This week has been a busy one yet, really rewarding.  For the first time in my young career, I saw my interior renders come to life on a project. To me, there is no greater award to see something you've help create come to life. If you haven't been keeping up with my on my Instagram, I traveled to Phoenix, Arizona to job train on installing and to shadow on project manage. Honestly, I'm not sure how my principal does it. By the end of my short 2-day trip, I was throughly exhausted.

Here are my top 5 for the week.

1. My husband and I on Sunday, went to an orchard to purchase cider. Guys, this was a big deal for me. You know why? Because when I left my home state of Michigan, I feared that I will never again taste raw, made on site, fresh apple cider ever again.  Well on that Sunday, I was wrong. And my husband, never tasted it either. He loved it - I loved it!

2. Flying down to Arizona for work, I got to do the touristy thing. Well, for a few minutes, in the air anyway. I've always wanted to see the Grand Canyon. Well, I did. :)

3. I've said it earlier, and I'll say it again. What a reward it was to finally see this project almost completed and to see my interior renders come to life for the first time. That was awesome.

4. I'm probably going to sound silly, but I thought it was cool to see palm trees and cactuses. More so impressed to see cactuses since it was my first time ever to see any at that size. Sheltered, I know.

5. Over all, I learned a lot from this trip. Met a lot of people to help make this project possible. In a way, I felt like I was back in college. Did I mention I really love what I do?

How was your week?

The weekend is in full swing. This week has been really busy since my work is still going through this super busy spell. But there have been some really good/fun days into the mix. Boy, I've really been needing them to!

Here is what I've been up to this last couple of weeks.

1. The firm I've been working for is in the works of opening a new studio space. We been picking out finishes, paint colors, tile, carpet, stains, lighting.... it's been a really fun process. Since we've been working really hard lately, my principal took us out to go thrift shopping to find unique pieces to go into our new studio space.  Let me tell you, I cannot wait to show the big reveal.

2. My husband and I did a mini mini camp trip. Just one night to meet with old friends, ride some horses, and do some exploring on the 4-wheelers. It was a well worth (short) camp trip.

3. I couldn't help it; I've said it earlier, and I'll say it again - I've officially brought out my fall decor out. There.

4. Earlier this week, I had a dinner event to attend to with my husband. It was good to see and meet his other co-workers, his bosses, and their wives.

5. Last night, I had my first ladies night. It's not my very first, first ladies night. It is because I still feel like the "new kid"on the block. Anyways  it was a really great time meeting new people! Hope I'll get invited again. :)

That's it for this week,


Thanks for visiting!

Friday is here and there is a 3 day weekend ahead! Right? Maybe just the regular to for me since I still have deadline to attack. But there will finally be a bit of downtime which I really need.

Here is the top 5 things that happened for my week:

1 - Found a great workout routine/training to do at the gym. I really like it, and noticing that I'm getting better and stronger. I'll have to share with you soon!

2 - Had lunch at my favorite park area with my co-worker this week. Always a plus!

3 - Having my first pumpkin pie latte! Ahhh I love those! Is anyone else ready for fall? I know I am and I've been itching to get my fall decor and scents out. Okay so perhaps I am pushing my fall scents.

4 - I discovered the new sport of boxing. My husband was teaching me and I got really into it and really loved the aggression it got out! Anyways, needless to say, my husband was excited to see me take interest in it that he went out and bought me pink gloves. :)

5 - My husband bought me this really cute decorative owl light! Perfect to start my fall decor!

How has your week been!?!

Another Friday has yet again approached us. It has been a fast and busy week for me. Oh - but very good! Unfortunately, I don't have many pictures to show for it. I wish I did. Seen so many beautiful sights this week.

So here's a look at my favorite moments for the week.

1. On Sunday, I had a great workout. Then right after, my husband and I did an impromptu date night. Sort of. We went for a walk along the Greenbelt for a few miles.  It was fun see the rafters floating down the river, taking a tour inside the nature center, enjoying the sites, etc,.. Then, we heard lightning and then it started sprinkling on us. Needless to say, it was such a great evening.

2.  Tuesday evening,  was time well spent with some of my family. One from Alaska, another all the way from the Michigan. We all sat down outside of the Cottonwood Grill, drinking wine, eating, and just catching up. I'm a big family gal, and I just love being with them.

3. Saturday night was the Snake River Stampede rodeo. That, my friend, has to be one of the best entertaining rodeos I've ever been to. I think it is better than the PBR! My favorite would be the bronc riders, and I'd say the steer wrestlers. I think my husband should become a steer wrestler... just saying.  On another note - how cute is this mutton busting?!

4. Wednesday, was an evening event for work. Just for educational purposes. But, I did see one of favorite friends that I haven't seen in a few weeks. Plus, I bought myself a kimono ( my new obsession). So comfy!

5. I'm so excited to say that they're going to be a lot of great things happening at my career. We got word about a certain thing that we've been working on for months. But I can't say what it is just yet - stay tuned.

How was your week?

It is another Friday yet again. This week went fast! Though yesterday, I wasn't feeling my best, then ruined for me to head to the gym. Hopefully, I'll be better today.

Here's a look at some of my favorite moments of the week.

1. One of my friends from collage drove a ways and stayed the night cause he had a job interview the next morning. It was good to see him and to catch up.

2. I ran 3 miles in like 30-32 min! That was huge for me since I haven't ran that well since I was running all the time.

3. My boss got approved to buy an office space for work. I'm so excited to be moving into a actual space. Did I mention I work with such an awesome team!?

4. Starting to feel confident in my own skin again. Though I still have a long ways to go.

5. I won a bottle of whiskey at an Interior Designer luncheon! Isn't that funny?! I could tell some of the guys wanted me to see if I wanted something else.  I said "No, my husband will love this!"

How was your week? Tell me about it!
