My apartment

Well I've been working for 8 weeks and been moved into my apartment for almost 6 weeks and my apartment is basically 80 percent organized and put together. So I thought I'd talk about it and show some pics.


First is my living room, my curtains are the same that I had in Raleigh, but they have been taken apart and put in their two separate parts since I have two windows instead of a sliding patio door.




Standing in my bedroom doorway looking into the living room. To the left, not in the picture is the front door and to the right is the kitchen.


Speaking of the kitchen, it is one of my favorite places in my apartment. I love to cook, so have space is great!




I LOVE all the counter space, in the foreground is the edge of the sink and another little bit of counter. Great storage and space to cook! YEA!

My second bedroom is the mess area at the moment, it will in the near future have a bed. If/when you go through Wichita or stop to see me, there will be a great place to stay! Forgive it's mess for now, it will be picked up soon. Lots of what's in the middle of the room is for the bed that will be put in there. The curtains I love and were the curtains in my bedroom before I got my new bedset.


The final and newest part of my home is the bedset my mom has made for me for my bedroom. Imagine the walls are tuorquise and the pink lamp isn't there, but this is my new duvet and curtains! I love them both! So excited to have them! Now I just need more on the walls as far as decorations go!
So in a nutshell that is my apartment! I love it and soon it will be all set. It's a work in progress. Now I can start working on my journal article. I've been extremely bad about that! I've got to get it done! Hope you've enjoyed the picture book.
Love!

A great day deserves a long needed post!

It's been a long time, this I admit...to long. I've delayed in my posting, first, because I was hella busy..couldn't even find time to sleep let alone blog, but then not so busy for the last 3 weeks or so...It just never got written, even if I'd sit down to write something, ever happen to you? Well I am here, I do exist and I'm have a good time in Wichita!

Today motivated me to post this long needed blog, as my two amazing friends surprised me this morning by arriving on my doorstep. I was SHOCKED!!!! I was still in bed (as usual on my day's off) and someone knocked on my door. I couldn't see who it was out my peep hole, only knowing it was a female, so when I opened the door...I was in shock to see Sarah and Margret. I could only say...what are you doing here. They gave me the best surprise I've gotten since Kristen arrived in Norman for my 22nd birthday. We went and had a wonderful 3 course meal at TGI Fridays, and then to the NWS. After a little driving around we went to 27 Dresses. I LOVED the movie and was so happy to be able to see it with my best buddies. It's a great funny movie. It's definitely one I want to own. They've left for their drive back to Norman, but their visit is something I appreciate more than they know! So if you read this, THANKYOU!

Other than that, the past month has been filled with some working, apartment organizing, TV watching, and sleeping. After my crazy Christmas (which was insanely crazy), I started to actually organize my apartment. A few good days off and I got a majority of it arranged and organized. I still have a few boxes in the extra bedroom to go through, but more of it's being an organizing freak and getting it organized the way I want it. My parents came down last weekend and brought my curtains and my new bedroom set. We put up the curtains and some pictures to make it look more homey. I love my bedroom with the new curtains and Duvet, I will post some pictures in the future.

I'm hoping to get back into being online again, with my computer in the other room and being on the computer 40 hours a week, I tend to not want to get online when I get home.

I'm loving Wichita and my job, I still feel so lucky and am so happy for this time in my life. With time it will only get better. So as I said, I will do my best to be on here more often. Miss you all and Love!
