I've spent the last 5 days in my hometown in Pennsylvania and it has been wonderful. I forgot how beautiful this part of the country is and how much I absolutely love it. These past few days have been full of good food (so much pizza), a massage, shopping with my mom and sister, Indian food, playing with my adorable nephews, and relaxing. It really is going to be hard to leave and go back to Texas but I have so much to go back to there. I'm feeling really lucky these days.<br />

<br />I've been in the mood to make things lately.<br />
<br />
ok, I'm always in the mood to make things. I'd really like to be able to make a few simple clothing items and I've looking through sewing books trying to get better at it. These are a few books I've been loving to look at for ideas on sewing, cooking and making homemade items for around the house. <br />

<br />
I had a wonderful birthday this year. I went out to lunch with my friend Deb and talked over Thai food. Spent the afternoon preparing for my trip to Pennsylvania and got a pizza with Philip in the evening. We had some beers and tried to go to the movies to see Boyhood but the theater was full, maybe next week. That movie trailer looks amazing. <br />
<br />
Recently I've had a desire to simplify my life in every way. I spent a few weeks in July going through our apartment and donating items to lessen the clutter and it felt so good. I wrote some birthday goals for myself on the plane ride to Pennsylvania and they are pretty simple as well.<br />
<br />
buy less stuff<br />
be nice to myself<br />
be calm<br />
have more fun every day<br />
be patient with others<br />
<br />
They all sound so easy but I know it will be challenging. I'm working on breaking them down into activities to help me follow through and make progress on living my life with these goals in mind. I love the idea of spending less time buying stuff and more time doing things I love to do. I'd love to meet more people in Austin too. Why is so difficult to make friends when you're in your thirties?<br />

<br />
I have been slowing going through all the rooms in the apartment and trying to get rid of things. We don't really have a lot that we don't use or love because we move so often. We've moved almost every year for the last 7 years that we've been together. Before that I was in college and moved every year to a new apartment for the school year. I've lived in 10 apartments in the last 12 years. That's a lot of moving and it makes me tired just thinking about it. When we moved from Seattle to Pittsburgh, we got rid of everything even our furniture. We were able to fit everything we owned including our pets into a 4 door sedan and a teeny tiny trailer. <br />
<br />
I like to keep the amount of things we own to a minimum and my desire to own less seems to grow every year. I've also been working on buying things that last longer and using items until they're worn out. I donate a lot of the stuff we don't need because we didn't really use it that much and it still looks good.<br />
<br />
My new plan of attack is to buy less stuff. I've started making list before I go to Target and not buying anything that isn't on the list. It's been challenging but I know I don't need any of that stuff and I'll probably be putting in the donate pile in a few months when we move again.<br />
<br />
This is how I get rid of items:<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
1.<b> I go through one room a day and make a bag for donating and another for throwing away.</b> If I'm unsure about getting rid of something it goes in the donate bag. I usually give myself a few days to decide before I take everything to donate.<br />
<br />
2. <b>Have one box of memories or sentimental items. </b>Philip and I both have a medium sized cardboard box of old photos and sentimental items in or hall closet. If I have something that I really want to keep but I don't use it or want it out for decoration, it goes in the box. I know I should probably let go of some of my silly knick knacks but I feel ok about having only one box.<br />
<br />
3. <b>Put clothes away for the season. </b>I like to put away my winter clothes each year to make some space in the closet and it helps me to go through my clothes twice a year. When I go to put items back in for the season, I always take another look at them and decide if I need to get rid of things or donate them. I'm not a great clothes shopper so not having the things I need really motivates me to go buy new items.<br />
<br />
4. <b>Get rid of items that pile up. </b>I try to go through our mail and coupons but I still find piles of receipts and mail I didn't know if I'd need later all over the apartment. We have a receipt drawer that I clean every few months and a small basket for mail and coupons that I go through and throw away expired and not needed items. I'm so bad at remembering to use coupons! I also recycle all of my magazines. I have so many magazines and I used to keep them but after 10 moves, I've realized they're too heavy and I usually never go back to read them anyway. <br />
<br />
5. <b>Throw away the old stuff. </b>This might seem obvious but I never seem to do it. I buy new make-up and hair products but I never actually throw away the old stuff. I use a hair product a few times, decide that I hate it, and then I keep it for 5 years just to make sure that I really don't want to use it. We have a small kitchen right now with about 4 cabinets so I've been getting rid of food items that I know we'll never eat and I finally threw away a ton of hair products and make-up containers with only an ounce left in them. <br />

