Changes

It seems like there are a ton of changes coming all along in one big swoop. My parents will be moving out of the place I have called home for almost 23 years. I will be getting married and managing a home of my own. My brother will be back after a long absense. And there are almost 2 new babies in my family that I am so excited about. It is getting down to the last 3 weeks of school and I am feeling the chaos coming on quick. I feel like this semester has flown by so fast. We have 81 days until the wedding and in about 24 days I will be moving into the house that James and I will call home for the next year. I am so excited and in no way at all upset about leaving my apartment. It is an old friend that I feel I can let go of and never see again. It helps even better when my dear apartment decides to flood not once but twice, leaving me with a big mess to clean up and wet carpet.

When I first moved into this apartment, I knew it was an older, beat up place, but in the last two years it has really gotten to be an eyesore. It is no longer a semi-safe place and I live under complete dysfunction. Every time I am home I can hear (clearly) the craziness of the people upstairs and I witness their drug deals all the time. Needless to say, packing my stuff this week has been more of a joy than a chore. I have all of our shower gifts packed up and ready to go as well. I can't wait to get in our new place and set everything out. 

During my spring break I painted some furniture that will go into our home. This is my project that I was able to get done.

The table was bought at a garage sale for $5 (I think). I sanded and painted it a soft white. I bought the lamp yesterday at Goodwill for $3. I love it! It will look so good once it is in our home, next to our new couch that we will hopefully purchase in a couple of weeks. It will be here before you know it. Time moves so fast and changes are a' comin'! I can't wait!
