I promise I will be a much more timely blog poster once we get internet in our apartment (hurry up August 1^st)... Speaking of our apartment, we are all moved in! Mind you, all moved in means we have beds and a few cans of Spaghetti O’s. Our furniture is coming tomorrow and hopefully decorating will follow. Hopefully.

I really love our apartment.

I love the cute little windy street we drive to get there.

I love the pretty pink trees that I walk by to check our mail.

I love the little spanish-y archways leading to our door.

However, I do not love that those little pink trees have these little pink blossoms that we track all over our house and I continually think they are bugs.

I don’t love that our neighbors have little yippy dogs that bark every time you walk by the window.

And I really don’t love that our oven (we have so appropriately named Satan) cooks our food unrealistically fast. I mean, cookies in three minutes. No exaggeration.

...But hey, I guess you can’t have it all.

I am very excited about my new room. There is just something so exciting about decorating a new place, am I right? First things first, I painted one wall in my room purple. And let me just tell you, I love my purple wall. Probably too much. And now I am in search for the perfect purple-walled-room accessories.

Isn't the perfect bed for a purple wall?

I love this.

Definitely making a picture wall. Love.

I need this.

Obsessed with this ribbon wall. Maybe for a wall in my room?

As for my life as a new wedding planner, well, it is going great! I really think I am going to love my job. Not that I don’t already, but let’s just say my first wedding was one to remember. Ethiopian dancing, ethnic food, 200 extra surprise guests, police men, ruined tablecloths, packing flowers until 2am, and a second event cancellation. My boss has assured me this isn’t normal, and I am taking her word for it. What’s that phrase: baptized by fire? Well, that was definitely me last weekend. But surprisingly, I came to work the next day.

And actually enjoyed it.

Some of my Abilene BFF’s are coming to Big D for the weekend and I am almost beside myself with excitement! That’s it for now. Stay tuned for the weekend recap.
