Time.

Y'all!

It has been forever!

I am so sorry that I feel off the face of the earth.

Life has been so crazy these past few months and have no chances of slowing down any time soon. 

Ryan and I are moving into our new home today!

Those of you who don't know, Ryan and I have lived with his parents since we got married back in December.

Back in November when we made the decision to move in with them to save money and get on our feet.

{Best decision EVER!}

 I was so nervous about the whole thing since I am very independent and love my space, so having to move in with my hubs and his parents was going to prove to be a very challenging season. But, let me tell you, it has been beyond a blessing.

Ryan's family have opened their arms to me. Having such loving people around all the time is quite frankly amazing!

With that said, I could not be more excited about moving into our little 1 bedroom apartment tonight. We have been shopping so much lately and I finally went through all of our wedding presents last Saturday evening, and I cant wait to open those babies and get to using them all!

It is all so EXCITING!!!

So, with all that said, wish me luck as I unpack our life over the weekend.

I promise to try and get back into the swing of writing, I sure do miss it.

Look for some sneak peaks of the place soon.

I can't wait to show you guys!

Much love,

Britt

Overrated!

Sometimes I just forget about blogging to be honest with you.

I started my new job last week and I've been so busy at work learning things, getting things together, that I haven't even thought about blogging, not even once. 

Isn't that so bad?

I used to love wasting away my time at work writing on this sweet blog of mine, and now I am so busy at work that I could care less. Then, when I get home, all I want to do is hang out with the hubs and decompress from the day, that I rarely even pick up my computer. 

IM A TERRIBLE BLOGGER.

For now though, thats okay with me. 

 

New.

I love NEW things.

I love NEW dresses.

I love NEW weather.

I love NEW weeks.

I love NEW jobs.

Life is just grand whenver things are NEW.

Somtimes NEW scares me.

Walking into something unexpected, not knowing how to do something, having to learn.

The 'What If's" get to me.

What if I dont get along with the people?

What if they dont like me?

What if Im not good enough for the job?

What if I can't learn fast enoough?

These things tend to overwhelm most people, but me, I just let them get to me and then roll 'em off my shoulders.

You can't let those things get to you or you will go crazy.

So, yesterday, I started my new job.

I LOVE IT!!!!

Here are the perks:

-It takes me 20-30 minutes to get to work and home. (Opposed to the hour-2 hours before)

-I get to work with 3 other GODLY women. (Just us 4 in here, and I love it!)

-I am busy and productive. (unlike my old job)

-I get to listen to Jesus music all day.

God is good and has provided me with a wonderful place to be.

I am so amazed by Him.

I love my Jesus. :)

Love you people!

Britt

Writing for me!

Sometimes I get discouraged when I write and no one responds. 

Then, I realize, and remember, that I started this blog for me. 

Not you, not her, not him, not them...but me. 

I do love to get comments and responses from others, but at the end of the day, I do what I do, for me. 

So, take that. 

Now that I sound like an uuber jerk, and selfish...I shall quit. 

In other news, I have something very exciting to tell you!

I GOT THE JOB!!!!

I am so so so excited to start this new journey. 

Ryan and I have been praying that the Lord would work something out for me to be closer to home, and look what He did!

Its a little less money than I am currently making, but I know in the end this will be the best fit for me. 

(I am wanting to be with this company for a very very very long time, like I want to stay with this company and not move any more unless I have kids and can stay home with them.)

Praise the Lord!

I start the Monday after my last day here at Meeks, which means I won't go a day without a job. 

WOOHOO!!!

God is good!

I painted my finger nails and toes last night. 

They look purdy, don't they?

Nude pink. 

Yeah, just thought  you should know. 

I'm looking a lot like I'm ready for summer today. 

Yellow sundress, Kelley green sweater, coral necklace. 

Yeah,

I love color. 

 

The love of my life is taking me to dinner tonight to celebrate the job. 

Such a cutie!

I cant help but share this picture from our engagement. It was one of the best nights of my life. 

Isn't he a total babe?

