I can't believe it's been so long since I last blogged. I feel so disconnected from all my bloggy friends. I am so behind on reading y'alls blogs and commenting =( This week has been crazy hectic! Since coming home from our weekend away, I have had a hard time getting back into the swing of things. I just keep wishing we were still on vacation. Speaking of our weekend getaway, I promise I will write a full post about it either tomorrow or Monday.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I missed yesterday's What I'm Loving Wednesday with Jaime, but I decided to go ahead and do it anyways :) There's so many things I'm loving... I just had to share.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>I'm loving</strong> last weekend's trip to... CHARLESTON! Matt & I had a wonderful time just walking around the city looking at all of the beautiful homes & buildings. I definitely fell in love with this town and would LOVE to retire there one day.</span><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">Friday night- It was rainy & super cold, so we stayed decided to stay in. We got pizza delivered and caught up on our tv shows from the past week that we had recorded. </span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><img height="248" id="il_fi" src="http://www.pearsalltexas.com/images/pizza_hut.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="222" /></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">Saturday- That morning, I cooked us a yummy brunch, did some laundry, and watched tv. That afternoon, I had the great idea of going to Barnes & Noble. I'm a big nerd, so bookstores really excite me ;) I thought it would be fun to hang out in the cafe, drink some Starbucks coffee, and do some research. <span style="font-size: small;">(More on that later this week)</span> My hunny was not as thrilled about the idea as I was. He's a sweetie though and went with me anyhow. It turned out to be such a nice time! & He did have a good time, even if he didn't want to admit it haha. I will have to say though, I never knew sooo many people went to B&N on Saturdays. We seriously had to <strike>stalk</strike> circle the tables like twenty times before we found a place to sit. I guess someone finally got tired of us staring at them. :)</span></div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">Sunday- Yesterday turned out to be the best day of the weekend! One of Matt's co-workers invited us to go to church with him & his wife, so we decided what the heck..let's give it a shot. It was such a great experience! We really enjoyed the service... their band was AWESOME. Everyone was so friendly there, and they have tons of things to get involved with. This church will definitely be a contender on our quest for a church home. Last night, the same couple we went to church with came over to our place to watch the Super Bowl. It was so nice having company over and making new friends. None of us are big NFL fans, so after the first quarter, the guys actually ended up playing on the Wii. I feel so blessed that God is helping us make new friends here in SC! </span></div><div align="center"><br />

