Major Overdue Update

Alrighty... Where do I start....? I think a bullet list would be best.

-New apartment in a new town with roommates. Amanda (Mandy) Schager, Travis, and I have moved into a 2-bedroom apartment in downtown Dell Rapids. We are still settling in, but it's only the last few things. It's spacious, it's relatively new... ish, and can fit everything. :) Pictures soon.

-Also, Travis has moved in! Yes, that's right... he's moved in!

-New jobs sprung from previous one. After seeing how hard-working I was helping out with the west-side Walmart's remodel, the store planner, V, decided to take me over to the east-side store with her to help out over there on overnights. Before that even, a few of the store associates working with the remodel team had recommended me to the store for hire. So... I filled out an application and got an interview. Actually, three interviews all in the same day. The third one wasn't really an interview, but more of a filling out of paperwork because I was hired. ^_^ Tuesday is my orientation for apparel/jewelry department. Woot, woot.

-Freelance design work is taking off. I have about 6 little projects lined up ranging from tattoo designing to logo vectorizing to wedding invitations. ^_^ I'm very excited! I was even hired to photograph a wedding... turned out well. I won't say that my work is anything unique... I haven't developed my eye behind the camera yet... :S

-Everything else.... is going great! :D The past few days, we've been adjusting a few things here and there. I hung up Travis and my curtain rods yesterday. (Still gotta find the other curtain... have no clue where it ended up in the shuffle...) Really, the last room that needs completed is Travis and my room. :D Other than that... I guess I have a whole list of things that I've done or helped with so far...

     -Travis and I put together my bookshelf and set it up in the livingroom
     -I took down a couple of towel rods and moved one of them to the kitchen.
     -Mandy and I hung up artwork/photography in the apartment to break up the white walls.
     -I've organized the cabinets with the aid of wire shelving. (Bought by all three of us)
     -I made our bathroom closet more useable with cube shelving and more inconspicuous with the use of a sheer curtain.

There's other little things, but I can't think of them right now. I'm excited to get everything done and say it's all put in it's place. Sadly, some of that requires more purchasing that none of us can afford right now... so we're kinda sitting at a stand still. I'm actually still looking for a second part-time job to help with that problem. I've applied at a couple of places, but haven't heard back. I guess we'll see. :)


Stay Tuned!

PS. I know I'm UBER behind on the 365 project.... :s It's updated on Facebook. When I get time, which will probably be tomorrow, I will be sure to update it. :D
