Good things are happening!

So don't judge the fact that I've been too lazy busy to post on this. But I'm excited for this post because it's filled with a lot of good things that are happening. But to kinda recap before I get to the really good stuff, a lot of fun things happened. 

My on of my best friends since elementary (Marissa) is pregnant! Which is crazy to me! But so exciting, so me and my other best friend Natalie threw her a baby shower! Heres a couple shots of the brunch food from that day. 



Next... bah bah ba! I graduated! 


I was extremely happy, as if you couldn't tell from the photograph. I got my Bachelor of Fine Arts (before you judge my artsy fartsy degree know this...) with an emphasis in Graphic Design. I love my major. I get to be creative and have an amazing job while I do it. 

In case you didn't know, I am currently working part time at a Design Agency called Rain. They're located in American Fork. It has been awesome. They focus on interactive design, like web design and iphone applications. It's pretty great! I was also working at AMP Security, I have been there for ages and last week I decided it was time to be done. So I walked into my bosses office and gave him my two weeks. It was actually a really bitter sweet feeling, I was excited to move on, but it's been great while it lasted and I will miss the people there. 

So, there was some unknown after I quit about what would happen in 2 months when my contract ended with Rain. Unknown job status makes me really nervous... fortunately about 3 hours after I quit my job I got a call from a previous co-worker and he put his boss on the phone. He offered me a job as their Graphic Designer starting as soon as possible. So, being excited about this opportunity, I took it! So, starting this week I will be a part time graphic designer for The Color Run and will move to full time status when my contract at Rain ends. And if Rain wants to renew my contract, then I'll have a choice to make. :)

Also, on this post... 
Jake and I have been dying for a dining table. We have had a small little desk with no chairs that has been sitting in the space fo where our dining table should go, so this weekend after months of searching on KSL for the perfect table, I decided that I was going to make one. I wanted it modern of course and to fit in with the rest of my industrial look going on in our house... and voila. Here is is. 


Honestly, I'm obsessed. I am so happy with how it turned out. (I found the chairs on ksl for $30 for both) and couldn't be happier with the juxtaposition of the pieces. It completes my space so well. I can't wait to find an awesome center piece for it. I also have a project coming up where I am going to be making a dining bench for the other side. 



On another great note, my sweet husband bought me this poang chair from ikea. I'm pretty sure it's the coolest, most comfortable chair I have ever had in my life. We decided we like it so much that were going to sell our red ikea couch and replace it with two poang chairs. We're excited. I'm almost completely done with my front room. I'll have to post pictures when we're all done. :D