If you're like me and enjoy buying a new plant every time you leave the house then you are probably running out of pots to plant them all in. Well this idea is going to help and also save some money so you can buy more things you need, like plants.<br />
<br />
This DIY is pretty darn simple.<br />
<br />
1. Eat food out of a can. I suggest spicy <a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Crispy-Black-Bean-Tacos-with-Feta-and-Cabbage-Slaw-351271">black bean tacos</a>.<br />
<br />
2. Wash can to remove label and use scrub brush or goo be gone to get rid of any glue residue. Also sand any sharp edges around the top to avoid future injuries.<br />
<br />
3. Use spray paint to paint can, I used two layers.<br />
<br />
4. Use a small nail to poke drainage holes in the bottle of your can.<br />
<br />
5. Put plants in beautiful new planter!<br />

I made a basket the other day for Annie's dog toys. It only took about an hour to make and I love it. I got the idea <a href="http://whollykao.com/2012/09/04/diy-rope-basket/">here</a>. I couldn't find cotton clothesline at the hardware store so I bought the polyester kind. I'd love to get cotton so I could dye it and make colorful baskets. I used a light mint thread for most of the basket because I have a hard time sewing straight, as you can see from bright pink thread on the inside. <br />
<br />
After I finished this basket, I just wanted to make more and more. I don't really <i>need </i>anymore baskets but I doubt that will stop me. <br />

In the past few months, I've been thinking a lot about how much I enjoy it when my life slows down. I like to have time to sit outside and read on our balcony or just spend time fiddling around with my plants for a hour. I sometimes day dream about moving out of the city and living on a small farm. I would love to have a llama farm or a lavender farm. My fantasy probably isn't even close to what real farm life would be like but I imagine it would be still be pretty great even if I had to wake up at 4am. <br />
<br />
Since I can't pack up and leave for the farm life right now, I've been trying to make small changes instead. I try and make time every day to just sit outside and read. I try to be less concerned with everything on my to do list and just slow down my day. Take the time to go for a long walk with Annie dog and enjoy how quiet and wonderful it is to have the house to myself to work on sewing projects. <br />
<br />
I'm meeting my friend Deb this afternoon and we're going to spend the afternoon at <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=barton+springs&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=A0q9U5_BG6HC8QGG4IHQCg&sqi=2&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=1608&bih=757&dpr=0.9">Barton Springs.</a> I haven't been swimming all summer and today is supposed to be hot so I'm excited. I'm off to pack some books and snacks for the day.<br />

I've been working on a new knitting blanket at night while we watch movies (mostly terrible nicholas cage movie masterpieces). I like super simple knitting projects and this one couldn't be easier, just knitting a giant rectangle in knit stitch. I've still had to start over because of mistakes that I couldn't figure out how to fix. I've been knitting for years and still struggle to pick up dropped stitches. I must have watched 10 youtube video on how to do it before I decided starting over might be the best option. I'm really enjoying knitting again and maybe someday the temperature will drop in Austin and we'll actually need to use a blanket again. maybe.<br />
<br />
I was inspired to make a blanket after seeing so many beautiful knitted blankets on pinterest. <br />
<a href="http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2012/8/18/new-super-easy-baby-blanket.html">This blanket inspires mine</a> and I also love<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/186406872046796545/"> this one</a> and <a href="http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2012/11/30/two-purl-bee-classics-now-in-super-soft-merino.html">this one.</a> This <a href="http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/item/8944-Purl-Soho-Super-Soft-Merino">super soft merino wool</a> looks amazing. I need to order some of that right now. <br />

Happy 4th of July!! Philip and I took Annie for a long and very hot run this morning. Hopefully she'll be too tired to freak out tonight during the fireworks.<br />
<br />
This week:<br />
<br />
+ Philip and I checked out the farmer's market in our neighborhood and I got a free mini watermelon for spending over $10. win win. <br />
<br />
+ I've been working on a small knitted blanket and these are the colors that I'm using for it. It is taking me forever because I keep messing up and taking it all out. I really need to get better at fixing knitting mistakes.<br />
<br />
+ Philip hung a tomato and strawberry planter on the balcony. Fingers crossed that they live through the summer.<br />
<br />
+ I got a little obsessed with sewing pillow covers this week. <br />
<br />
+ I think I ate pizza for 8 out 10 meals this week due to the fact that I was reading <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Delancey-Man-Woman-Restaurant-Marriage/dp/1451655096/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1404502127&sr=1-1&keywords=delancey">this book</a>. I love pizza.<br />
<br />
+ Deb and I went for a walk behind her apartment. It was crazy hot but we saw a baby turtle so it was worth it. Also we tried <a href="http://www.amysicecreams.com/">Amy's ice cream</a> for the first time. I had sweet cream with gingersnaps mixed in. We walked around <a href="http://www.uncommonobjects.com/">Uncommon Objects</a> together. I love how they organize the items by color. <br />

