I have been feeling incredibly happy and content about life this weekend and these are some of the reasons why:
Our apartment: I have fallen in love with our apartment all over again. After we rearranged the living room for the Christmas tree (which we still don't have), the new layout opens up the room so much more. It feels more cozy and welcoming and just simply perfect. I love when accidents like that happen. Additionally I scored some more Christmas decorations at Michaels for only $12 total. Now we only need the tree!
Our first snowstorm and the Christmas tree: As I mentioned before, we still don't have our precious tree. Since we are getting a real Christmas tree this year, we were planning on going out to the Christmas tree farm that's located a few blocks from our apartment complex today. However, a beautiful winter snowstorm this morning and afternoon came in between, which we didn't mind at all because it felt so good just staying at home watching the flakes falling from the sky. I have missed winter so much!
Home improvement projects: My parents and sister (who will be flying to DC all the way from Germany) will be getting here in a little over two weeks. With this in mind, I have slowly been trying to get our home ready for them. Collin and I found a few extra items from IKEA in our storage closet that we were trying to find a use for. And we did. So today I finished putting together our entry way. Now we can actually hang up our coats. AND we can check ourselves out in the mirror before heading out the door. It sure makes life a lot easier.
Knitting projects: With Christmas coming up, I have been working on a lot more knitting projects. Last weekend I finished a hat for one of my sister's presents. Currently I am trying to knit my first pair of gloves. With actual fingers which I have never done before! I haven't decided yet who I am going to give them to. Most importantly it depends on how they turn out and if they look alright, I might just keep them for myself. I am bad, I know.
My internship/work: My supervisor is amazing. That's all I wanted to say. Everything is going great which makes waking up and heading out to the bus that takes me to work in the mornings so much more fun and pleasant.
