Projects

Happy Thursday! This is the first week since moving back that I don't have a million things on my to do list. I forgot how much of a pain it was to move! With this "extra" time during Mason's naps I am continuing my job hunt but have been feeling a little discouraged. I have applied for close to 25 jobs and haven't heard anything back. Keep in mind that teaching jobs aren't really open this time of year so most of the jobs I have applied for relate more to sales and training. I was hoping my realtor experience in AZ would help me out but apparently not. I feel like I am in my young 20's again wondering what I should do! I asked Brandon the other day "What are my skills?" and he just laughed at me and said like a good husband "Honey you are great at everything you pick up and do". Although encouraging words, I still find myself a little lost. Right now I am soaking up this amazing time as a mom and wondering how the heck we are going to manage when we have two!(someday that is)

So now I am on a mission to figure out what would be good for me part time. I LOVED real estate but it's hard to explain to people that its not something you can just jump into and be successful at right away. I am learning the area, meeting people, and hopefully can get relicensed in the future and build a client basis. I also started designing a photo website that I was excited to share with my realtor friends so I could take pictures of their listings! I am hoping I can combine the two in the future but we shall see.

For now, I am working on making our house a home and teaching myself some photo stuff on youtube! Brandon has also been keeping busy. We were having a hard time finding a dining room table that was long enough for our dining room so we decided to build one. I found some plans online and the tables has turned out awesome and was so cheap to build. I found some fun chairs at homegoods that I can't wait to add to it!

Brandon has done a great job! He is going to build a bench on one side. I think Mason will love having a fun bench to sit on and color with his future siblings and friends :)

I am SOOOOOO excited to have my sister and nephew here next weekend! I plan on taking a million pictures of Mason with his cousin and doing lots of fun crafts and activities with Mandi. Words can't even describe how nice it is having her in the same state. We have so much fun together and it's nice we get to share stories of my mom together. 

I wanted to share a few photos of Mace face that I took over the week. I updated lightroom 4 to 5 and have really liked the program. I am hoping to get better and better with my camera! Have a great week everyone.

They do Love each other it's just hard to see sometimes!
