life is good...

Erica, Anna, Bethany and I at SCAT Jazz Club

all of us at Dave Barnes


So, I got a job! Finally, Praise the Lord. I will be working at The Limited. It isn't what I set out to do, retail that is...but my plans changed when my friend Bethany asked me to help her with the Peddler Show. I am going to be traveling with her some weekends, and it would just be hard to work a full time Monday-Friday job, if I had to leave Thursday's for the Peddler Show...so, if the Peddler Show, works out, which I hope it does because it sounds like so much fun! Then I will work at The Limited, and if it doesn't work out, then I will probably have to get a full time job, at an office, which was what my original plan was. I am excited to work at The Limited, I love their clothes...discount:) So that is good, because I really needed to find a job. 

I must say, I absolutely love Ft. Worth. There is so much to do here, and we haven't even seen half of it. It is so exciting to live in a city where there is fun stuff to do! And to have people you love to go out with and do all of it with! In the last week, we all...being me, Erica, Bethany, and Anna...went downtown to Ft. Worth, to a jazz club, and hung out in a penthouse in downtown Ft. Worth. We went downtown to Dallas to see Dave Barnes in concert. He was amazing. We are planning to see Augustana and Maroon 5 in September. We just have so much to look forward to. 
...I know for me, Bethany and Anna in particular, after living in Canyon last year, we are so happy here, to actually have options and not have to stay in all the time. It's so different...it's wonderful! 

I just feel like I am in just a good place in my life right now, I am really happy. I have no idea what I am doing really to be quite honest. I am not going to school, I am working retail, and I am more than OK with all of it. I am not stressed with where I am supposed to be, or questioning if I am doing the right thing with my life...which I do a lot. I am happy with where I am right now. And I am looking forward to the future and what is next.

back in Texas...

Well, I am officially a Texan again. Erica and I moved into our apartment today! After what seemed like the longest car ride of my life on Thursday. We left Lexington, Thursday morning around 7:30 eastern time, and didn't get to Dallas until about 10:45 central time! We were in 3 cars altogether, so that made it hard with stops, and one of the cars was a moving truck. I didn't drive at all. Erica and I rode together in her car, and she has a standard, and I can't drive that, so she said she would drive the entire way. I could never do that. But, not driving made the trip longer I think. Anyways, after a VERY long trip, we are finally here. Movers came and unloaded our truck Friday morning(today) and we started unpacking. Still quite a bit to do. 

Our apartment is so cute. In the main room, we had the choice to have an accent wall, so we decided to be bold and paint it red, it looks so good! I can't wait to get all the accessories and everything in there, its going to look so good! I got new bedding, that I absolutely LOVE, its red...and tonight I went to target with my parents and found the perfect lamp to go in my room with a red lampshade...it made me so happy. It's the little things in life...
I'll be putting pictures up soon, but I don't have that many right now. I'll wait until the apartment is all set up!  
Well, that is all for now, I'm so exhausted from moving all day, I'm going to go crash.
