Bremerton | The Urban Pig

Connor and I have been doing a lot of exploring the last few days, and a big part of this is trying to figure out the next steps of our life since finishing school in Pullman. “What should we do?” and “where should we live?” are questions which have been reoccurring  in our lives recently, and the only way to really find an answer is to try things out and see what happens. Whatever is meant to happen, will happen, and although having patience can be difficult, it is usually this process of learning and discovering which is the best experience in retrospect.

Until these questions are answered, we will do our best to enjoy the process, and so today I bring you a few more pictures from our mini-vacay. Just some snapshots of the little town of Bremerton and surrounding areas! Remember, you can always see more over on Instagram!

Since Last Sunday

Since Last Sunday | The Urban Pig

The last few days Connor and I have been on vacation in Seattle, which of course has been the highlight of the week. We have been out exploring, some places which are familiar, and some places which we have never been. My grandparents live in Seattle, so it has also been nice to catch up and spend time with them. But, since I have been taking pictures like crazy and sharing them on Instagram, I figured I would just let the snapshots do the talking this weekend. Enjoy!

DIY Hanging Driftwood

20130610-205242.jpg

Today is Connor’s last day of work which means just a few weeks left before we are moving out of Pullman and starting our next adventure. At this point, we still aren’t sure if we will be going back to Spokane where our families live or following our curiosity to a new place. Since I have always been a planner, I never thought I would hear myself say that I don’t know what I will be doing or where we will be living in two weeks, but it has been kind of nice to take a break from the planning and stress that can come from big decisions like those.

In the mean time, Connor and I are taking a little break from Pullman and heading to Seattle and Bremerton for the weekend. I am super excited to have some exploration time and entertainment, and Connor is too considering how long he has been working without a vacation.

Anyway, the last time I went to Seattle, my parents and I took a walk through Discovery Park down to the beach, where I collected some driftwood. So today, I am bringing you a quick and simple DIY project for the weekend which offers a little coastal lovin. Enjoy!

Cleaning Out The Closet

Cleaning Out The Closet | The Urban Pig

[via pinterest]

There is a long overdue project that I have been working on — organizing my closet and specifically, getting rid of things. I am not joking when I say I have a few items left from my early days in high school, as well as pieces just as old that I have worn MAYBE a handful of times. Now that I will soon be starting my professional career, I decided that it was definitely time for a closet makeover. Even without having a life checkpoint like this, it was still time. The only thing that was truly holding me back from cleaning things out is that I have a really hard time getting rid of things, especially if they are in good condition or useful. I always think to myself, “maybe one day I will wear it” or, “maybe one day it will be more my style,” etc. etc. the list goes on. I have every excuse in the book, which is why I am sharing with you a few tips that helped me through the process, just in case you are in the same boat as me!

Since Last Sunday

Since Last Sunday | The Urban Pig

This week Connor and I stated doing some genealogy research for his family, and what started out as a frustrating search and coming out empty-handed, less than two day laters, we have over 1000 family members in our tree, some which go back to the 900′s! It has been a goal of ours to build a genealogy book after I learned of some of my history and how my ancestors traveled here from Germany. Hearing the stories of their ventures, I felt such a strong connection to people I had never met. I was so grateful for their sacrifices and what legacies they left for their future grandchildren. I felt like I knew them, and I became so proud of who they are. After this experience, I knew that I wanted to continue researching my relatives and my background, and Connor wanted to do the same for his family.
