Well, I have recently become addicted to this website, www.pinterest.com... And it has inspired me. Made me jealous. Fooled me. Made me laugh out loud. It has ahold of me. Well, anyways, I am now inspired to be crafty. I have ask for a sewing machine for my birthday, which is T minus 28 days by the way, so I can make our living room curtains, a couple wreaths for people, and well, lots of other stuff that I am so excited about. The front bedroom is going to become our... creation/imagination space! We have the nook for reading, the piano, guitars, and flute for jamming, the craft table to sewing,etc. This is DEFINITELY my favorite room in the house. The front room isn't the only room getting creativity going...the kitchen is too! I bought this book this weekend...What's up Cupcake? and I will become the QUEEN of Cupcakes. I am perfect for it. I don't eat them, but everyone loves my cupcakes. So, my children(one day.far away.VERY, far away.) and my nieces/nephews will be super spoiled to awesomeness.The laundry room/ workout room however is NOT my favorite room at all. Our garage converted into an oversized laundry room is getting more action now than just the washer and dryer. We are getting a treadmill put in tomorrow, thanks to Mom, and we have a total gym in there. I think we are going to be moving our oversized tv in there for workout videos too. Once we get a flatscreen. (I'm dreaming here, so let me be.) I'm currently trying to convince Aaron that that room is now manspace, so that includes all laundry. Its a work in progress. So for some inspiring ideas and laughs check out pinterest, and get yourself ready for some blogging awesomeness to come when I get that sewing machine.
Onto some more serious, life-changing decisions...please keep me in your prayers as I make the decision to go back to school. We are looking at our finances and plans for the house, children, bills, etc. and seeing when I can go back. Things are looking pretty good. It's looking like spring 2012, I will be going back to school for an Associates Degree in Journalism, with an emphasis in Photography. God planning-willing. We still have alot of research to do about it, some more decisions to make, and see if John Brown will even take me. My goal is to: get accepted to John Brown, get grants, scholarships wherever possible, and graduate in 2 1/2 with an Associates in Journalism with an emphasis in Photography. :)
We'll see.
And even more serious that me deciding to return to school, Aaron&I being the newlyweds that we are..had a little scare this week in the "child" department. Which got us really paying attention to finances, by the way. Anyways, after 4 whole days and a test later, we're in the clear. No kiddos coming this month! This is probably TMI for some people, but for those who we don't really get to talk to...it isn't. BUT, we did come to terms with it, I think...more him than me, that if God did decide to give us a kid now, it'll be alright. We spent some time picking out names and getting some ideas just in case the time came, or comes in the next 3 to 4 years, we'd be ready. This little scare has really made me and Aaron want to start doing things and quickly...like rock climbing this Saturday, we're planning a float trip in June, vacation next May with our best friends, building the deck, tiling the floor, etc. More than anything, OBVIOUSLY, we're not ready to give up our time without kids yet! Shoot, we've been married 3 weeks! haha.
As promised here are some wedding pictures! It will be in slideshow format...so give me a little time to work it out!
love!
