It's a BeautifuLife

Lately, my life has seemed like a whirlwind. An "average" day has consisted of going in to work at 7:30, prepping for morning meetings, having morning meetings, prepping for afternoon meetings, having afternoon meetings. Then, when I should be leaving from work in an hour or so, I have to actually start my work so that the next days meetings can happen. I have been working until at least 6 or 7 and then being worn out and not wanting to do anything else. Sometimes I take my work home with me so that I can get it done. It seems crazy to think that I have only been in this job for 4 months because it just seems so much longer.
But don't think I am complaining... I love it. I am so grateful to have a job that I love and want to work extra hours. I feel so lucky to be in my hometown, which I love, and be with my family and close to my friends. Kyle and I are doing great and are finally on the same page. I know that I have said that so many times but I feel like it's finally true. And when the time is right we will be a family. :)
While I have never felt good at making friends, I have grown really close to the people that I work with and their families. Don't get me wrong, I have lots of friends. But I have always been shy and getting myself to open up to new people is hard. I have had it easy my whole life because in grade school, people sought me out to be my friend. I didn't have to look for them. And in college, I gained friends through 3 vices: Kyle, Phi Mu, and interior design classes. Kyle lived on campus so he made a lot of the close friends we have now through the dorms. Becoming a Phi Mu opened doors to so many things. I met wonderful, intelligent women with great morals. While my time with them was short, it has really helped me become the lady that I am. I will always be thankful to them for that opportunity. And lastly, the interior design program was so small, that it was impossible not to become friends with those in all my classes. Anyways, I digress. I have made great lasting friendships with my coworkers and bosses. And that makes it easy to love my job.
So this post has been a lot of blabbing and I need to restart my work day- came in at 7 this morning. Thought I owed it to myself to take 15 minutes to post.

I cannot believe that this month is already over half over! I feel
like it was Christmas just last week. And ringing in the new year
happened this past weekend. It's crazy!
So my current major project is apartment hunting. It's a bittersweat
process because while I'm definitely ready for a place to call mine
(or at least half mine), it's sad to be moving away from my
grandparents. I've lived with them for basically my whole life and
they do everything for me.
Okay, enough of the sentiments... I'm super excited to find a place. I
had my heart set on The Bob, which is the new apartments going into
the old Roberts Hotel. Too bad it's about twice as much as I can
afford. But it's a college town and I am not giving up! I'm going to
be living with Ashleigh or maybe Emily. It all depends on what happens
for them after graduation. I hope that they can both land awesome jobs
and I know that they will. I just hope that they are in Muncie! ;)
Lately when Kyle and I are bored we look up jokes online. It sounds
pretty lame but we can crack up for hours and just take it easy.
Usually we look up a couple until we find one that we can't stop
laughing at then we stop and randomly one of us will repeat part of
the joke and we can't stop laughing again. Here's our most recent
hilarious find...
One day a man was walking past a mental hospital when he heard moaning
coming from inside saying "13...13...13...13...". The man saw a hole
in the wall so he peeked in and got his eye poked. The moaning voice
groaned "14...14...14...14...".
Hahahaha... Funny stuff. #

Holiday Prep

Work has been so unbelievably busy lately. I have been working on a healthcare project mostly but on Friday everyone from the office (all five of us lol) went to a credit union we are doing and unloaded 3 semi-trucks of furniture. This is not normally the type of job we do but I guess we were getting a good deal on it. Unloading three trucks in one day itself is pretty crazy but it was also only 15 degrees and snowing for half of the day. Talk about crazy.

Christmas decorating as also been a big thing lately. Another, project we do not normally do but it was for clients we are working with now anyways, so we just added it to our duties. It was insane. Our office also had to be decorated for our open house that we had during First Thursday, that is an artsy event in downtown Muncie the first thursday (how cleaver a name) of every month. It was a fun event.

Kyle and I went to the Christmas tree lighting down at Circle Center. Here are some pictures!

We ran into Katie and Molly! It was good to see them.

My life now consists of lots of planning. Planning for Kyle's birthday, planning Christmas parties, planning New Years Eve party, planning for the trip to the GMAC Bowl. All fun things!!!

RLR at Doc's

Here are photo's from Red Light Remedy. There are a couple that were taken at a different venue, different night...

Impatient for a LONG Time

I have always considered myself a patient person. But I have realized that I'm not. I am just impatient for a long time. I think that there are similarities. For example, when one is patient, they are waiting for something to happen. When one is impatient for a long time, they are also waiting for something.

The fax machine in our office makes a very loud knocking noise and is quite distracting. And annoying.

Going to see Red Light Remedy tonight at Doc's on Dill!!!! Wah-hoo :) I'll put pictures up tomorrow.
