I found myself another turtleneck but in a tissue tee just in time for spring to show it’s face. Loving the idea that longer, warmer days are in arms reach. Perfect time for some Spring cleaning. I’ve tackled mine, have you?

We’re full force ahead at the Wright house. Our 1901 home goes on the market by morning and we can hardly handle it. As excited as I am to move on to our next project, I am just as sad that this place we’ve called home, where we brought our hairy babies into our family, and put our blood, sweat and tears into is just going to be a cherished memory soon. 2014 has been great to us so far so I can only hope that this house hunt will be a successful one. Until then, we’ll be shacked up in a tiny month to month apartment, so everyone join me in crossing your fingers, please!

Wright this down | Coastal for NYE

:: Cannon Beach, OR ::

Cannon Beach granted us every glory the Oregon Coast provides. Hikes to travel on for miles with views, beautiful sunsets that lit the sky, sea life for days, and that iconic massive rock called Haystack that reminds me how lucky I am every time I see it. I think we started a tradition.

Our holiday vacation in photographs. And it felt even better then it looks. This year needed to be different and the escape was just what we needed. I’m not one to make new years resolutions but do fancy the idea that we all get to hit a refresh button at the drop of the ball, and that’s exactly what I did. And even though I do not plan to make any resolutions, I do think I’m starting to be better about being in the here and now. I’m learning to thrive in the day to day, letting things come as they will and it feels really good.

The time is grey

Do you ever wish time could stop in one moment, long enough to just BE, absorbing every detail, sound and feeling surrounded by that moment? As I spend the last week of 2013’s existence staring out onto one of earths most magical places, I find myself holding my breathe wishing for more time.

Never closing our blinds to the sea we watch the crab boats inch closer and closer to shore in the dark of the night. The sun is rising now and the tide is hugging the beach, erasing yesterdays footprints, forming a fresh start. The ocean is singing and the sky is grey making it difficult to see where the ocean and sky meet. Jeff is still sleeping. I can’t wait to get out in the ocean air, it’s going to be a beautiful blue sky day.

Every year my family comes down to Cannon Beach the day after Christmas to spend time together. We stay at the most adorable beach funky Inn on Cannon Beach’s shore just steps from Haystack Rock where my family has been visiting since my dad and aunt were children. I have fond memories as a child here and adore my families sense of humor, we are always laughing. I can remember my dad getting me excited that he found a great big seashell, when I reached down to pick it up it crumbled in my hand, it was bird poo! The beach isn’t called the beach, we call it the bitch. So imagine taking your dogs out and saying, “lets go kick sand on the bitch” or “lets go pee and poop on the bitch”. This year we’re missing my dad, brother and his wife and kids but next year we’ll do it all over again. Until then, I’m absorbing every moment one day at a time.
