Seven Quick Takes (v.5)

Seven Quick Takes is hosted by ConversionDiary. Visit to link up with other "quick-takers!" :)

1. Last night I wrapped my first Christmas gifts of the season. One is for my mother, the others are for my husband. And two of them are technically anniversary gifts since our anniversary is 2 weeks before Christmas.

2. I think they are getting ready to build on the lot next door to us. One part of me is happy because it looks pretty awful right now, but another part is kinda bummed. I kind of like only having the neighbors on one side, haha.

3. I sincerely apologize for mostly only blogging on Tuesdays and Fridays recently. It has been a really tough semester of class in addition to personal changes and such. I wish I could say I would do better. I mean, that is my hope and everything but I'm just not sure how quickly I can make it happen. Next semester is my last (thank you Lord above!) and I will be taking the capstone course which is a killer, I hear. Plus I might be busier at work...

4. The reason I might be busier at work is that yesterday afternoon my supervisor/director resigned. It was kind of shocking the way it occurred. It was an "I have just resigned" and then a bolt out-the-door situation. It happened so late in the day, and my "boss-boss" wasn't there so I couldn't go talk to him...so I don't know how things are going to play out. My Friday to-do list instantly grew, as did my list of "questions/reminders for myself."

5. I am considering going back to my natural hair color. My hair has been light for so long, though, that I'm not even quite sure I know *what* my natural color is. Here are two pictures a couple years apart that probably show a pretty good representation of my natural color...even though the 2nd picture looks lighter and more auburn, there was no color on it. Strange...

January 2002

March or April 2005 (I think)

6. As I eluded above...our anniversary is fast approaching! Next week will mark five years! Sometimes I cannot believe it has been 5 years, especially considering I'm only 26! Unfortunately both of us will be traveling (separately *sad face*) on our anniversary and getting back pretty late. Celebrations will have to be delayed.

7. We ordered some new furniture last weekend! It is very exciting. It probably won't be delivered for another week or so, but that is fine with me. We ordered a dark brown leather sectional, new coffee/end tables, an "official" dining room table w/6 chairs, and a console table for the living room. This will allow us to add furniture to 2 of the 3 currently empty rooms. We'll have real dining furniture, and we'll move our current sofa set to the upstairs loft/tv area (assuming it will fit up the stairs). The front room will still be completely empty but I'm not too worried about it. The good news is that we got all this furniture for between 43 and 50% off, plus no delivery costs! Even still, it was quite a chunk of change, so I don't think we'll be buying any additional furniture until after the holidays!

I'm so glad it is Friday...it has been a long week! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Yay on new furniture. And yay on the soon to be last semester of school. And yay on five years of marriage-dom!

I went back to my natural hair color and love it. You should do it! I think God picks our hair color because He knows what looks best on us! :)

[Sarah @ This Heavenly Life]

Your hair looks gorgeous in that auburn/brunette color! Though, I'm sure it looks great in any color -- such pretty hair you have!

Congrats on the upcoming anniversary :)

Your a busy gal. Hope you have fun with the new hair color and your anniversary. Congrats on 5 years!
