Amazing Views

We've finally made the decision to stick it our in our little apartment for at least another year. We'd really like to save some more cash and have a little more time to settle into our current surrounding before we go off and make a big purchase like a home. So, I've been working on making our little space as homey as possible. I've even started decorating our screened in porch that I love so much. I've added some nice out door furniture and beautiful plants to accent the look. My next shopping search is going to be focused on finding some patio planters to add to my tropical look.  The porch is really coming together nicely and I'm so pleased with my progress.

Busy Times Ahead

The next month is going to be just crazy with things to accomplish. Starting in a few weeks we have plans to head on up to Orlando to visit some friends and then hit one of the Disney water parks. We are all really looking forward to our mini-vacation. A few weeks after that trip is our little girls first holy communion. It's a big deal if your preferred religion is catholic. We've got tons of family and friends coming in for the week and I'm really looking forward to spending time and catching up with everyone. I've still been looking for a job. It's been frustrating, but I'm trying to keep my chin up and roll with the punches. I've got a big test coming up to get into our local school district. I've decided that finding a job that works with my little girls school schedule is going to be the best option for all of us. I feel confident that I'll do great on the test, but I still have a few jitters. Wish me luck.

Music Calms The Soul

The past few weeks I've had some free time to catch up with listening to all of my favorite music. I forgot how music always calms my soul. It puts me in such a state of relaxation. I came across this great media player vlc free download.  It's so easy to use and the best part is that it's free.  I've been using my little laptop and listening to all of my favorite tunes.  My daughter has even been joining in on the fun.  Last night we had our own little dance party in the living room and listened to all her favorite kids songs.  Music always brings such happiness to ones life and I love sharing it with my little gal.

Volunteering Is So Rewarding

Things have been slow with the job search lately, so I decided to volunteer at my little ones school. A few weeks ago I had my first day and boy did I have a great time. Yesterday I volunteered for a field trip and it was so much fun spending the day getting to know my daughters classmates. They're such a great bunch of kids. We all had an amazing day. I was asked to run their school store every other Friday starting next week and I can't wait to see all of their little smiling faces. I'm glad that I decided to spend some of my free time with my little gal and her friends. It's been a great experience so far.

 

Exciting Times Ahead

I never thought I'd see the day that the hubby and I actually got our courage up to apply for another mortgage, but we did. A few days ago we applied for a new mortgage. Once we get qualified we can start shopping for our new home. I'm still a little gun shy when it comes to purchasing a new home, but I'm really looking forward to moving out of our little apartment and become home owners again. The best part about becoming homeowners again is shopping for some new furniture. I few years ago a fell in love with amish wood furniture. We are in such terrible need of a new kitchen table. I can't wait to start our shopping adventure to fill our new warm happy home.
