Lives Entwined: Snow, Skating, Home & Job!!!

I know it has been a while since my last post and I apologize to anyone that has actually been patiently waiting for the next installment of Lives Entwined. There have been so many new things in 2012 for Mr. & Mrs. Smith. First exciting news is that it snowed in Franklin, TN!! For a girl that has lived in Florida for 12 years, seeing the snow fall was wonderful, even if it was just a dusting! Some more thrilling news is that I started coaching skating again. It is wonderful to get back into something that I really truly love to do. It is so weird though figuring out the dynamic, rules and regulations at a different rink after coaching at the same rink for my entire coaching career. The next exciting news is that we are closing on a house next week! We found a house just before Christmas that we absolutely fell in love with and we patiently waited to find out if we were going to make this house our home. After lots of prayers and getting all of our duck were in a row we are ecstatic to close next week. Right now however that means that our apartment is a disaster with all the packing going on. I’m sure the weeks to come there will be plenty of design, decorating and Pintrest recreation posts. I am so excited to make our house the home that both Adam and I have dreamt of and more thrilled to have friends and family come visit us! The next very exciting news is that I got a JOB! I actually start my new job as a Business Analyst on Monday and I am so overjoyed! I have not been working since I moved here to TN in May 2011, with the move, wedding planning and the holidays I thought it was best to wait until the New Year to work. Thankfully I found a great job and can’t wait to give you an update soon about it. One more sensational update is that Adam and I had a great find at an Eddie Bauer store that was going out of business, two coffee tables for $15 each! We are going to make it a weekend project to re-finish them to use in our living room and our bonus room. I will for sure give you an update on our craftiness.
