a quick recap

i feel like a lot has happened since my last post. the first two weeks of November i was working everyday at my retail job by taking on additional hours. i would get home in the early afternoon and  have just enough time to complete some duties around the apt, chat with Jordan, maybe watch a show, and relax a bit before i had to go to bed early and do it again. 

November 9th we started house sitting for a family from church. while we were there, i started a new job that requires a lot of walking and long hours. i guess my new work environment, adjusting to the current living/sleeping arrangements, and a change in routine was a little disorienting for me. because of that i feel like time completely escaped me. 

today i moved everything back into our apartment, including Roy. he always comes with us when we house sit.  he loves road trips. let me just say it feels so good to be home and have everything back in its place. i was struggling towards the end; missing my bed and my carpet that was not covered in dog hair! also the little things like knowing what was in the fridge, our recorded TV shows, and being close to my new job. i think that was honestly the first time i was truly homesick for my apartment. 

i will be giving more details about some changes around here soon, for now i need some time to myself before a long work week. 

it's been a good monday.

p.s. the photos are from a cookout at my dad's a few weeks ago. i am a little behind in my pictures too...

a word on Election Day

photo via 
hi friends. i wanted to take a moment and remind each one of you that this is an important day in our country's history weather or not you like "those kinds of things." please consider your freedom as a citizen of this country and make it to the polls on this chilly November Tuesday. 

i remember hearing this song for the first time and knew i wanted to share it on Election Day. she wrote it after the 2004 elections. i think it's whimsical. listen and enjoy!

take pride in the privilege of what this day is all about.
