Quick-Style Update

Haven't blogged in forever! The quick recap of the past month - moved to Utah - got a new apartment - welcomed a new niece - crazy work with the start of the fall semester - job interview - and some family changes. Oh yeah, I had a minor breakdown too but I can't really get into why yet. When I'm able to, I'll spill the details. 

The Move - oh what to say about the move... it was CRAZY. I would have died if my mother-in-law and brother-in-law didn't come up and save our butts. I was a little sad to leave. I was content where we were and I really loved the park I'd walk through on my way to work ...


How could you not love this?!?!
Well back to the move after a hours of packing, lifting, scrubbing and cleaning and an almost disaster we hit the road. Of coarse Punkin didn't like the ride, but he was on sedatives so he did okay and we made it to Utah all safe.

The New Apartment - is amazing!! Thank you to all our friends and family that helped us move in. This apartment is a little nicer than we should have but I LOVE the pool, the fact that we have a dishwasher, elevators and the fact that I have not one, but TWO spacious bathrooms! ah heaven. I'll get it cleaned up and get some pictures soon.

The New Niece - is adorable. Annabelle is adorable. 


She is perfect!!!
I've finally whipped out my sewing machine and made a few more outfits ... and shoes





So other than that and Dan starting Law School Year II at the U Law School 
I've just been working away. Like I said work is a little crazy. Okay maybe a lot.
I had a job interview yesterday with a boss I used to work for and I think it went really well. He is at a great company now and it would be a huge opportunity. Cross your fingers. 

I'm not comfortable talking about any of the family challenges because it is not my business to share - but I wish there was something I could do to help out. I wish everyone had really small feet so I could make everyone cute little shoes.
