I can't even believe that this year has passed so quickly. Can you even believe that a year ago I was hiding my pregnancy, planning a trip to DC and my return there, too?! And here we are at Oliver's 5 month of age mark!!! So mind blowing.
I have been on a break from blogging and crafting recently for the past couple months. I thought I'd have everything together by now, but truthfully, I do not. I'm not even anywhere close to it.
When we first got here, we were staying in a super awkwardly shaped room at my mom's house. After a lot of persuasion and pleading I finally talked her into moving her craft studio into that room and letting us use that room. I think this room would be used as a "formal dining room" to normal folks, but right now it is our bedroom. It functions much better than the last room, but obviously isn't all that great for 4 people.
Since moving to California, Dillon had multiple job offers and until last month was employed with one. He liked it a lot but he just was always talking about his dream to own a bakery. So we decided it was time for him to just quit wasting time and go to culinary school. And like a bunch of crazies, we did just that. We jumped feet first into a new school schedule, and found him a new part time job.
I have been applying everywhere but I'm having difficulties with my availability with working around his schedule. It sucks, but I'm trying. I feel like once we move into our apartment in December that I'll be more on top of my blog, art, and etsy. (did I mention we found an apartment?!)
Well, we did. It is a cute newly remodeled 2 bedroom. We wanted a 3rd bedroom, but we're very aware of our budget and the need to save money is our biggest priority second to taking care of the kids. We move December 1st! I can't wait to unpack everything and decorate just in time for Christmas. I think I might even plan a White Elephant Christmas party if I have time!
Speaking of the kids, Opal and Oliver are getting so big! Opal learned to count to 10 today and Oliver turned 5 months! He has two teeth already! He rolls over like a pro and is soooo sweet. He is huge, too! He weighs a whopping 19 lbs!!!! Oh, and he also broke me heart the other day by saying "da-da." I totally convinced myself that he would say "mama" first..... I may need to have another baby just so I can try once again to have a mama said first!! haha!
Well anyways, Opal will be 2 next month...... That might have been the weirdest thing I've said in a while. WOAH BABY- A TWO YEAR OLD. I can't even believe it. It feels like yesterday that I was planning her first party and here we are again with me blogging my way through party planning!!
My next post will be on the masks. I'm starting that tomorrow. Thank goodness for Pinterest because I have a bunch of great blogs and their tutorials to share with y'all.
So now you're kind of caught up to speed with me, my family and what is going on. Happy November guys!!
Xoxo, Chelsea.
