Pretty Package Exhange {update}

A while back I posted about the pretty package exchange hosted by oh, hello friend. I didn't realize at the time I signed up that I would be in the midst of moving home for two weeks and then moving into my apartment. It was a crazy time! I looked at the calendar, and realized it was time to send my package. After seeing all of the packages on the flickr group, I wish I had been able to put more time into my package :( I kept calling my mom to see if my package had arrived, and the other day she said it had. I was so excited, but I'm living an hour and a half away from my family and it was going to be a while until I got the package. Luckily, my brother went to a concert in Chicago with his friend and stopped at home on his way back. He was nice enough to bring me my package and I picked it up from him this morning! I was so excited to open it!!

My partner, Erinn, from Clear Pink did an amazing job! Thank you so much :)

Ohh senior year, I love you already

I moved into my apartment on Monday.

I.LOVE.IT.

I have lived in the dorms the previous three years, and I've had enough of them! It's so nice to be able to decorate and have a full kitchen. Once we get things settled, I will take some pics and post them on here. I think it will end up pretty cute.

On a different topic, before summer school was over, I went fishing with some friends at Lake Monroe. We got up super early (5ish AM!) and drove around forever trying to find a spot to go fishing. We ended up having to stop at a little gas station to ask where we could find a public dock to fish off of. We didn't end up catching any fish, but it was sooo much fun.

Furniture DIY

I l-o-v-e turning old furniture into cute, new, modern looking furniture. Although I've only done one project, I have quite a few ideas for future projects. If I didn't already have a desk for my apartment, I would definitely add this desk DIY project to the list!

Coupons and their best accessory: coupon book!

I am going to have to act like a grown up soon when I move into my apartment. This means clipping coupons. If you know me, you know I can't just have a plain coupon holder! I am loving this coupon holder I found at Laa766's etsy shop.
