Beginning the Adventure

I am spending the next indefinite amount of time traveling with my husband. Like I said, I am a lucky girl. But there is a twist. He is a mechanical engineer…this meaning that some of our destinations are quite intriguing! Not always the lap of luxury…which I have often come to expect. Desolate and often extreme…I am learning to adapt to very new surroundings. A fashionista and former city gal…Floridian and sunny advocate…social seeker and totally obsessed with my family….I am venturing to unknown territory. Life without our family, a gaggle of friends always at arm’s length, shopping and entertainment (as we know it)…these are all things that are no longer at our beck and call. As we will be spending the majority of our time on the west coast, everything is new. And so, I decided to make it an adventure. Why can I not bring all of the pieces that make me, me along with us. The fashion and the sun…a little bit of city directly to the middle of nowhere.
My hopes. Most importantly, I want to be a happy newlywed. We have a bit of an unconventional situation…so it is my duty to create as much “normalcy” as possible on the road. The thought of having to be away from my husband, at the point in our lives when we are finally, lawfully an us…is just silly, unfathomable. We can be the quintessential Mr. and Mrs.- wherever we may go. I want to explore new places, ideas, and people. I hope that I can continue to grow and learn in the world of fashion and design that I love. I am most definitely stepping out of my comfort zone…and see such a beautiful world. It’s going to be an adventure..but I like that. It is a good thing.

Always Falling

I just got married. It was by far the most magical, fantastic, dreamlike event of my life. Not only did I marry the man I love…I married my high school sweetheart, best friend and undoubtedly my soul mate. I feel beyond lucky.

The funny part about the whole marriage thing is the changes….as well as sometimes the lack there of. I feel the same. I love him just as much, if not more. We interact the way we always did…talk about the same stuff..laugh to the same jokes..but somehow it’s all a little different. There is an essence of change. I think it’s a dash more of respect, a whole lot more of adoration, a nice bit of relief and a continuing dose of interest. Interest in us and the way we are. I find myself so interested in the funny nuances that make us, us. Things that I never paid any attention to before, but now I am completely intrigued by. To be honest, its really quite wonderful. It’s sort of a new lease on an old feeling.

Do you continue to fall more in love…with your love? I hope so:)

Just Poe

I have decided to blog. Like many others out there…it becomes a bit of an obsession. Reading about others lives, interests, tips and thoughts..( umm hello Facebook and Twitter alike! These days it seems like the common intrigue in daily life is at an all time high!!) So, in the spirit of my obsession. Here we go.
I am Poe…This is my fabulous god given name!!...I am 25 and newly married…I am an only child ( but not the rude, spoiled kind, I think!)…I love my family and have the most wonderful friends…I am a true southerner @ heart..but now live in the west…I am obsessed with all things fashion, especially vintage…shoes are a true privilege, and a love of my life….I have the tendency to over accessorize and am OVERLY attracted to all things that glitter… I love wearing sunglasses, the bigger the better…I usually take too long getting ready, a trait my friends have tried to break me of for years…Wine is my drink of choice, and I always have a hangover…I met my husband in high school, and still get chills when he walks in a room…Laughing is my favorite…I have a weird sense of humor…I am happy and blessed in many ways…but I have a lot left to do…it’s all an adventure, I am just Poe
