Living at the Condo

So I told you I would post pictures of my condo now that everything is unpacked and everything is pretty lived in around here. I am absolutely loving it here. It's a really nice place, and I am sharing it with a girl who is pretty cool :) So here are the pics.

So this is a quote wall. I figured i'd use my favorite quotes from pinterest. This is just the beginning, I plan on adding a lot more to this wall through out the year :)


These three frames have my favorite quotes. "Enjoy the little things." "Don't complain; just work harder." "You decide every moment of every day: who you are and what you believe in. You get a second chance every second."


My bulletin board. Just some favorite memories. And another one of my favorite quotes by Bob Marley. Wake up and live.


Framed fabric above my bed. It matches my quilt.


More pictures.


My favorite temple. Put on the wall right in front of my face when I walk in my room. I can't walk into my room with out thinking of the temple :)


Organizing my purse/jacket/work stuff and my keys. Now they should never ever ever get lost.


Just a view of my bed and night stand area. I like blue/green/white. Can you tell?


The view of my desk, dresser area. I don't like how those things are organized yet. I am working on it.


So these pictures are on a wall in my bathroom. I don't know why, but I am gonna rock the superhero theme in my bathroom.


Me and Alex painted canvases with some awesome quotes before we moved in. This one is next to the front door in our living room. I love this one the most I think.


Wizard of Oz canvas and an inspirational scripture. Also in the living room.


K&A for Katie and Alex. Take note of our impressive movie collection. We have some of the best movies out there. Boo ya.


Love these wall decals in the dining area. Live well, laugh often, love much.


Love this quote right by our kitchen table. Such a cute one.


Pajamas all day, on a wall in our kitchen.


And I had to add this picture to our fridge. It makes me laugh. It says "You're fat. Don't try and sugar coat it because you'll eat that too." Also, that One Direction magnet is Alex's. Not mine.


So there's a look into my crib! Hope you like it. I think i'll stay. I love it here :)

Making Changes

So I feel like I have had a lot going on in my life lately. And I wouldn't necessarily say that I have a lot of things that I need to get done, but there is a lot of stuff going on that is in my head. Does that make sense? My mind is so busy with so many different things. 

I have been thinking a lot about where I am at with things. I am not where I want to be. I have slipped up in several areas. And all those different areas being neglected has taken a very negative toll on my life. I won't go into details, but I will just say that I have noticed that I need to make a lot of changes. A lot of habits need to be broken, and new habits need to be formed. 

I have tried for a little while to change, but I was just struggling with finding an effective way to do it. I admit I got frustrated and gave up for awhile. I have talked to a lot of people about this and I got a lot of good ideas that will help. A good friend of mine said that you need to do it a little at a time. Make a daily covenant with God to change something. Like a goal, only better. So that is what I am doing. I have been working on one thing today, and I noticed that as I worked on that one thing, some of the other things I was doing started to change as well. I know that as long as I am covenanting with God, I can do this. He is there for me. I have friends and family who support me. 

Life is great, and I am doing everything I can to make sure that I enjoy ever minute of it. One of my favorite quotes is from Bob Marley and he says, "Wake up and Live." Live life to the fullest baby.

I'm Alive

Well it's been awhile since posting on this thing! I completely forgot that I used to blog...So i'll just give a little update on what's on the hip hap lately.

A couple of weeks ago I moved into a condo with my friend. I am really enjoying it so far. We have already come across several challenges, but that is kind of what happens when you first move in. You find all the problems, and then you fix them. I will post pictures later probably. But right now, it's a Sunday evening and i don't feel like doing anything :) I am enjoying the comfort of blogging from my bed.

I have been working a lot of hours lately. I almost feel burnt out, but I will keep going :) It's a good job. I am thankful for it. I have made a lot of really good friends that have changed my life for the better. That's for sure. I am most comfortable talking with them about my life than anyone else. And they are complete dorks just like myself. You can't replace people like that ;)

And the weather is FINALLY starting to cool down a little! The leaves are beginning to change. Fall is almost here! It is the best season. I am pretty thrilled about this.

That's about all i've got to say right now. I will try my best to remember to blog more regularly. Just letting you know that I am still alive and well. Until next time, enjoy my new favorite quote. I'm adopting it as my life motto at the moment.
