LIFE LATELY... So things have been feeling a little monotonous around here. I guess this is actually a good thing; If you want to look at the glass half full! I've gotten in a nice routine between work and Crossfit classes. On days where I have both --I'm only working part time-- the time flies by! On days I have off I spend time on Pinterest. So THIS is my life lately... doing what I think most military wives who move every couple years do- dream of their dream home.
For me right now it's not even dreaming of my dream home.
It's dreaming of not having the restrictions of living overseas in Europe.
CASE IN POINT:
repurposed furniture. LOVE IT.
I'd rather have a house full of garage sale/thrift store/Craigslist finds than brand new furniture from IKEA. But I've had a really hard time finding thrift stores/etc. around here. Not to mention that we live in stairwell apartments which make it difficult to navigate any piece of furniture up to our second floor. Oh yah, and the fact that I am husbandless.
WANTS...
ONE thick legged kitchen table: repurposed into a desk
ONE old rustic armoire: repurposed into a storage cabinet for office
NEEDS...
ONE old dresser: repurposed into more storage for an office
GOTS TO HAVE...
ONE MORE old dresser: repurposed into entry way table with storage
We are finally out of the Army hotel and living in our new apartment! We live in a town not too far away from post. Close proximity was a must since 1. I'm terrified of driving in the snow and 2. I found a job! Our town is adorable (which is true for every German town around here) complete with its own bakery and butcher! After a month in a hotel I can't even begin to tell you how nice it is to be in our own place with a kitchen, lots of room, and our own washer and dryer! And as an added bonus our first shipment of goods is arriving earlier than expected- next week! I am so looking forward to having more of OUR things in our apartment.
You know what else makes it feel more like home? Technology, mainly the internet and my new iPhone. Oh to feel connected again! Enjoy some pictures from Instagram and be sure to follow me at: emmacleigh :)
