hello again!

Oh, hey there blog world! It's been an entire month since I've posted because I've been a blog-slacker with a very busy life. The past month has been spent:
  • Unpacking/settling into our house. The unpacking is pretty much done, but since we went from a one-bedroom apartment to a four-bedroom house, we've got some space to fill! My goal is for everything to be done by mid-August (including landscaping) so that we can have an awesome house-warming party!

  • Doing the whole job application process. I've been updating my resume/linkedIn/online portfolio/print portfolio, taking editing tests, and going to interviews. Crossing my fingers that I'm getting some good news this week! :)

  • Cruising in Europe! The long-awaited trip finally came, and now it's gone :( But I had an amazing time exploring Spain, Italy, and France with my love and my family! There will definitely be more detailed and picture-filled posts about this trip later, but I can't promise how soon considering I still haven't blogged about our Hawaii trip that happened in January yet . . . 
sun be shinin' bright on the amalfi coast!

I don't know if I'll ever get back to the consistency I had last year, but I do still love using a blog to document my life. It doesn't take up space like journals do, and my hands don't have to hurt after writing :) Plus I love that with this way of journalling, I get to meet people! So keep an eye out for more posts from me than you've been seeing lately ;)

    I haven't blogged in so long either but I kind of love it! I stopped feeling guilty because I have been getting a lot done in real life and I'm just gonna pick it back up when I feel like it ha. Love reading about your life though! I feel your pain with having so much space to fill with the new home - although I guess thats a good problem to have

our first murder mystery

A murder mystery been on my "party list" for ages, but I've never gotten around to throwing one (probably because there are too many other ideas on my party list haha). So even though we were planning to do Harry Potter movie parties every Friday and Saturday in October, when my friend asked if we'd be available for a murder mystery, I told her I would rearrange my schedule to be there! Haha :) When the actual invitation came, I was super impressed because it was so themed and legit! Diana went above and beyond -- the kit they bought (from  Night of Mystery ) came with invitations, but she had someone design different ones that were so awesome. Girl knows how to get the party started right from the get-go! I had heard about and seen other murder mysteries before, and the main thing I always heard about was people dressing up. It was so fun to arrive at Diana and Michael's and find that everyone had really gone all out with their costumes! Wigs,

Lately I have been looking for a nice purse. I always carry a bag around, and so I want something that looks nicer and more grown-up. Trouble is, I can't make up my mind!

Please help me out! :) one.   couldn't find a picture online so . . . you get my inadequate photography skills on this one :) Cobalt Bag: Burlington Coat Factory Similar:  A.   B. ++pros big enough to fit my planner best price ----cons might be bigger than I want limited organizational features (only two giant sections; no smaller compartments and zipper areas) two.  Coral Bag:  Target ++pros smaller size love  all of the compartmental options ----cons I have a lot of shirts this color, so it will look either too matchy-matchy, or the two very similar colors will clash won't fit my planner three. sidenote: I don't actually wear cross-body purses across my body (pict

one.  Remember that secret I mentioned last week ? Well I guess I'll tell you now, only it's in a sad way rather than an excited way. We were contemplating moving to England for six months sometime next year (around May). It was a secret because we hadn't decided whether or not we were going to do it yet. But now we've made our decision, and we're not doing it. But I figured I should still mention it since I left you all hanging last week. Someday . . .  two.  As I browse blogs, I often come across bloggers wearing adorable clothes and linking up where they got the clothes from. They always say stuff like "I got this amazing dress, and it's so affordable! " I'm amazed to see what prices people call "affordable." And I'm not trying to be mean--I just think I have a different definition of "affordable." I could afford  just about any outfit that people post about. But I'm a bargain shopper. I don't pay more
