Broken
OH dear it has been a while since I updated my blog. I have such big plans for this little blog and one day I will get it done! I will give you a brief update to my life.
1) I'm engaged!!! On New's Year Eve while in Winter Park my boyfriend of 3 years got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I kinda blacked out from excitement but got out the "yes" sound and then proceeded to dance!!! We set a date for July 21, 2012 which means I have been in wedding planning crazy mode for the last 2 months.
2) Its paper fashion show season. I have been working on the Paper Fashion show managing the design teams. It is an amazing event even though at times I want to pull my hair out it is all worth it. Check it out here www.adcd.com.
Then it all came crashing down... and I was forced to slow my ass down, literally. I broke my collar bone. Not just broke it but separated it and had to get a plate and 5 screws placed in my arm to put it back together.
This is the picture before the screws. Things that use to take me seconds now takes me minutes. I have been told the that "Universe always gives you what you need." I believe that Universe is God so I have been thinking why did I need this? Its not "oh why me, poor me" kinda question but rather what is the purpose of this annoyance? Here are some conclusions I've reached:
1) I needed to slow down. With all the wedding maddness and work and everything I really wasn't taking the time to enjoy being engaged! This is suppose to be fun right? Not stressful and a mad dash to get everything done. Designing my wedding invites and save the dates became another stress on my to do list instead of a soul searching experience to find a visual representation of Cody and I. Before I actually became engaged I looked at wedding blogs religiously dreaming of the invites that I would come up with for my wedding. Now that the time was here and I didn't want to even think about my wedding invites. The last two weeks since I moved at the pace of a turtle I really have had time to sit back and dig deep for my wedding invites.
2) I realized how poorly I used my time before. There was always tomorrow. I'll do it tomorrow, I'll start this project tomorrow. However tomorrow could leave you with only one working arm for a period of time. My goal/dream is life is become a successful surface/graphic designer. One of these projects included to start a line of tea towels and textiles. I have done nothing to start these, they just remain in my head. So since I've been on the couch for almost a week I realized why the "blank" didn't I start that before? I have the time but I wasn't making it. It's the same with this blog. I have such big dreams with this blog yet I haven't updated it in months!!!!!!! Taking a moment to sit back and think about things has really been eye opening.
3) Lastly, I need to start living in the moment and stop taking for granted the life I have. Its amazing how something as little as a broken arm can make you realize what you have.
Who knew being broken would put me back together?

DENVER!
Ya hi Thanksgiving! I can't believe I haven't blogged in so long. To say my life has been a bit crazy is an understatement. First things first ,I finally moved to Denver!!!!! Cody applied for a job on a Monday got hired by Thursday and within 2 weekends boom here we are! I have wanted to move to Denver for seriously as long as I can remember.... here is a pattern I made in college titled what else "Denver Dreamin."
A big chunk of my time has been to devoted to my new love Moxley. The BF and I have been talking about getting a dog for a long time but it was always a huge debate when we wanted one. We didn't want to get one and have it end up alone all the time. Well Cody came across these pictures of these adorable puppies for adoption and for some reason Cody had to go see them. Of course I agreed, I'm a girl I'm not going to turn down seeing puppies! And then I found him! The puppy we had come to see was being adopted by a family and this other little white yetti creature was running around by himself. When I held him I knew I had to have this dog. He also really needed a bath.
I also have been working on a lot of random side projects. Such as a lot of stuff trying to get my mom's etsy account going pictures, logo, the works! I also finally finished log book 2.0 which will get its very own post dedicated to it.
Gosh I have to much random ish to talk about! I really want to write a full on critique about how terrible Kristen Stewart is in the twlight movies or about this amazing pie I baked, but I'll spare you for now... until the Log Book Post... tootles
