creation.

These are my newest creations for my apartment! I'm going to hang them on my wall somewhere....so I must be feeling pretty artsy these days because not only did I do these in one day, I'm also working on a dresser for my room :) I'm not just painting...I'm painting it and doing a faux finish! I'm so proud of myself lol. Anyways...totally loving getting stuff ready for my apartment. It's making me so excited to move back to springfield, as if getting back to my boyfriend isn't reason enough! So, just thought I would blog about my newest creations. I LOVE love!

work.

So as you know, I just was hired as a nanny last week but was only hired for part time work. I work from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. (ish). I really wanted to find another part time job because the 15 hours a week was not enough for me to make through the summer. Last night, I was asked to work at my church as my youth pastor's assistant. WHAT A BLESSING! God is so awesome! So I have a really jam packed schedule right now, but I know that God is preparing me for some crazy awesome things. Getting to work with David is going to be a really awesome experience for me and I know that this summer is ultimately preparing me for what is to come in my future. As a teacher I'm going to have lots of things to juggle; schedules, 20 kids, lesson plans, recess duty, grading papers, etc. so I'm looking at this busy season right now as preparation. Thanks for reading about my crazy awesome life! I realized after writing this, I'm kinda a rambler lol. Peace.

innocence on a volcanic island.

So this last Monday, Memorial Day, I went to Lowe's/Home Depot with my dad to pick out paint for my dresser that I'm "revamping". So anyways, it's this really old dresser that we've had for years and it's been in the basement so I decided to repaint it and use it in my apartment. Well, I decided on painting it cream and then glazing it with brown to make it look antique(ish). So I thought, hey I'll run to Home Depot really quick and grab cream colored paint....LIES! It was certainly not a quick process. They have like 1,000 different shades of cream paint. So after much deliberation I decided on the color, Innocence. The brown that I chose was called Volcanic Island so my dad kept saying, "innocence on a volcanic island". Anyways, I'm way excited for my dresser! It's really looking great! I'll put up before and after pics on my next post. Peace.
