movin' on up...

well... it's finally time for some good news! :) my sister and i got approved for an apartment in chatt town! it's actually a cozy little old house split into sectioned apartments... moving day is THIS saturday so i've got lots of packing and planning to finish up this week!! i'm super excited! planning new things for new spaces is enough to fill all of my shower thinking time and pillow talk time! haha! :) along with the packing, i've applied and been approved for financial aid, and have applied and been accepted to chatt state! so, if i can get transcripts/immunization records sent fast enough, i may be able to start fall semester at the end of the month! i'm thinking i may go towards a business degree and own my own business ..can't say i've ever been much for working for anyone else.. heh ;)

anyway! i've filled so much of my head with ideas for the new apartment, so i figure i'll share here to get it all out somewhere! your welcome! haha! :D

first! paint color! we're allowed to paint as long as we don't go crazy, so i'm definitely taking the opportunity to find my perfect color! i'm thinking a brownish-grayish-taupe... like this--


and for bedding, i'll have a "full" size futon for my room, so i think i'll just put a comforter over that and toss tons of pillows on it and call it a bed :) i think this aqua-teal color will be gorgeous with the wall color! i have two big black and white zebra throw pillows, a few black throw pillows and some other neutral ones i think will be adorable! this comforter set has already been ordered from target, so hopefully it'll be shipped up to tennessee before i arrive!


desk area.. if you know me, you know my obsession with all things nail polish! i paint my nails once or twice a week, and having a clean area with a bright lamp is a must for me! :) jake and i went to walmart and picked up this simple little "writing table" for under 40 bucks! i'm excited to stack a few books, add a lamp and cute picture frame and set this baby right in front of the double window in my new room!


and of course i couldn't leave out my sweet bailey jane :) she got some new doggie food bowls and a place mat from walmart to match our new style!! i'm also on the hunt for a purple collar and leash for her, but haven't found one i love enough yet, ha... anyway, i thought these bowls were almost as precious as she is!! :) and no, cute yorkie baby does not come with! lol


lastly, i finally ordered a jewelry box from amazon with the last of my birthday gift card from my sister! since i'll be mixing wood furniture with black accents in my room, i figured i might as well go all out eclectic and mix with black and white accents so it'll look purposely done instead of unfortunately mismatched, ha :) for under $20, i'm guessing this is a little on the smaller side, but i've been looking for a white jewelry box all over, and this is the best you can get unless you want to spend $200 on a jewelry armoire ..which isn't quite necessary for me yet! lol


so that's what's been going on so far... hopefully i'll be able to get the painting and setup done pretty quickly so i can post pictures or something! ...on that note, i guess i'll share another idea of mine... again if you know me, you know i'm pretty obsessed with the youtube "beauty community", if you don't know what that is, it's just a bunch of random girls all over the world who film all kinds of videos, tutorials, tips and tricks relating to beauty, hair, makeup and fashion.. a bunch of the girls film "vlog" videos for a second channel and include day to day activities that may be interesting, shopping trips, home projects, etc etc... since i'll be moving away from my boyfriend and very best friends, i thought maybe it would be fun to try to film day to day videos of what's going on in volunteer country! mainly so jake can watch and be updated and see my purty face every day :) haha!! ...but seriously... lol, anyway, if i ever do get that up and rolling, i'll share links on my blog, for sure! let me know if you'd be interested or have any other ideas of how to keep in touch..??

whew! that was a lot... thank youins for reading! ...gotta get that lingo down ;) hehe!!
