Hello Hello!
I know, I’ve been away for months and months… but I still love you, promise!
So, we’ve been in our new house since the beginning of March… about 5 months now, which is just crazy to think about. We were living with the bare minimum for a while there… sleeping on an air mattress and sitting on the floor because we couldn’t move any furniture in until we re-finished the floors. Thankfully that ended and we are now fully furnished. I definitely don’t miss sleeping on that air mattress. I graduated college with honors… and I’m really, really happy to be done. I’m sure some day in the near-ish future, I will miss my college days, but not yet.
I’ve been working at my usual jobs since graduation and doing more work on my company, Kelly MacIntyre Creative. I applied at a few different local news stations, but haven’t heard anything back. I’m not heart broken, I don’t really want to work in the news industry…. that’s just kind of what everyone expects me to do. I actually just got offered a full time position with full benefits at the place I’m currently working (I’ve been averaging about 33hr/week part time lately). So I’m pretty excited to get started on that… plus it will be a job that actually requires some thinking… unlike what I’ve been doing (pulling staples, copying, scanning… lather, rinse repeat). Pretty boring… PLUS, full benefits means I can finally get married and not have to worry about what’s going to happen to my health insurance.
I picked a date for my wedding. But I’m holding off on announcing it until after Mike’s sister’s wedding which is coming up very very soon! 9/10/11.
There is a new family member in my home, an adorable grey kitten named Misty… she’s been here for about 2.5 months now. She’s actually sitting in my lap right now. I think she’s really helping Ellie come out of her shell, too. Unfortunately, Jack wants to eat her… so we have to keep them separated.
Yesterday I filled my grandmother’s china cabinet with the china I inherited from my Meme, which was HER mother’s china, which makes that my great-grandmother’s china. My entire dining room is filled with heirlooms from both of my grandmas. The table and chairs belonged to my Meme… the very table I grew up eating at. And I have to say they all fit in there perfectly.
I’m sure there are plenty of other new things I could tell you about but that’s all I’m writing for now.
I promise I’ll try to get back in the swing of things and post more often!
