A whirlwind weekend.

This weekend was crazy! My sister-in-law and brother-in-law came in town this weekend from St. Louis, so it was great to spend time with them! Saturday morning I graduated!!!! That was a HUGE relief!! Then we celebrated my graduation and the May birthdays in the family last night. Today was Mother's Day of course, so we spent some time with our mommies today. Whew, we were sure busy!!

Friday we leave for Colorado!!! No real plans....if anyone has any ideas of stuff to do or places to eat at in the Denver-ish area, leave me a comment!!!

Sick day : (

Brian is sick today, which is a bummer....

I spent today at home cleaning the house. It is so not my forte, but I am learning. I have a Martha Stewart in me somewhere!

In my abundance of free time lately, I have found two awesome websites!

One is www.apartmenttherapy.com
It is FILLED with inspiration for modern design. I LOVE it!



I love the simplicity and color of this kitchen!!


Oh, so much I could show you....you need to check it out!

ANOTHER great site is www.unclutterer.com ....they have GREAT tips to keep your home and life clutter-free.

In case you don't see a theme, I LOVE modern and simple living....I just have a hard time with it. How ironic, and natural clutter bug who LOVES clean, modern lines and design. What a conflict!

I hope the mod design diva wins!!!

Time to update this thing....

Well, lots has happened lately with the Mr. and Mrs.

First, I got hired to teach elementary music in the fall in the district that I wanted. That was a huge blessing!!!
Secondly, I graduate this coming Saturday!!!! Finally!!!
Thirdly, Brian decided to go back to school to pursue a degree in Art Education at UCM. I am so excited for him! We kid about how we are going to be 'that hippie couple' who teach 'art and music'. I think it's awesome! And the schedule will be amazing...summers off together!!
Fourthly, we got a new car! My car got totalled due to hail damage, so we got a 2005 Scion Xb off of craigslist. Oh how I love craigslist.....

Heres a pic:



I have gotten a new found passion for modern design....maybe with the stress of college gone....
Anyways, I have been LOVING apartmenttherapy.com as well as Made by Girl's blog.

I'll post pics of new projects on the house soon!
