Fall Semester Update

The months that have gone by since September have just kind of been a huge whirlwind. I was going over the final in my class, and I could hardly believe I only have 2 weeks left to teach before the end of the semester. I haven't given much of an update this semester, so here are some brief updates. 

We moved into our new apartment back at the end of August, and I have been trying to spruce it up since we moved in! I stumbled across this lovely little table on Rexburg Garage Sale and figured white coat of paint would do the trick. As I learned from Centsational Girl (my favorite online decor blog), a fresh coat of white paint is pretty much the cure for any sad furniture, and so it holds true. 

Side note- I stumbled across Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint about a year ago and was dying to paint it with a white chalk paint, but I wasn't about to spend $60 on a can of paint. So if you do have the $60 to spare, I highly suggest using Annie Sloan's chalk paint. 

 Along with painting furniture, I also whipped up curtains for our family room. There is this wonderful home fabric store close by with highly discounted fabrics (like $3/yd for home fabrics). I would go in periodically to browse over the course of about two months hoping something would scream at me. I am a very hesitant seamstress because it's hard for me to picture the final product. One day I finally just decided I had to pick fabric, and I felt like the final product turned out quite lovely.

My sister and her husband moved up to Idaho in September, and so over the course of a few months we have been helping them paint and clean up their yard. Their house turned out absolutely adorable, and Natalie did such a good job picking out paint colors! I am a big fan of color, but nothing that goes out of style or gives the room weird vibes (like obnoxious yellows). You can see her final tour, here.

We have been spending a lot of time with Nat & Mark since they live so close, and chances are we are going to be moving across the country in 7 months. It has been a loads of fun living 5 minutes away from them, especially since Nat and I were always so close growing up. 3 cheers for built in best friends. Nat is a better blogger than I am, so if you want better updates on adventures with them, you can find them here (thanks, Nat :)

Emerson absolutely adores Robert, it's pretty cute. Every time I come over without Robert he looks at me and then runs to the door, points and says "Robbob" or "Bob"? Or he grabs my phone and want to look at pictures of Robert. The guy is going to be a pretty good Pediatrician (a non biased opinion).

Speaking of medicine stuff- Robert has had two interviews so far, and they both went pretty well (according to Robert). He finds out about the schools sometime between Dec 15-Jan 15 and still has 13 other schools to hear from. So things are chugging a long.

And, that's a wrap.
