A Day Late, A Dollar Short

I am one day behind on writing my monthly blog post. Shame, shame, shame!

Why you ask am I so behind on my blogging? Because in the past month I have been a busy bee! Nate and I have moved into a place of our own (with A LOT of help from family and friends), which includes buying all new furniture and odds and ends and unpacking a WHOLE LOT of boxes, I got a new job, a new church calling, and we are just beginning to really get settled.

So you may be thinking that it doesn't sound like I was so busy that I could not have written a blog, but then that leads me to my next explanation... DISTRACTIONS!

Distraction One. 

A cork board map. I want to make one to plot N and I's adventures!

Because I have moved into the phase I call "nesting", I am ready to settle in and feel comfortable where I am at right now. Not stagnant of course, just sane. It's hard to explain, but when I do not feel settled into a place, I feel like I am living out of a suitcase just waiting for the next plane to arrive and take me away. Life is always taking us in different directions, but when you hop one too many planes, it makes you a little jet-lagged.

Hopefully the settled feeling will come soon, but in the mean time as I am trying to get the apartment in order, here is what I have been looking at...

Flowers or plants to give the apartment some life!

Something to fill the two giant vases in the living room.

Distraction Two. 

This dress is so BEAUTIFUL!

Kate Middleton fashion blog posts are my guilty pleasure. So sue me. After a long day at work, I like to dream of fashion designers who would make affordable, beautiful dresses that don't expose your entire body. Unfortunately, I can't bring myself to pay more than $30 for a nice dress so I will have to dream on. Celebrities can afford them however, and I would appreciate it if they would take a cue from the Duchess and buy a dress that covers their bum bums (and other body parts). I now get distracted constantly by a TV since I am right in front of one at work, and every day I think about how the woman HAVE to be flashing someone in the audience or at least one of the camera operators. Some don't sit very lady like and their dresses are not covering very much. Enough said.

 Distraction Three.

My boo.

That is right honey, you made it on the distraction list. Albeit you are my favorite out of the whole bunch.  Ever since I started working, I don't get to see much of Nate. He works nights and I work days. Most of our spare time is spent together. When you don't get to see much of someone, when you get the chance, you spend as much time as possible.

It's hard to believe we have been married for three and a half months already! They say time flies when you are having fun (and when you have a husband who does the bulk of the chores and has never complained about it once). Okay, so I actually don't know who says time flies when your husband does all the chores... but I'm sure someone has before, right?

Bottom line, I will be better this month. I will write at least one more post this month, and it may even be a thought producing one.
