i have successfully painted my bedroom and re-decorated it
it went from a very overwhelming aqua color from middle school
to a pale yellow.
i took out one of the two twin beds
and re-arranged the furniture
i am still in the process of hanging up art and decorations
but i am hoping to complete that today
as for the other goals: i am running a race in a city nearby for breast cancer in october
i haven't started knitting yet, which is unfortunate
i have baked pumpkin bread and pumpkin scones
the bread was fabulous. the scones however, were a flop
i need a better recipe
but i don't have pictures
seeing as my nikon lens broke and i don't have money to replace it
this is probably the saddest thing that has happened in a while
and as for volunteering at an orphanage, that has yet to happen
however, i am most likely going to nicaragua in the spring
and i hope to be working with orphans and children in general there
lately i am enjoying things such as:
- our new public library. the old one we had since before I was born and it was never re-decorated or re-vamped which made it smell old and the same librarian is still ringing up the books. while there is something quaint about this, it's not that picturesque
but we have a brand new library, and its lovely
- working out at my new place of business. i work at the ymca as the parents morning out director and while it can be tiring working with kids, i am enjoying it. but getting to workout there for free is awesome. getting hit on by 60 yr old men named Al however, is not.
- the fall weather. i know that I have already stated this several times lately but fall is my favorite season of all seasons. mostly because i like the changing of leaves and the crisp cool air. but i love all that comes with fall such as: beanies, scarves, sweaters, pumpkin pie, actually everything pumpkin like candles and goodies. lately i have been driving with my windows down and i could easily fall in love during fall.
while i was a little upset about moving home after having lived by myself for four years and graduated college, it actually has been good for me. enjoy family while you can because growing up has a lot more responsibility than i think we all realize at certain times of our lives.
oh, i'm going to ministry school now. it's just what i need and God's love is so sweet.
off to drink some french press coffee and read outside in the cool fall morning weather. mmm.