<b>This month</b>: <br />
<br />
I finally took the time to turn in my Pennsylvania license for a Texas license. I got a little sentimental while I was waiting and took a photo of my old license. I had to make two trips to the DMV that day because I forgot my car insurance forms, when I got back and was waiting to be called, I couldn't find my old license and thought I might have dropped it when I ran home to get the rest of my paperwork. It was in my pocket. Oh, how I love the exciting adventures of moving to a new state, they never seem to end. <br />
<br />

<br />
Also, Philip and I met Tara Stiles and attend her relax yoga class. I felt like a total dork talking to her before the class but she was super friendly. I really enjoyed the class and it was Philip's first time going to yoga. He told me that he had a good time and felt really relaxed when it was over. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Tools</b>:<br />
<br />
I'm still using a lot of the<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Project-Life-Becky-Higgins-Core/dp/B0095YYP94/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404333783&sr=8-1&keywords=project+life+seafoam+core+kit"> Project Life Seafoam Kit</a> because I love the colors. I used letter stickers from the dollar bin at Target and <a href="http://www.basicgrey.com/scrapbook/shop/category/embellishments">Basic Grey embellishments</a>. I need to order more from their site, I love their stickers!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have so many goals in my head all the time. I'm constantly making lists of goals for myself. Something about writing goals down on a list really motivates me to start working on them. There is so much that I want to learn about right now and I've been overwhelmed. It really helps when I make lists and keep a planner to help me to sort through all the details of getting started on a project. I'm going to keep it simple and only make five goals to work on over the next few months. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Goals:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. learn more about Photoshop</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. design my website </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. use my massive collection of fabric to make things</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. learn more about web design </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. print the hundreds of photos I have and make an album</div>
<br />
The Plan:<br />
<br />
1. I'm going to work on classes about photoshop on <a href="http://www.skillshare.com/?via=header">skillshare.</a> I'm currently working on this <a href="http://www.skillshare.com/classes/design/Basics-of-Photoshop-Fundamentals-for-Beginners/1320270520/dashboard">class</a>. <br />
<br />
2. Hopefully once I improve my photoshop and coding skills I'll be able to design an amazing website for myself.<br />
<br />
3. I just need to pull out my fabric collection and get to work sewing!<br />
<br />
4. I'm going to join <a href="http://teamtreehouse.com/">treehouse </a>to help me improve my design skills. I love that you can learn so much online while sitting in your living room with a cat on your lap. <br />
<br />
5. I have most of my old photos organized so I just need to print them and start making an album<br />
<br />
I'm sure it is going to take me some time for me to accomplish all these but just having them written down makes me feel better. <br />
<br />
+ homemade pizza dinner<br />
+ knitting<br />
+ new books in the mail<br />

A lot has been changing around here lately and it has been difficult to keep up. I'm trying to go with the flow and take one thing at a time. I like when life is slow and things are simple. I'd love to spend more time doing nothing and going nowhere. Sometimes I just need everything to slow down. At times, I can push myself too much and put a lot of pressure on myself to measure up to expectations that I created. I'm trying to let that go. I'm trying to accept myself and move on. Sometimes you just can't do it all. Sometimes you have to stop and take a moment to relax. I'm trying that out right now.<br />

Well, we left Pittsburgh. It was a crazy last few days of packing and shrink wrapping all of our stuff. Bethany came over to help me load our uhaul truck and spend my last day in Pittsburgh with me. I don't know what I would have done without her. It was not of a fun day. I was feeling unsure about leaving Pennsylvania. I loved living within driving distance to my family and I finally felt like I knew how to get around that place. sort of.<br />

The trip to Austin was kind of stressful. I think it was combo of being freaking tired from packing and having to drive in separate cars the whole way there. It was just me and the pet family. This picture is lucy cat snoozing in the front seat. There were definitely some cat fights over that coveted spot. </div>

