House Tour: Part 1

At the beginning of the month, Daniel and I signed a lease for our first house together. We were able to move in right away, which was very nice after living in the Navy Gateway hotel for 12 days. Moving and loading/unloading the truck was the worst; however, unpacking our boxes in our new home was the best! I’m slowly getting everything put together, so these next few posts will be a series of “our new home, room-by-room.” I’ll try to post every Wednesday so keep an eye out for the rest of the tour. For today: the master bedroom and my closet (we have four closets so I’m going to feature one of the four).
The bedroom is a bit small, but has enough room for our bed and nightstands. Yes, those are Build-A-Bears that Daniel and I made for each other: “Jedi Steve” and “Princess Lillie.” The cubes that we use as night stands are actually from Walmart. They are made with strong composite wood and t-design which makes for a sturdy structure. They also look very nice. We chose the espresso finish because we found that it goes well with any color of bedspread.
While attending college at WSU, I purchased this New York City canvas print from Ross. Since it has traveled with me from Pullman to Spokane and now to Florida, it was the first picture to be hung in our new home here, in Florida.
The little details – pajamas // nail polish on a cake stand // shoebox full of electronic chargers // Lauree bag from a family trip to New York City // jewelry box // Build-A-Bear
One of the best parts of our bedroom: a walk-in closet. I’ve never had a walk-in closet so this is pretty amazing to me. On the left, I hung all of my work pants and skirts; in the middle, I have color and season coordinated the clothes; on the right, there are more of my work clothes and Daniel’s uniforms. I definitely have a “Pacific Northwest” closet with neutral colors. What can I say? Once a Washingtonian, always a Washingtonian. (: However, that being said, I am slowly adding some “Southern” personality to my closet.
While I was wandering through Target (one of my favorite pastimes), I found these really cool hangers. I love them because I can hang my favorite pairs of shorts and hook them together so they don’t occupy much room in my closet. These will also work well for work pants so I will be making another trip to Target soon!
Finally, in the corner I have my dresses and a few sweatshirts. I left most of the sweatshirts boxed-up since I will rarely need them here but I did pull out my favorites to hang up.
Well, I hope y’all enjoyed the first of my house tour! Let me know, in the Comments section, if you want to see anything else in the bedroom/closet. Check back next Wednesday for the next episode. Until then, have a good week!
Class of 2016
Monday, April 11 • adventure, attire, college, fashion, michael kors, photography, round up, student
This past weekend, my mom got to come down for Mom's Weekend so we took a few graduation photos! For those of you who don't know, I will be graduating in May with my bachelors in Accounting. I will also be graduating with 154 credits and will be eligible to take the CPA exam. Most people don't accomplish 150 credits in 4 years but since I changed my major (from Bioengineering) and put in 4 summers, I am happy to say I'm CPA eligible! Anywho, here are some of the grad photos we took (:
Congratulations to all of the other 2016 grads too! We made it!

Life Update
Sunday, March 27
Hi friends! I wanted to give you a quick life update because everything has been so crazy lately and I just want to let y'all know what has been going on.
Back in February, I received the unfortunate news that the last class I needed to take to graduate had been canceled. There is another class I can take in it's place but there is one prerequisite class that I will be taking over the summer. Originally I was told that I would have to graduate in December of 2016, which I had come to terms with. However, I decided to try and see if I could take the two required courses together even though one is a prerequisite. After 2 months of speaking with my advisor and hearing no news (or news I didn't want to hear), I finally wrote a letter to the associate dean of students and department chair of the business school. Within 24 hours, I got a reply that said he approved me to take the classes together! So, after 2 months of confusion, I will officially be graduating on August 14th with my bachelors degree in Accounting!
As many of you know, I will be marrying Daniel in September of 2016! Since we will be super busy after the wedding we have decided to move before then. At the end of May, we will be: renting a moving van, packing up all of my stuff and some stuff he has in Spokane, and driving all the way down south! We are not sure at this point where we will be stationed because he is still finishing up flight training and has not yet received his airframe. I will keep Facebook updated when he gets assigned an airframe because I will be so happy for him!
I also wanted to add a little note about how my faith has gotten so much stronger through these past few months. I have realized that I can't control everything and even if my life plan is perfect, everything can fall apart in the blink of an eye. I prayed to God endlessly and with his help, put my life plan back together. I know that as long as I have God, Daniel, family, dreams and goals, I can make it through everything!
Proverbs 19:21 - you can make plans, but the Lord's purpose will prevail.
So that is a little life update for those of you who weren't totally sure what was going on. Right now I am prepping for the multitude of exams I have during this last month, working and getting excited for everything the future has to offer!