I encourage all of you, if you are married/plan on getting married one day, keep date nights a regular event in your household. 

They do wonders for your marriage and self esteem. 

Alrighty, I feel like all of my posts are random and all over the place. 

Love you people!

Britt

M.I.A

I know, I know...

I was on such a roll there for a while, and then all of a sudden, I disappeared. 

Last time we "spoke",  I was heading to Dallas to spend the weekend with my 3 best girl friends. 

Guess what?

That didn't happen. 

I drove to Camp after work that Friday, Jennie and I hopped in her car and started driving in some crazy thunderstorm rain. About an hour into our drive, we realized her car was leaking water into the passengers side. 

So, we turned around, went and got Mexican food, watched movies and went to bed. 

(I ended up coming home at about 10am on Saturday morning. 

I was pretty bummed it didn't work out, but all in all, it was fun to see one of the three friends and fun to come home and hang out with my sweet husband.)

Some of the other things happening in our lives lately:

1.We have been shopping a lot. 

We have bought pillows for our bed, end tables, a TV and an TV stand. Lots of money, lots of time, lots of energy, lots of working togetherness. 

(This has been quite the marriage building exercise.)

2.Our niece, Kalynn had surgery on her kidneys last Friday. 

Please keep her recovery in your prayers. Sweet girl has suffered since she was a wee little baby with bladder infections and UTI's. She is only 2, so this was a big surgery. She's doing great though!

3. We spent a fabulous 3 days in Brenham this past weekend. 

It was so wonderful to be with my grandparents all weekend. We had good Mama J. homecooking, we antiqued, and talked a whole lot. It was great to catch up with them. They are so wise and so encouraging. I am the luckiest girl in the world to have such a wonderful relationship with my grandparents. I don't know what I would do without them

4. We actually finished our dresser project. 

Before

After

I love how it turned out and all credit is due to my sweet hubs. 

Ryan did this project all by himself. 

He even picked out the colors. 

(We were originally going to go with a robins egg blue, but decided last minute that since I change my mind so often with everything, we should go with a more neutral color.)

 It looks beautiful!

5. Interviewing

About a month ago, I let my boss know that I was looking for a new job on the side of town I live in. 

The hour, sometimes 2 hour,drive to work and the same back home, is getting very old. 

Right now we are spending about $500 in gas on just my car alone. 

That's not okay people.

 So, I have been interviewing for one job, and I have done 4 interviews. My last one was today.

 I should find out today or tomorrow if I got the job. I'm hoping that I did! I really want it and my last day here at the current job is next Friday. 

EEK!!

So, with that all said, we are doing great! We are both a little emotionally overwhelmed with me possibly not having a job for a little bit, but we are trusting God that He will take care of us and we know that He's got a plan. 

Hope you all are doing great!

Sorry I disappeared. 

I needed some alone time. 

:)

-love-

Britt

Its friday! Friday! FRIDAY!

I may or may not be in love with Friday's. 

They are definitely the best day of the week. 

Why do I think this? 

Because...

a. Everyone seems to be in a great mood!

b. The weekend usually involves lots of cuddle time with the Mr. 

c. I get to clean and catch up on everything I ran out of time to do during the week. 

d. All of the above.

Did you guess d.? 

Ding! Ding! Ding! 

We have a winner!

I do love all those things about Friday, even the cleaning one. 

I know, I am very weird, but cleaning and organizing are high on my list of favorites. :)

The only sad part about this weekend is, I will be away from the Mr. for the first time since we got married 3 months ago. 

We haven't spent a single night apart from each other since our wedding night, and I am oh so sad to be with out him all weekend. 

BUT.......

I will be with my 3 best girl friends all weekend long!

So, I thought I would overload you with a ton of pictures of us 4 over the past 5 years! 

Here ya go:

Love Love Love my friends!

I am so blessed to have these girls in my life still. 

Hope you people have a wonderful weekend! enjoy whatever weather you are going to have.

We are going to have lots of rain! YIPPEE!

YUM!

Love,

Britt
