change...again...

All my life I've never dealt well with change. I thought after four years of living in England and experiencing a lot of change, I had finally reached a point where I could handle it...nope....!

I feel like I've had too many changes this year. True, I've had a lot of great ones (i.e. marrying my Michael) but I've had a lot of tough ones too.

1. Mom fighting skin cancer

2. Losing my gram

3. trying to find a job I like

4. Saying good bye to dear friends

5. my parents and favorite brother moving across country....

Can I just say, I feel like that's enough! I can't take much more....I'm tired of crying, I'm tired of doubting and asking why, I'm tired....

I'm so ready for there not to be any more big changes for a while. But, who can control that, right?!

Posting...

I've not been great at posting this week...but lots of changes have happened; 

1. my parents are moving this week :( So they will soon be on their way to North Carolina! I think a visit date needs to be chosen because I can't bear the thought of not seeing them...

2. I've felt very frustrated this week and don't know exactly way...maybe it's all the change? I've never been good at that...

3. I GOT A JOB! I will be a nanny 2 days a week! Which I totally love cause then I can still be a homemaker :) and work on more things to sell on my etsy shop. Plus, I love having some availability!

This weekend is going to be busy! Robyn's party is on Saturday and my parents going away party on Sunday and then....they leave :( At least I have MANY amazing memories with them and they are getting more techno savvy each day, so SKYPE is soon on their horizon (and they have my Randy who I'm sure will just love helping them :) 

Project 1= complete!

Our internet was down most of the day yesterday so I took a little break from here...which some days I don't know why I do it any way but i guess it's the adventure of it... I finally finished the little shelf i wanted to paint! here it is:

Not bad for a FREE shelf, huh?

Wedding day #3

Pick a theme, that's what totally helped me start the creative juices flowing for our wedding day! So, I picked, BUTTONS! I love buttons! It made for real intrigue once the word got out too and people were just dying to know what I was going to use them for (I hope it didn't disappoint!) I had buttons on the tables, I made button boutonniere's for the guys, a button stamp on our invitations, on the cake, all the girls shoes, in my bouquet, you get the picture :) So, my advice? Pick a theme :)

The List

10 things I'm gonna miss about having my parents (and brothers) in the same state.

1. Hugs...I love hugs and I'm gonna miss having those! (Mk, be ready, you have a big job to fill!)

2. Free food :) As newlyweds sometimes its so nice to go to the parents and have a free meal 

3. A place to "escape" for a bit when i need a break from my house

4. My childhood home...

5. Laughter ringing through the house when everyone comes "home"

6. Christmas twril

7. A place to wash my car

8. A reason to go to my home town

9. My Mum

10. My Dad (and brothers when they go...)

Be reminded how blessed you are if your family still lives close by! Please pray for my parents and brothers as they make a HUGE transition from California to N. Carolina!

Grand Day

So, I failed to take pictures of it BUT this weeks addition of "grand day" is a funny one. Since we've been married (almost 4 months, eek!) we've had a full size bed in our living room! Thankfully it was up against the wall BUT still, we had a BED in our living room! So on Saturday we got to "kill two birds with one stone" and deliver the bed to a friend AND got to spend time with my little sister.

It is a huge relief to have the bed gone and now I'm busy trying to put our living room back together, total disaster zone right now! Well, there you have it, it's the little things that can make for a "grand day"!

Craft/Project Day

Ok, so I might have been a bit ambitious about getting my bookcase painted in a week...A huge plus? My father in law has an electric sander so now my job should be a million times easier! (and a great way to get the hubby involved in this project :) 

So this I will complete by next week...

I'm going to paint it a lovely avocado green! Best part? IT WAS FREE!
