Update [5.5.10]

I haven't been so great at blogging life lately. Thinking back on it, this move has really messed with my routine and overall life balance for not weeks, but months. I'm kinda ready to settle into "normal" again, whatever that looks like. (I have a feeling it may be years with all the change that is about to take place!) I'm pretty behind on work stuff still, but getting there. For me, that's when it gets really hard to balance things, especially working from home. But I'll find my rhythm. In the mean time, I wanted to update on what's been going on around here lately.

-Phase one of my kitchen is getting closer and closer to being done.




-Made a trip to IKEA a couple days ago and got new office furniture, as well as some other great finds (like a $25 coffee table).

-Got started on the library/reading nook at the other end of the living room and I love it! Just gotta paint (I'm open to suggestions!), some great chairs or couch, a cushion and pillows for the top of the window seat, and finish filling/decorating the shelves!



-Finally took down the two horrible brass chandaliers (I use that term loosely) in the kitchen and dining area! Yaaay!

-Spray painted said chandaliers and put the pink one in Abby's room and the purple one is going in my laundry room. :) They came out cute!

Okay, I just realized I only updated about house stuff. Can you tell I'm a little consumed at this point?! LOL

There really has been other stuff going on too (some of which will have their own blog posts)...

- Aaron turned 31 last week!
- Abby turns 6 today!
- We went to the Helotes Cornyval last week with some of our NW Campus team and had a great time!
- Shot a gorgeous wedding.
- Spent time with lots of different friends and had a great time!
- Watched God provide in the big and little things. (A very cool thing to let Him do for you.)
- Prayed with my husband.
- Gave lots of hugs.
- Began going through a [Bible Study] teacher's training with a great group of ladies.
