Christmas was fantastic. It was low-key and included a lot of elevated foot time for me. I also completed the Hunger Games series, drew in a coloring book, and made a sic gingerbread house. Sam completed several books from the Ender's game series, and relaxed.
January has gone very very quickly, we're both very busy. Sam's classes are taking up a lot of time, especially a lab class that eats up a ton of time. He's also is so good at an engineering program, he spends a lot of time answering other people's questions. I'm working full-time, taking one class, and teaching at a local YMCA for a seasonal wellness program. I'm having loads of fun getting back into my nutrition groove. I absolutely LOVE counseling in a group or 1:1 session. I really like seeing the light go on in people's eyes, and think this is what I could do with nutrition. Plus, I'm pretty dang good at it too! People have mistook me for a RD at the YMCA ( and I'm slow to correct them!)
We, mostly me, painted our bedroom this weekend. I absolutely love the light and airy beachy decorating. Not all seashells, but head to this blog to see more of that type of style. We painted our bedroom a soft blue. I realize that I have no patience for borders or details, especially if I'm painting at midnight...
It amazes me how many dark colors there are, I struggled to find the right light shade. I love light colors. I love saturated pops of turquoise in accents, but too much color on walls is just too much! I'm not a huge fan of accent walls or dark colors. But as soon as we get the master bath painted and curtains up, and a couple of other small items it'll be perfect! We have put up the living room curtains (sheers) and it's given a very ethereal look to the light coming into the room.
I love being able to paint! I'm so happy we live where we do, and I get a chance to experiment a bit with decorating before we get a real home. The only hard part is deciding what to do, since I have so many ideas of what I like!