Good luck trying to keep up :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">As most of y'all know, I started my new job as a nanny this week. It has been such a wonderful experience, and I know I am going to continue to love it. It has actually been a very easy first week. The youngest got sick with the flu yesterday morning =\ poor thing... so I only had to watch the other two for a couple of hours after they got home from school. I wanted to get them out of the house, so we went to the library & chik-fil-a for a snack. We will likely be doing something similar this afternoon since the youngest is still running a fever. I sure hope she gets to feeling better soon! I also hope that the other two kiddos don't get sick (me either, for that matter).</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am so looking forward to spending a relaxing weekend with my hunny. It's supposed to rain all weekend, so I foresee lots of movie watching, cuddling, and book reading. We are also considering visiting a local church this Sunday. There are so many churches around here and lots of different dominations to choose from. I figure Matt and I can start visiting a different church every Sunday until we find one that's perfect for us. Matt grew up attending Methodist and Baptist churches, and I have attended the same Episcopal church my entire life. We both want to check out churches around here that are these dominations as well as probably a Lutheran church. We really do not know much about Lutheran churches. There are TONS of Lutheran churches around here, and hardly any where we are from. We have heard that it's similar to Episcopal, so we want to check it out. If anyone knows anymore about it, I would love to hear from you. Hopefully, we will find a church that we fall in love with. We are hoping to find a more contemporary service, a congregation that includes younger couples, and a church that has programs for people in their 20's... like a Bible Study group.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Moving on to my next random thought, I am currently reading the book Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. I am on Chapter 6 and still having a hard time getting into it. Has anyone else read this? Since this book is being made into a movie, I thought I would read it before it came out. I love watching movies and seeing how different they are from the actual book. I will have to say typically the book is much better! I'll let y'all know what I think once I finish it.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bscreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/water-for-elephants.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="336" id="il_fi" src="http://www.bscreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/water-for-elephants.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="213" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I know, we aren't moving for another month and a half... what can I say? I like to plan ahead. Just ask the fiance! I drive him nuts with all of my plans :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the new house, there is a formal dining room which is really nice BUT we hardly ever sit at our table to eat. It seems like such a waste to use the entire room for just the table. I need some ideas of how to incorporate other functional furniture pieces such as a desk into the room. I need this room to be multi-functional! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="image 2169080172-3" height="300" src="http://images.craigslist.org/3k53m43pb5O15T65U2b1j26ff4dd95af01b91.jpg" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is the dining room. This picture came from the rental advertisement, so this is obviously a previous renter's things. Not the best pic.. But it's all I've got right now! The wall that is not shown is an entry way into the den.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img height="320" id="il_fi" src="http://cache0.bigcartel.com/product_images/27303440/_2708_Counter_Height_Dining_Table_Set.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="408" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is not our exact set, but it is very similar. As you can see, it's a very small table. I just can't see using the whole room to only house this baby.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="EXPEDIT Workstation white Width: 60 5/8 " Depth: 31 1/8 " Height: 58 5/8 " Width: 154 cm Depth: 79 cm Height: 149 cm " border="0" height="400" id="productImg" src="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/images/products/expedit-workstation-white__0094344_PE232230_S4.JPG" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is the exact desk that we have. Since it is a small home, I don't think there will be room for our desk in the guest bedroom which is where we have it in our current apartment. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Any ideas on how to incorporate both of these items into the room without it looking junky or a hodge-podge of furniture?? All ideas would be greatly appreciated! </span></div>Katelynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00613099816428314818noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657013959289782619.post-84049312723862492032011-01-26T12:58:00.000-08:002011-01-26T12:58:40.924-08:00What I'm Loving Wednesday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigthC98lQhKOtNcatPNIyo1Ap4JAoKzXVa9OCIFuLwk3J9Mn6gJgrA9URPIsFN22IzNfmwUimG6F4lfL4-ovpHZPj_cxUIjQ1IFEIJ335MPgTLTjONj5D1xCVcHpiAqdBNrMmZFZeVyXY/s400/WILW.jpg" /></div><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">Yep, I'm going to be a nanny for 3 wonderful children :)</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"><img height="416" id="il_fi" src="http://www.nanny-network.com/images/nanny_ill.gif" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="307" /></span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">For those of you who don't know, I am currently finishing my last semester of college by taking online courses. All I had left were elective credits to get, so the classes I'm taking are fairly easy and not very time consuming. This has left me with uber amounts of free time and lots of boredom! After realizing how much free time I had, I decided I needed to get a part-time job. Plus, it would be nice to have some extra cash! Matt loved the idea ;)</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">Over the past few weeks, I interviewed with a wonderful family with three cute children. They interviewed others as well & had it down to me and other girl. BUT last night I found out I got the job!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">I could not be more excited about this! It's the perfect part-time job. No minimum wage, no crazy hours, no working weekends. Much better than say working retail. I'll be working 12-5, five days a week. </span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">The children are absolutely adorable! They are 4, 6, and 8. The two youngest are girls and the oldest a boy. I look forward to spending time with them and forming a relationship with them!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">I'm sure with time I will have lots of funny stories to share with y'all & I will probably be asking for your advice. Heck, if you got any tips now I would love to hear! Especially ideas for craft projects! I love hearing y'alls thoughts and opinions :) Thanks so much for being so supportive and sweet to me! I really do appreciate the kind words, especially the other day when I told y'all about the rental house. Hope everyone is having an amazing Tuesday!!</span> </div><div align="center"><br />

