Invitations (Take Two)

Today is the first day of cutting the second round of invitations. I’ve been trying to find the motivation but it’s hard when I spent over six hours cutting the last set, before having to throw a large portion of my work in the trash can. So here it is, my photo-of-the-day. I’ve also been writing thank-yous.

New Bed!

Yesterday, we bought our bed. It was a big day for us! We have been looking for quite some time. Tabo (Phillip’s grandmother) had gifted an amount of money to us to use on furniture. So, we decided to use it on a bed. We fell in love with one at RoomsToGo but felt that it was a little pricey. While waiting for it to come down in price, my mom and I stumbled on this beauty. [The price tag and remaining tape from the previous price tag are what look like two imperfections in the headboard in the first picture.]

So yesterday Phillip and I went to look at it again – and bought it! It was at the RoomsToGo outlet in North Richland Hills. They were having an unbeatable sale on as-is beds. Ours has a couple of smudges around the feet of the bed (that furniture polish will get rid of) and one medium sized noticeable scratch on the footboard (that a furniture pen we already own will fix). The headboard is completely free of any spots, smudges, or scratches. It was a great purchase and we are so happy with it!

Not only do we have a stunning bed now, but we also have spare money to spend on other items. Most likely it’ll go toward bedside tables and either a console table or living room side table.

We also were able to buy our bedroom lamps yesterday from Target! They work perfectly with the bed frame and also with the bedside tables we are planning to get. It is all coming together and I can’t wait to move into our new place in a month and a half. We are so fortunate to have made great furniture decisions in the past few years, so our apartment will look so sophisticated and grown-up. I can’t wait to show you!

I Promise I’m Not Ignoring You, Bloggers

I feel like now that my life is being ruled by hosting at Pluckers that I hardly have time to post anymore. But don’t worry. The posts will still continue – and I’m still keeping up with my photos of the day. I can’t give up on a New Year’s resolution, you know. I promise I will be better at managing my time in the future. Things are finally settling down.

Friday was a miserable day at work, I’m not even going to pretend it wasn’t. There was drama and we were super busy for lunch – and completely understaffed. When I got home from my shift, I pretty much just hung out around the house. So, sorry for the boring picture. But hey, I needed to take a picture of something.

Yesterday I worked again, and it was much better. But before that, mom and I went around town window shopping for furniture. Phillip and I might buy our bed today! If we check it out, it’s still there, and we both like it, we’ll get it. It’s not the original one we were looking for, but it’s similar in design and less than half the cost. We’re only having a queen bed until we can afford a king – in which case, the queen will go in a guest room. Therefore, if we might only have this bed for so long, we should really consider a cheaper solution if one is available – and this might be the bed we pick.

I got my passport in the mail yesterday too! Phillip says this means I’m a real person now. I don’t know about all of that, I could have sworn I’ve been a real person for 22+ years now…

Work was better last night too, in case you were wondering. I’m looking into some promising options for full time employment, even if they aren’t in my desired field. But at least they would bring more hours and higher pay. I will keep you posted.

Off to look at furniture and have a fun day off with my love!

Church Chit Chat

Today Phillip and I drove to Dallas to talk with Highland Park UMC about our wedding at Munger Place. It was so informative! I feel like we’re so behind on a few things.

We met with their coordinator for about an hour and discussed every single little detail about our wedding day. I am so excited to actually be able to invision everything. I can see the dresses, the tuxedos, the people, the flowers… everything!

This is making me even more excited than I already was for the big day to get here!!
