Work, work, work!

Not only are Brian and I working our butts off on the apartment with painting and moving furniture, but I have ten days to make the money I need for my monthly bills and my trip to Ireland. I'm going to be so dead by Thanksgiving!! One of our sister stores is looking for servers to pick up shifts so whenever I'm not working at my store I'm going to try and head over there. Ugh. The people that eat there completely suck and I'm not going to know anyone, but what's a few days of hell to a week and half in Ireland/England right? I'm just going to have to keep telling myself that over and over and over. It's gonna be rough but I think I can make it. I hope!!!

It's finally official!!!

We've been approved for the apartment!!!! When Brian came in tonight and told me I so excited that I literally lept off the couch and gave him the biggest hug! We're going to the apartment on Monday to sign the lease and we should be able to start painting and moving stuff in on Thursday. New place, here I come!!

Getting closer!

Brian saw the place on Saturday and really likes it! Yay! Now we just have to fill out the application and fax it over to our soon-to-be landlord. I'm getting so anxious. If the place was already ready to move into I'd be sleeping there already. Oh, how I hate having to be patient! I'm all packed except some clothes, a few odds and ends, and a few necessities. November needs to hurry up and get here!

Two more weeks!!!!

For those that don't know, I'll be moving soon!!!I'm very excited, and yes, my house will be fine for those of you that know the situation. I'm not just going to leave my family hanging, but I do need to get out on my own. Everything is all worked out. :)

Brian and I will be getting a two bedroom apartment in Lakewood. It's in a good neighborhood and just around the corner from many of our friends. Not only will I be getting to finally live with my dearest love, but the craftster in me will have a wonderful new place to decorate!!!

This is my inspiration:








Earthy. Ethnic. Warm. Inviting. Cultured.

Thank goodness Brian and I are in agreement with the color palette and the feel of how we want our place to be. I think I could pretty much do whatever I want and he would be okay with it. Our landlord is allowing us to paint too, which is amazing so we really have tons of options and colors/textures to play around with. I would really like to mix up the place with everything from Celtic and European decor to some Middle Eastern and Asian flavors. It should be a lot of fun!
