Day 164 – Home Name

Today as I was driving past all the mansions, I noticed again how they all were named. I thought to myself “I would love to have a name for my house”.  Well tonight was actually date night. Vinny wanted to take me out and it was an amazing evening for sure. Our night began at the Red Parrot (our fave!!) followed by a quick stop by Alex and Ani because as we were walking by Vinny offered to get me another addition to my collection. Tonight he picked me out a St. Anthony charm bracelet (his dad was named after St. Anthony). Then we went on a nice long walk, sat in the park for a bit, sat by the pier by the big yachts on some Adirondack chairs and ended up going to another bar for a drink, listening to live music and then to Ben & Jerry’s for some ice cream. We walked down the long pier across the street from our house to sit on the chairs at the dock and eat our ice cream. I just love the city/beach life- it’s such an awesome mix and so very, very convenient!

This was all around a perfect evening. But I digress... As we sat over dinner, I told Vinny that for my intention I wanted to name our home. We talked about so many things that would help create the name…the beach, the bridges, the views, the birds, the sights, the sounds, the downtown atmosphere, the love, the friendships, the vibe…. But we eventually decided on a name:

Lavender Peak.

When we first moved here I bought a small lavender plant at the local farmers market. It has grown and been repotted, and continued to thrive and grow into a small tree sized lavender plant. Being that it survived the insane winter of 2015 and is still thriving we felt like it has earned a place in our home name. It’s like our home mascot. Then to think of the fact that we live up so high- we have a bird’s eye view of everything we figured the word “peak” completed it perfectly.

I am actually so happy with the name we came up with that I think I will go get a plaque or something and attach it to a wreath to proudly display this name on our door. #Cheers #lovedatenight #HGAL #awesomeintentionawesomenight
