DREAMING OF BEACHES///countdown to road trip

We leave tonight for California...by tomorrow afternoon we'll be hugging the curves of highway 101 on our way to Big Sur and then LA. I can't focus on anything at work today. My head is just full of selfish fantasies involving sun drenched beaches. 

These photos are from the amazing Spanish photographer Yosigo via the pretty rad BMX site Def Grip. This site is not the norm when it comes to BMX blogs. The posts focus on art, design, fashion, travel and of course BMX. Ok Ketch, I can get into this little bike thing.

Boyfriend, Brad Tibbet is the new help over at Goods BMX. Yaya.
They gave him a lil holler on their blog about his bike he's been fixin up.

Moving in with ketch. I'm feeling a little nesty since I haven't had a true home of my own in a while and am an interior design major. I've been living with my married sister and her hubby for over a year now which has been rad...however they have their own style and their own things. No room for my stuff. So I keep to my room and that's ok. But now there is a new home, with a big kitchen, a bedroom with adjoining bath and a space for my arts and crafts. Even though I am moving into a house ketch already lives in I'm not moving in with all of his roommates. All of the old roomies are moving on to new things, and the space if only for a minute, will be almost like OURS. So OUR new thing is moving in together.

I smile a lot.

Though BMX boys will soon be sharing the halls with us, I think I will have to be the one to add a touch of beauty to the house. Ketch is handy and one roommate is even a contractor. RAD! I will bring the decorations. This Etsy site has me inspired in a few ways...
