Recent Happenings

Well everyone, I'm officially done with school! Graduation was on April 15th and my portfolio event was on April 8th. It's kind of weird now having a lot of free time, our house has been really clean this past week. :) I'm going to post more pictures tomorrow, but these are the ones I have on my jump drive right now. (They were the ones that I posted on my design blog so they're not really the fun ones with Brandon and my family, those are still on my camera and will be posted tomorrow.)

Brandon's Post

So, Brandon was telling me the other day that he’s feeling left out from the blog. So I decided to dedicate an entire post to my darling husband so you all can get to know more about him. :)
His favorite dinner ever is wet burritos. Now I know that may sound interesting, but they’re basically microwavable enchiladas. His Mom would even send him all of the non-perishable ingredients for every major holiday and his birthdays while he was on his mission.
He absolutely loves the boat. He would spend every weekend all year out on a lake if he could, if he wouldn’t be a popsicle by the time we got back to shore. During this particular trip he leaned over the bow like that and then turned to me and said “Look, it’s like Titanic!”

He absolutely loves teasing the dog, and says that one day he wants to get a basset hound.

Some of his favorite activities are playing xbox and going hunting. However he never plays a hunting game on xbox.

He also loves John Deere stuff for some reason, and when we recently got a lawn mower, he was so excited that it was yellow and green because then he could put a John Deere sticker on it. :)
He's always willing to go along with whatever crazy idea I have, and is always really supportive of what I'm doing. Thanks Brandon for everything you do, I love you!

Quote 2


Here is my calendar quote for the month. I really like this one because it has been such a crazy month. Portfolio is tonight and then graduation is next week. I've been feeling stretched thin but really happy with myself at the same time because I did it! It's such an awesome feeling to be this close to graduating from college. Here is the quote
"Anticipate the good so that you may enjoy it. -Ethiopian Proverb"
Isn't that so perfect. When I'm constantly running around being so busy, I miss everything that is good and I don't enjoy it. I've always considered myself a pretty optimistic person but from now on I'm going to be looking for the good in everything that happens. Hope you all have a wonderful day! I'll be sure to post pictures of my portfolio tomorrow or Saturday. Oh, also, I started a design blog on my own it is kirstenelizabethdesigns.blogspot.com so go check it out!
