Updates

Summer is winding down, and so am I. This summer has been eventful, and while I had a blast I am looking forward to a quiet fall.

Here are a few things about the past few weeks. 

1. My birthday was the last week of August. My family celebrated on the previous Sunday with burgers and apple crisp. On Wednesday, my friends and I checked out the new Grand River Marketplace then went to my house to play Cards Against Humanity until 4 am. 

2. I have read a lot of books. Over a hundred already (which beat my goal) and it's only September!

3. I have gotten a lot of positive feedback at work, and I am being sent to several conferences and workshops over the next two months. 

4. I am organizing my life. Changes are coming, and I feel energized. 

Three Things

1. My father is giving me a tv stand that he built. I have rearranged my studio so that it can be used for storage. I will post pictures when I have everything situated.

2.  Everyone wants to have dinner with me all of the sudden.

3. Wednesday nights are officially deemed Wednesday Night Skype. Crafts and epicness are inevitable.

Thankful

It's the season to think positive. Here are a few things I am thankful for:

1. Family: I am thankful for both of my thanksgivings. It is rare to see my extended family, and I cherish every moment.

2. My new job: I no longer work retail, and I am excited for the holidays. I encourage you to thank the person behind the counter this holiday season.

3. Being: I am happy that I am less stressful. I am reading more, crafting more, and I am discovering my interests can lead me to a career.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Three Things Today

1. I should probably move my computer to my studio; I have gotten a lot done today because I brought it downstairs.

2. If you add apple cider to snickerdoodle mix it makes the cookies formless but delicious.

3. Sundays are perfect for a Community Marathon.

Three Current Things

1. I love my new job.

2. I am starting to catch up on this year's book goal on Shelfari. It's one of the perks of my job.

3. I started organizing my beads. My mother-in-law has a table that would be perfect for my craft room, but we're not sure how to get it home.

The Bright Side

1. Matt and I brought our cat Misty home last week. I am happy to say her transition went better than I anticipated.

2. I had an unexpected day off on Sunday. Matt and I slept in, had pancakes, went to an evening church service, and did P90X Yoga. It was a treat to spend a day off with Matt, and I am still feeling relaxed.

3. I am tweaking my blog design again. Most notably, I have added a navigation bar including About Me, DIY and Tutorials, Find Me, and a link to With Eyes Lifted, my Etsy shop (which I plan to restock soon). I also cleaned up my sidebar widgets.

A Thankful Thanksgiving

1. Family. With a retail schedule, I truly appreciate the time I get to spend with them.
2. Food on the table. If you go to bed hungry in my house, you have chosen to not eat. Not everyone can say that.
3. Matt and I married two months ago today! If all goes well, we will be moving into our first house in the beginning of the new year.

It has been a year of positive changes. With so many without, I am thankful for the blessings God has given me.

Three Things

1. My family and friends are quality.
2. Hand massages take away stress you never knew you had.
3. I will be married to my best friend in less than 24 hours.

Three Things About Tonight

1. Cut Copy is amazing live.
2. I have tomorrow off.
3. I am getting married in less than three months!
