So many changes, so little time.

So, I know I haven't blogged in forever (I've been crazy busy!) but what I can tell you is that since I lasted posted I got this wonderful job working as a graphic designer for the Washington Wine & Beverage company out in Woodinville, WA, Tyler and I moved, sold all our stuff, decorated our apartment with new stuff, and ever since my free time has been spent desperately searching for a car (oh, and my car was totaled over spring break), working on wedding invitations, two sets of shower invitations, t-shirts and wine labels. It's been absolute madness but it's been fun.

This blog post is probably more for me than for anybody else, as there is so much I've had on my mind lately that I just sort of needed somewhere to organize my thoughts! Here they are, in random order.

Thought 1: I need to figure out what the heck we are going to put above our mantle! Our apartment is looking cute but I still don't have anything over there and it's a bit of an eyesore.

Thought 2: now that I am all settled in to my job and new place it is time to get focused on getting into shape! I was doing really well before I left but I've sort stalled out a bit on the diet front-- but I'm starting a new diet and I'm really excited about it! Swim suit whether is upon us and that means full-fledged workout plan for me. However, starting a new job and moving was stressful, so I lost 2 pounds from not being able to eat so hey! that helps a little too. Haha.

Thought 3: I need to find a car. But do I go with something newer and make payments on it, or do I buy something sort of crappy that I can pay out of pocket for? Sigh.

Thought 4: Summertime. I need to make some fun plans for Ty and I so that we have something fun to look forward to!

Thought 5: I'm working on something for work that I am REALLY excited about...but I don't want to stay anything until I know for sure that it is a go! So in the meantime, I've got to do a really good job on this so that I make the most of this opportunity.

Thought 6: Bridal shower. So many plans, so much to do, so little time. It's going to be really awesome and really special but there is still quite a lot to do.

Oh, and here are some pics of the new place!
our living room! I'm so excited about our new gallery wall-- we just finished hanging it last week! We still need photos for our frames. Haha. We're working on it but we really don't have that many printed photos.The other side of the room-- we have a little gas fireplace which we will probably never use. :) We are also looking for a bookshelf/bookstand to go on the right side of our tv stand.Our "herb garden." Haha. We have a patio outside but so far we don't have all that much out there yet-- except our two little pots of herbs. HAHA.
The dining area off the kitchen-- as you can see it is still pretty bare. But we are really excited because we refinished that table ourselves and picked out the mismatching chairs to go with it. :) We want to put a set of shelves on the wall to the left of the table and put little collections of cool things on there. :)Our kitchen. :)Our bedroom - not much in there but i LOVE our new bedding!! It has old love letters printed all over it (Thanks mom!!)The window in our bedroom-- I LOVE OUR VIEW!! it has birds and squirrels and nature outside and it is quiet (except for the nature sounds) and peaceful all the time. Our place feels a little bit like a tree house outside because we are so high up and surrounded by trees. :)
