Meet Maybelle

So I got a dog!  She is the best dog ever!  I found her at a shelter in NC almost 2 months ago.  She is sweet and chill and obviously spoiled (I can't help it with the face).  Her name is Maybelle (previously Mae).  We have been getting used to each other and dealing with other life changes in the process.  She was meant to be and definitely been a huge help in getting through this last month with all the cuddles.

Day 1:

Finally Home to MD:

Getting used to her NEW HOME:

Spoiled with her new outfits:

She is my little pup and now part of my namesake for my craft company.  I can't wait for more adventures.

Try Again... Bigger and better things

I feel like I start every post with... so it has been a long time. I realize that time flies by and I have not always been the best at updating my life. I am looking to move this blog hopefully in a different direction of both life (which I already talk about) and crafts. It has always been a passion. So on to updating my life:

I have an amazing new job that I love and keeps me very busy. The drive is so much better than my last one. I am working on amazing projects that are bringing me lots of new learning and letting me shine with my expertise.  It really has been a great new experience for me and definitely happened all at once.  House, Job and everything in between. It has been fun and busy and I promise it won't be long before I keep posting.

Long Time

So I know it has been a long time since I have updated you on my life.  I guess I found it hard to talk about and still do.  I lost my job and am currently still looking.  I have faith I will find something soon.  I guess it takes a little time to change from one field of work to another.

Then on to my love life.  I met a guy at Homecoming.  It was easy to talk to him and be with him.  I thought I could be with him for the rest of my life and would be happy.  Well I guess life has a way... and his feelings changed for me and we are no longer.  Even though it was short, I still cared for him more deeply than I can say.  But I'm not going to convince someone to be with me nor do I deserve anything less than someone being truly happy with me.

So, I know I fall for people fast and that isn't going to change probably for the rest of my life, but I'm learning to trust how I feel for people.  I'm just hoping that maybe someone will one day feel for me as I feel for them.  It is always the problem of one person caring way more than the other, enough not to be with them.  Whether it has been me in the past that hasn't had my heart in it or the other way around.

So that is the sad in my life.  I think the difference is I'm not losing faith in people.  The last time I felt this way I lost my faith in guys.  I'm trying to stay positive.

On a fun and happy note.  My parents have an exchange student from Austria named Phillip.  He is a great kid and it has been fun getting to know him.  He is actually coming up to Baltimore tomorrow to see the city.  We are going to show him some holiday stuff and around the good areas of the city.  It will be fun.  So if you have seen that I have added a brother on facebook.  That is because we have.  We had a lot of fun doing our Christmas card photo shoot this year.

Anyways till next time, maybe I will have better news.

The little things in life

So... it has been a while.  Julie got married and her wedding was a blast.  You can see some of the photos. this-is-baltimore-hon-julie-and-dave

I have moved.  It really is a nice place.  I'm still getting things in it's place.  I will post over time some of the upgrades that I have made.  It is all the little things that make me like it 10 times better than the last house.

I never realized how things stick with you.  I never wanted to cook at the old house.  It was always something that I hated and I never really thought of why... Well now that I'm in the new house and settled I have made dinner almost every night.  I found the joy in it again.  It is amazing the memories that a place can hold that you never think about.

Here is to new stories at the new house.
