I.

I hate today.

Sometimes.

Sometimes I find out about things and wish I hadn't.

Like when your friends do stupid things.

Stupid, irresponsible, things where you'd think they

would learn from other people's mistakes...

But I guess they have to learn for themselves.

...

...I'm sorry.

Forgive me?

I haven't blogged in so long!

It doesn't help that we don't have internet at our apartment

but we will be getting it soon, so I can keep you updated

every second of everyday of our lives...

okay not every second!

The last time I blogged I told you about our big car purchase.

The newest addition to our little apartment

is our new red couch-our great Ikea find :)

Since I last blogged all this happened too:

-I was made manager at the boutique I work at

-the new season of the bachelor started-eek!

-Taylor and I enjoyed our very first Christmas together

-Along with new years

-Got a brand new yellow kitchenaid :)

Isn't it a beauty?

Ohh, I can't tell you how much I love it.

Cookies.

Bread.

Whipped Cream.

ANYTHING!

Awesome? YES!

-Finally got the Hunger Games series for Christmas

and devoured the first book.

I absolutely loved it.

I can't WAIT for the movie!

Have you seen the trailer yet?

If you haven't, look it up.

You won't regret it!

So, enough catch-up.

I want some ideas.

I've been searching Pinterest for cute ideas

for our apartment but I haven't really found any

that I love-so I'm seeking your help.

Cute ideas for decorating your house/apartment?

OH! And Beyonce' had her BABY!
Blue Ivy.
Different, but love the Ivy.
Tay wants to throw a baby shower for her, so pictures coming soon.

I'm alive!

Holy Moly.

I've been gone for a long time.

I apologize!

We don't have internet at our new place, so the only chance

I have to blog is when we're at the in-laws but 

typically when we're here we're always eating and enjoying

each other's company so I don't have much time to blog.

But I finally have a Saturday off from work so I put my day off to good use :)

Like the new layout?
I had some free time on my hands today.

Let's see, here's the low-down of what's new in the lives of the Hawkins clan:

1. New apartment. Super cute, smaller, but we love it. Great location and wonderful ward.

2. Tay and I are now fully employed! I'm working at a home decor/vinyl boutique in Bountiful

for about the last two months and Tay starts work at H&M on Monday!

3. We have 2 new additions to the family, Jack and Joey...

They're a bit on the boring side, mostly because we're not home a whole lot

so they haven't gotten used to us yet but hopefully we'll break them in.

4. We just made our first "big kid purchase" and bought a 2009 Silver Toyota Corolla.

We both fell instantly in love with it.
5. The new season of Gossip Girl has started...love.

I think that's about it in the way of big news other than things are going well for us!

I've been going crazy for a website I found out about this summer called

Pinterest.
(click for link)

If you haven't checked it out, you need to.

I look at it daily.

There are so many awesome recipes, outfit ideas, home decor and DIY ideas on there.

It's like I'm a kid in a candy store!

So can you believe there's only sixteen more days until Halloween?
What are you being?
We don't know for sure...leave us ideas!
Love you all.
xoxo

YAY!

I GOT A JOB!!

Just A Thought texted me this morning that said:

Congratulations, you got the job!

I am so thankful!

I know Heavenly Father's hand 

was certainly a factor in my success.

I got an apartment, a job, and a spicy new haircut

all in one week!

And my hubby will be home in just eight short days :)

Can't wait!

What a great week.

Can't wait to start my job, either!

I'll keep you updated :)

xoxo

Updates.

Blog-worthy recent updates: 

1. I finally found an apartment. It's in the basement of a house

and couldn't ask for anything more.

It's spacious, cute, and doesn't smell weird; thank the heavens.

2: I made my own pottery cups yesterday thanks to the Jodester. 

One for me, and one for Tay :)

3: It's been one week since I left Nebraska...feels like ages.

4: My adorable husband will be coming home in 

just 10 short days.

5: Still no job, but consistently searching; 

had 1 new job interview yesterday that sounds promising.

That's it for now.

Keep creepin, you avid bloggers out there.

Thanks for stopping by.

xoxo

Jobs.

Holy macarole.

I have been sending resumes left and right!

I had two interviews last Thursday like I said in my last post.

I called on Saturday night to Hip&Humble and 

they said they'd call me on MONDAY because

the boss had just gotten back from NY.

So here it is, Monday morning, 10:30 a.m. and

I am impatiently awaiting their phone call.

(I know, I know, they're probably too busy to call me...but I can't wait around for forever!)

So, in the mean time, in case it doesn't work out,

I hopped on Craigs List and sent my resume to 

three different receptionist jobs.

One for a doctor's office which would be SO fun!

So we'll see if I hear back from them!

I'd love to work a receptionist job.

Good hours, good pay.

Probably a little hectic but I can handle hectic.

Believe me, I can handle hectic.

I want my baby to come home.

I wish I could just fall asleep tonight and he

would just be home.

I hate being away from him!

He's my everything.

When he's away I feel incomplete.

Hurry home, boo!

On a lighter note...

I'll be looking at our (potential) apartment today.

Can I get a woo woo?

It's not close to the Trax but...if nothing else

comes up, we'll just have to make it work!

Can't wait until I have a job.

A place to live.

And my cute little hubby home.

Then life will be perfect.

xoxo
