So, I've moved to a new apartment with my dear hubby, and it took a while for us to get it up and decent looking. I mean, the apartment it gorgeous, it was just remodeled, but what I meant is that it's taken us a little while to get it to look like a home. But I think it's just about there! We still have a few things left to do, but it's getting there...
So this week, I put in my 2-weeks notice at the pizza parlor. I can taste the sweet freedom now! Don't get me wrong, I like the job, and i like the people I work with... I just can't do it anymore. I'm so done with it. I close almost every night I work, and I'm exhausted. My husband works all day, then he comes home and I'm usually going out the door when he's walking in the door. So I took on another job so that things could possibly work out better for us. I am now managing our apartment complex that we live in, and so our rent and PG&E and all that stuff is paid for and as soon as I'm done at the parlor, We can have dinner together more than once a week! I'm so excited! I also told my hubby (Clint) that I'm so excited to be able to paint my nails again. He laughed and I said, "It's the simple things in life that make me happy, dear."
So back to making my apartment a home...
Thanks to my mother and my older sister, I've done a couple of simple projects that I have just fallen in love with!
The first one my mom gave me the idea for. We were at Pier1 and I found a picture rod (it almost looked like a curtain rod, but it has little wires wrapped around it and making loops to hold/pinch pictures on), and she said it would be a good idea to hang fabric from one side and put pictures on the other side. So I went to the fabric store and got 2 yards of fabric, then sewed a little curtain (by hand... ouch!) to hang from the picture rod. Then I developed some of our favorite wedding pictures to put on the top.
The second project involves my sister's input. My mom had bought me one of those wall art stickers. It said "Live Every Moment. Love Beyond Words. Laugh Everyday." And I really loved it! However, when Clint got home he read the directions and pointed out to me that it wouldn't work on flat paint. Dagnabbit! I was so bummed out. But then My sister came over and gave me the idea to put the word on the glass of a picture frame and to put fabric in the frame. GENIUS! So off to the fabric store again!
HUZZAH! :D I'm so stinkin' excited about how these things turned out! and they were so simple to make! Well, hopefully I wont neglect my blog so much (especially after I get so much more free time!) and I'll keep this thing updated. :)
Very cute, Linds! Yes! I agree with keeping the blog updated more! It keeps me filled in on little things... like I didn't realize that Crint buys you flowers on the 11th of every month. That's so sweet!! Also, I am very happy for you 2 weeks notice announcement! But I should come get some pizza one last time before you call it quits!! Anyway, I'm getting ready to call you and in that phone call I will pretty much tell you all of this information anyway, but it's nice to get comments. :) Love you, Linds!
