for my auntie.

so i've had this post written up since the 1st, but forgot to put it up - then i got the nicest email from my aunt asking for an update & i couldn't wait to get this post up! i really feel so great that my family loves to read this blog.

here is a recap of my favorite month ever - november! so much has happened this November - it needs to be listed. here we go...

1. i have another new job! & this one is the greatest yet! i am starting as a junior designer and sales associate for a local interior design firm - i feel like i am putting a literal foot through the door of this industry and i'm ecstatic

2. i also registered for some of the interior design courses that i didn't finish at Utah State. haven't decided whether to finish my degree in interior design or just create a grander portfolio yet

3. lady grew about 5 inches!

4. i only shopped for our groceries at Trader Joe's & i am obsessed with the place

5. i spent some quality time in Park City & met the most interesting people with the greatest stories.

6. i turned 24 - and i feel no different at all

7. Bryer and i celebrated our 4 year anniversary

8. we also celebrated the 1 year anniversary of living in our apartment

9. we bought a new set of sheets to celebrate all anniversaries of the month 

10. i made Bistro's famous chocolate croissant bread pudding for Thanksgiving. i need to use more croissants next time, but i am hoping this will be a promised thanksgiving dessert from now on

11. we decorated the apartment with Christmas lights and yarn pom poms for the holidays

12. we are obsessed with The Sopranos & i am shocked about how home sick these dirty mobsters make me 

13. i learned a lot about patience while working with kids under the age of 8
14. Bryer and his dad took apart the entire motor on my jeep & replaced the radiator - it took 6 hours
15. i missed my family so much during the month of November
16. & i missed my girlfriends more than ever
17. i've been trying to donate/recycle my closet & i'm feeling rather proud about my success in getting rid of things
18. Bryer is growing out his hair - yes!!
19. no snow in November & i'm praying for it
20. have you seen Interstellar yet? it's my favorite movie of all time - i didn't even expect to like it, but this film is so well done, we might go see it again in theaters.

also, don't you just swoon over those words up there. that phrase is... very exactly how i feel lately.