Deb and Bill were there to help us move in to the new apartment the moment we arrived. Being the awesome amazing friends that they are. We moved everything into the apartment in no time at all. Things seemed to be moving right along. Then we spent move time in our new place and it sucked. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not great.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, we moved again. Not too far away to another much better apartment. It was a long few days but we did it. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally things are starting to feel a little settled here. We're in the new apartment and all of our boxes are unpacked. We're starting to learn our way around our new neighborhood and explore Austin. I started my new job here and Philip is lining up interviews. I can't believe how much has changed already and it is only our third week here. </div>

I have wanted to buy an album for months but I've been putting it off due to, you know, unemployment. Philip got it for me last week and I couldn't wait for it to arrive in the mail. When I spotted the giant Amazon box at the bottom of the stairs I ran to get it and open it immediately. In my excitement to tear into the box I sliced the top of my new album. womp. womp. So later in the week I bought a pack of inspirational stickers (haha) and covered up the slash mark. Ta Da!<br />

I got the Seafoam album and I love it. The color looks darker in this photo but it is a beautiful album and makes me love my project life photos even more. I'm a little excited about it to say the least.<br />

<br />
<b>This
week</b>: I spent the beginning of the week at home hanging out with my family. My mom and I tried out the Bow Flex. We made an apple pie and some homemade pizzas on my last day at home. I came home and started packing the apartment like crazy. On Friday, Bethany and I ran errands and she passed her inspection. Yay! Also, Philip made the best pumpkin and cinnamon raisin french toast while we watched the Project Runway finale. <br />

<b>Week 41</b>: October 7th to October 13th, 2013 <br />
<br />
<b>This
week</b>: I spent this week at home with my family. We went to a pumpkin patch on the weekend. We picked up pumpkins, went on a bumpy hayride, walked through the corn maze and watched the kids run around playing all afternoon, it was a great day. My mom and I also made a delicious apple pie and homemade pizzas while I was home. I love going home and spending time with my family. I'm really going to miss them so very much. I also accepted my job in Austin this week. <br />

<b>Week 39</b>: September 30th to October 6th, 2013 <br />
<br />
<b>This
week</b>: Bethany and I went on a special trip to Ohiopyle State Park so I included at special 12 picture insert of all our photos. We had such a good time walking around and checking out all the waterfalls and pretty fall leaves. <br />
<br />
Annie pup was injured at the dog park and had to wear t-shirts to protect her wound. She's feeling now. :)<br />
<br />
I continued to look for jobs and had a few interviews in Austin. I made Ben some cloth napkins for his lunch. <br />

<br />
Well, after months of searching and hours of completing online application, I have a job!! It really hasn't completely sunk in yet. Just doesn't feel real in the sense that it will actually happen and soon.<br />
<br />
Philip and I are moving to Austin, the first week of November, and starting a whole new crazy adventure. I'll be starting my job, hopefully, by the second week of November and we'll spend the rest of the month unpacking box after box after box. I'm excited and looking forward to it and also sad.<br />
<br />
It is a bittersweet to say the least.<br />
<br />
I'll be leaving behind so much, the city we've called our home for 2 year (just when I could get around without the gps yelling at me to turn around when possible) and, most important, my family. Living in Pittsburgh, we're only about 3 hours away and I could drive home pretty much any time. I hope that I'm making the right choice in leaving here. I'm still not sure. I'm trying to focus on the positive and remind myself that nothing is forever. Less than 3 years ago, I was still in Seattle and haven't even heard back from graduate school.<br />
<br />

<br />
This salad is a bunch of really good things rolled into one delicious salad.<br />
<br />
+ spring mix<br />
+ 2 tomatoes <br />
+ a few carrots<br />
+ a spoonful of guacamole<br />
+ two spoonfuls of salsa<br />
+ ranch dressing<br />
+ a Boca chicken patty<br />
<br />
I'm excited to make salads with apples this week. I am a little obsessed with honeycrisp apples. Even though they cost so much darn money, I think they're worth it! They have the perfect combination of tart and sweet. Fall is finally in Pittsburgh this week, the temperatures have dropped and you can wear a sweater without passing out from heat stroke. <br />
<br />
Things I want to make this fall:<br />
<br />
+ salted rice krispie treats<br />
+ vegetarian pot pie<br />
+ pumpkin donuts <br />
<br />
