where have i been?

schooling. i have two classes a week. an interior design class mixed with quick books. and a photoshop class. i'm very excited about it and so far the semester has been so easy.

i've been busying myself with being laid off. the gym i've been working at for a measly 4 (exaggerating) months got bought out. they're trying something new, so they've laid off the entire front desk staff. its so great. i've applied at a few places. no news yet.

if you hear of anything, please let me know and i'll have my resume ready to send them. thank you, really. <3

i've been wedding planning, and it is so fun. very frustrating at times, but overall very fun. jon moved to california and applied (civilian terms...ha) for leave. he'll probably know next week whether or not he gets it. pray for us!! anyway, wedding plans are coming along.

with help from SAM, vender suggestions from emma, style suggestions from amanda, listening ear from kalie, planning help from katie, and especially, jon. he has done everything he can from where he is. most important, listening to me ventventvent.

i've received and already paid off (with a credit card...does that count?) a speeding ticket for going 15 over. and yes, i do still go 15 over.

and i've been doing lots of crafts. so hard to plan a wedding when i'm too busy planning the furniture and accessories for our new apartment/house/condo.

I will post about this chair. and my many other chairs. later.

jon and i are so excited about this print.

7 things about me. some going along with the blog.

1. in high school i got pulled over 6 times. all on state street. for all different things. burnt out head light, drunk driving (i wasn't drunk...the cop thought i was...it was TWO days after i got my license...he said i almost hit him. possibly the first (only....) time i ever dropped the f bomb. lyndsi was with me. i was so scared.), driving without my headlights on at night, etcetcetc. of those 6, i never got one ticket. ps i'm a great driver, despite what you may be thinking.

2. i'm a recent design blog addict.

3. i love chairs. love love.

4. sometimes i wish i was a graphic designer. it would make most things in life so much easier. including decorating our future home...ha.

5. i have a love/hate relationship with hot chocolate. i love it soo much! and hate it sooo much..

6. i hated school..up until i realized what i wanted to do. now i love going to school and love homework!
