Weekend Update

  
  

Fabric for Halloween costumes.  I guess that means I need to start sewing** Not sure if I should be offended by Art Teacher Barbie or not. Apparently all we like to do is paint pictures of flowers and cats** My good friends Allison wearing my new birdcage veil** Charcoal drawing is messy.  Currently grad school is kicking my ass** Early morning drawing time outside with my drawing class** Super adorable Rachel and Aubrey 


Every time I am pretty sure that life can't get any busier it does. I don't think anyone told me when I was a kid how fast life is going to speed up when you become an adult.  This morning I spent some extra time laying in bed gazing out the window and enjoying the stillness of the early morning.  Today I have to finish a drawing, start another one, go back and pick up the thread I forgot at the fabric store yesterday, go to the grocery store and if the weather clears we were talking about going to the pumpkin patch.  The house cleaning is just going to be ignored and I am perfectly okay with that.  I have been making sure to take a few minutes here and there to just sit and I have been spending some time just listening to music which I probably haven't done since I was a teenager.  Here are some songs from my fall playlist


Loving this song and video for Cruel by St. Vincent.  I think she might be my new favorite artist.

Saturday Morning

There is really nothing like Saturday morning.  Its so nice to sit around and enjoy the quiet instead of rushing out of the house to go to work. I usually wake up before Bradley so I have the house to myself.  I try and use this time to catch up on my internet browsing, laundry, and taking care of my plants around my house.

So on to the more exciting news!  I think we have a house!  Our townhouse that is.  Our offer was accepted by the buyer so this week I have been running around trying to get everything in order.  Luckily we had already met with our mortgage lender but this week we had the inspection and I had to visit a real estate lawyer since we are buying this house "for sale by owner".  This is another townhouse for sale in the cul-da-sac.  Ours is the mirror opposite with a more updated kitchen.  The best part is my parents are 3 houses down and one of my best friends, Brittany, is 5 houses down.  My dad has already started calling it the commune.  Its not what we originally set out to buy but it is probably the best move we could have made.  It is big enough to start a family in, I have a built in babysitter a.k.a mom, and it is close to the college campus so eventually we will turn it into a rental.  Isn't it fun being an adult? Its hard to believe I have actually made it to this point.  I really never thought I would.  I feel so grown up and responsible. Its kind of awkward.   

Now that everything is moving along my mind has now switched over to decorating mode.  Its probably a little early but I just can't help myself!  The thought of painting walls whatever color I want just makes me giddy on the inside.    These are the colors I have playing around with although I just got a funny look from Bradley over the purple.  I really just want to paint various shades of grey with pops of color and pattern here and there. 

Who knows.  I will probably change my mind tomorrow but it is good to start thinking of these things, right? Also there is an Ikea opening up in Denver this fall.  I have a feeling that we are going to be spending a lot of time there.