Hope y'all are having an amazing weekend like I am. My parents were supposed to come up yesterday and stay the night with us. That ending up not working out though, so I was a little bummed. BUT the weekend turned out just great! Even better, I still have today to enjoy with my man :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I think we have found a house downtown to rent! I wrote earlier about looking for </span><a href="http://mk-justthe2ofus.blogspot.com/2011/01/decisions-decisions.html"><span style="font-size: large;">apartments</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> last weekend, and how confusing it made us. We decided that we weren't really thrilled with any of the apartments or their high prices, so we decided to check out houses for rent. I'm sure glad we did! The house we looked at yesterday is just PERFECT and we feel in love with it instantly! It's convenient to all sorts of neat restaurants, cafes, and shops. It's super cute AND allows pets, so we might just be getting a dog as well. I would REALLY like a puppy to keep me company while Matt is out of town, and there is even a huge fenced-in backyard for the dog to play in! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">We plan on talking to the landlord today, and hopefully we will be able to get the house. Only problem is the people living in the house right now will be moving out in the middle of February, and we weren't looking to move until mid-March when our current lease is up. I'm really hoping we can work something out in order to hold the property for us. Everyone keep your fingers crossed! I'll be sure to keep y'all updated.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img height="459" id="il_fi" src="http://www.mymoviecinema.com/uploads/movies/410.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="306" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">After looking at the house yesterday, Matt and I spent the day at the movies. We saw two movies back to back- No Strings Attached & The Green Hornet. I just LOVE having a movie marathon. It's so exciting! No Strings Attached was pretty dang funny. I recommend everyone seeing it, but don't take your children ;) haha</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Green Hornet... ehhh, what can I say? It was a bit lame but funny at times. The best part about this movie was that it was in 3D. This was my first experience of a 3D movie in a regular theater... I've been to an IMAX theater, but that's about it. As for the movie, I wouldn't waste my money. Just wait and watch it when it's in Redbox. </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I found this beautiful thing at Plato's Closet the other day & I am IN LOVE! Even better I only paid $15 for it. It's from Forever 21... I'm sure it wasn't much more than this in the store, but I still feel like I got it for a steal =) </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">For some time now, I've admired outfits that incorporate blazers and have considered buying one. I really did not want to spend a lot of money on one, since I wasn't sure that I could really pull the look off. Also, I knew I would have a hard time finding a nice fitted blazer for cheap. I am rather petite on top, so things tend to look bulky on me. BUT this one finds just perfect!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Let me just say, this was much needed. Our closet and drawers were over-flowing with clothes, shoes, hats, etc. & I haven't even brought my summer clothes up here yet. I left them at my parents' home back in Alabama. Something had to be done about the excessive amount of clothing, so I started sorting through all of it. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sunday, the fiance woke up from a nap to me asking which of his clothes we could get rid of. haha. I had made several piles of things that he never wears & he allowed me to get rid of most it =) That guy has more khaki shorts than anyone I know. I got rid of about 6 pairs, and he still has a whole drawer full of khaki shorts. I think he has a slight obsession!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I also went through my things. I found lots of tops that I have been holding onto for quite some time but just never wear. I took some of the clothing that were still in good shape to Plato's Closet and the rest went to GoodWill. I got about $75 from Plato's Closet which wasn't as much as I got the last time I took things there, but hey it's better than nothing. AND our closet/dressers look a million times better! Now there's room for my summer clothes!</span><br />

We looked at four different apartment complexes today, and I am officially more confused than ever about where we should live. Thank the Lord, we have a few months to decide.

Well let me just tell you, things did not go as planned! We spent over 5 hours in Matt's truck and never made it to South Carolina. My parents live about an hour from Atlanta, and we never even made it to Atlanta! The roads were in terrible condition to say the least. At one point an 18-wheeler right beside us got stuck in the middle of the road and could not move. Right before we got to Atlanta, the police made everyone get off an exit and shut down the interstate heading east. We then had to turn around, get back on the interstate, and head back to Alabama. On our way back, we had to sit in traffic again! It was a terrible experience.

I suppose I did see this during the blizzard of '93, but I was too young to remember ;) We got about four inches of snow, and today the snow has become solid ice.

I'm hoping that it doesn't snow! Going days without power or being able to leave the house just does not sound fun to me.</span></div><br />

Right now, it's really just a hodge podge of everything thrown together. I love the mixture of brown and blue in this photo. We have a brown leather sofa and loveseat, as well as white walls <span style="font-size: x-small;">(which we aren't allowed to paint),</span> so this gives me some <strong>hope</strong>. The look is so calming and natural without being too bland. I may just have to use this photo as a guide for decorating our living room. Who knows though, I'll probably find something else I like better before long. That's my problem, I <strong>cannot</strong> stick with one design.

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Hello everyone! Hope you are all having a fantastic day. Classes started back for me today, so I have been trying to get back into the swing of things all morning. So far, it seems like it is going to be a pretty easy semester, and my classes actually seem interesting this time! =) The hardest part for me will be making myself actually read my textbooks rather than fun books. I have recently began reading The Help, and I am hooked! It is such an amazing book.. the best one I have read in a while. If you haven't read it yet, I suggest you do!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I can't wait to see it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wanted to share with you the gifts that Matt and I gave some of our family this year for Christmas. I never have been very good at picking out original gifts for people, but this year I think we did a pretty good job. We wanted to give our family something that they would truly love and keep forever. Our parents are always asking for photos of us to put around the house, so we thought that would be the perfect gift. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A sorority sister of mine Shelby took some pictures of Matt and I the week before Christmas. She did such a wonderful job! She is very talented, and I cannot wait to see even more of her work in the future. You can view her portifolio <a href="http://www.wix.com/shelbytruitt/photography">here</a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We chose three different photos to give to our family, and our parents received two photos each. My grandparents were also given a photo. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I can't believe how much time has passed since my last post, but things have been hectic around here to say the least. Between being home for the holidays and spending time with family, I just have not had the opportunity to blog nor the energy. Also, Matt's grandfather passed away on New Year's Day, so things have been tough the past few days. Now Matt and I are back in South Carolina (at least for a few days)! My online classes start tomorrow, so hopefully getting back into a routine will help me to blog on a regular basis. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The holidays were great at my house! I am sad that they are over already, but we all had such a great time. I could not have asked for a better Christmas & New Year's. Below are a few pictures to give you a look into our Christmas celebration.</div><br />
