We've always dreamed of purchasing and eventually living on a small farm outside the city - someplace where Lily can run around, where we can relax in peace and quiet, and where we can enjoy the fruits (and vegetables!) of a simple life. We also wouldn't say no to having some adorable goats around. While we know that it will take years to make our move, we're saving up and would be so grateful for any help that will get us closer to this dream! This photo was taken on our drive up to North GA where we got married in April. We passed by so much beautiful farmland, just an hour from our Atlanta friends and family.

While we've gone on weekend trips here and there, we've never taken a true vacation together. Both of us love the American West and would be thrilled to take a road trip and see some of our favorite areas together for the first time. We're looking forward to lots of hiking, good food, and scenic views - and we're grateful for any help that will make this a reality.

Our apartment has a small patio area, and we'd love to make use of it by growing some of our own herbs for cooking!

A little bling for the bride.

We both grew up in households with Corelle dishes and have seen them hold up great over time! We'd love the chance to replace our current dishes that don't stand up well to heat, and to add to our kitchen some dinnerware that reminds us both of our childhoods.

"Breakfast for dinner" is one of our favorite meals, but we always struggle to fit hash browns, pancakes, and veg. sausage on the stovetop. This griddle would be "egg"-cellent for whipping up delicious breakfasts!

We use a french press for coffee every morning, filled with water from a teapot. Our current teapot (a cheap one that Heather bought in college) has seen better days!

We're trying to cook at home more and try new recipes, and a wok will help us do just that. We hope to cook a lot together as we "wok" through life!

It'd be really "gouda" to have some special cheese knives when we host guests for dinner!

Help us enjoy a few candle-lit dinners as husband and wife!

As a former Starbucks barista, Heather insists that coffee is best kept in an opaque container (instead of the clear glass jar it's in now). This cute one matches our kitchen and decor perfectly!

Our bath towels are a varied collection of different colors and sizes collected over the years. We'd love to have some that look a little more grown-up and coordinate with our bathroom.

We're fortunate to live in an area with several big parks nearby. We'd love to get in the habit of heading to the park for a picnic now and then!

Our friends have a dutch oven and love it, so we thought we should try one out!

We have just one set of sheets for our bed currently, meaning that laundry has to be a quick process! We'd love to have an extra set, just in case our laundry sits in the dryer a little longer than it should on busy days.

One of our good friends loves preparing antipasti plates with cheese, olives, fruits, and spreads whenever we go over there for dinner. It's delicious, and we'd love to show our occasional dinner guests the same hospitality!

When Justin comes home from work with beer-soaked boots that need to dry out, a great fan would be super handy.

Rather than stocking our fridge constantly with Polar and La Croix (and lugging them up to our third-floor apartment), help us make our own sparkling water at home!

“As a former Mellow Mushroom manager, Justin loves making pizza - and we both love eating it! Homemade pizzas are a regular menu item in our house, and we'd love a pizza stone to make the perfect, crunchy pizza!”

"Lettuce" get healthier and break away from eating frozen lunches all the time at work.
