own.
Let me know if you make one too!!!
So now for this week's list....... (in honor of Father's Day):
"Things I learned from my dad"
If you don't have a father figure in your life, then make a list of what you learned from another parent figure in your life. I think it's important to remember what our parents/guardians have taught us and since my dad passed away 10 years ago, making a list like this also helps me to keep his memory alive, especially on a sad day like Father's Day.
Here's my list:
I asked Steven what his list was and I liked it so much I wanted to share it too:
-work ethic
-humor
-what I need to do to one day be a good dad
-how to play cards
So what's your list???

never judge a book by it's movie
I just finished reading this book:
And I am currently watching this:
(the Swedish movie with subtitles)
One June goal down (To finish reading The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest). I have to admit...it was awesome! I loved it just as much (if not more) than the other 2 in the series.
Now, I'm sitting in my living room watching the Swedish movie version of the book. And yea, I'm totally one of those annoying people that points out every difference from the book and the movie.....which is why I'm watching this one on my own. haha There are a lot of differences in the two, but surprisingly the movie was well done (even with it's changes) and I am really enjoying it.
Has anyone else read the book or watched the Swedish movies?? (By the way, I am totally excited for the English release this December!!!)
Back to my movie. :)

1 year anniversary
It's still hard to imagine that we've been together for a year now...
He is by far one of the best things that's ever happened to me and is my best friend. (Next to you Leigh of course!!) :) hehe
So in "honor" of our one year here's a little video. And tomorrow tonight we'll be going back to the "scene of the crime", where we first met. :)

inspiration thursday (dream home exterior)
Lately I've been bored out of my mind, and unable to sleep. So, I've taken up trying to look up different styles for my "dream home". I want to redo my condo, but I'm not entirely sure how or what to do that matches what both the boy and I want. So for now.... I guess I'm just daydreaming of different things.
So, I figured why not share some of my eye candy with yall?
Enjoy :)
xoxo
kel
PS....if you have any home inspiration ideas or links, post em!!!!

52 lists in 52 weeks// week 2
Hi! I'm Brittni from With Love From Michigan. I'm so thrilled Kellie asked me share a list for her blog project. In 2007 I studied abroad at Oxford University in Oxford, England. It was an amazing life changing experience. If you get the chance to study abroad- GO! You won't regret it.
[ONE] The Brits are so polite compared to the typical American. As I was wandering lost with my suitcase, two people offered to help me. In America we'd probably rush by the confused tourist. I even had someone offer to carry my suitcase in the Underground.
[TWO] Chavs. Need I say more? Google it if you are uncertain. Hillarious.
[THREE]We encountered a lot of eat-in taxes in the UK. Places like Starbucks will charge you a little extra to enjoy your beverage in the store. We were poor college kids so we just sat on the curb outside, instead.
[FOUR] Kebab Vans = delicious. These vans that sold Kebab sandwiches (your typical lamb euro type sandwich) pizza, and fries late at night. I could smell the food from my room. I caved. A lot.
[FIVE] They have maids. That's right. MAIDS. I bet all of the universities don't have this luxury, but I had my bed made, clothes folded and room cleaned every day. It was heavenly.
[SIX] Better Homes & Gardens has nothing on the English gardens. They really know their stuff.
[SEVEN] Likewise, they take their grass very seriously. At Brasenose you could only use the grass during certain hours of the day. Some areas, such as the one pictured above, were NEVER allowed to be used.
[EIGHT] They have delightful things that we don't have such as Prawn Cocktail chips and Mr. Juicy (pictured below). I can tell you that Mr. Juicy was certainly not "pure" orange juice! ;)
[NINE] Instead of saying "watch your step" they say "mind the gap" on the subway.
[TEN] British accents are the best. Hands down.
------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks Kellie for having me post on your blog! :) xx, B
****************
Thanks Brittni for the guest post!! I love, love, LOVE your list!!
So here's this week's list challenge.... What have YOU learned from a place you once visited? (Either another county or another state....or maybe even your own culture...)

The great thing about traveling (in my opinion) is seeing how others live, how their culture varies from ours, what foods are popular in their countries, what their daily outfits looks like, and how their sayings differ from ours. We can learn a lot from other cultures (or from even taking a closer look at our own).
