art and everyday life

change April 20, 2009

A lot of things are changing right now.

In 5 days Mat and I will be moving out of Toronto. In a few weeks we’ll be graduating from University with philosophy degrees, and next week I’ll be starting a new job with Youth Unlimited!

Therefore, it only seems right to be starting a new blog.

With the help of a good friend, you can continue to read about these changes and all the little art projects I do a long the way at:

www.sweetlimedesign.blogspot.com

My hope is also to use this blog to sell and make designer cards for those seeking invitations for various things like weddings or showers etc. I would also like to document our lives for all those to see as we travel this path set before us by God.

Thank you for reading here at 24photos, and I hope you will continue to read at sweetlimedesign

 

___ & counting. April 7, 2009

Wow.

April came so subtly.

It hit me the other day when I needed to flip the page on my calendar.

It’s here.

Even the outdoors have seemed to have changed for April.

(note the OPEN window)

April really is here.

That means there are only days now between us and the inevitable move.

There are so many things I’m just not prepared to say goodbye to.

Our Kitchen

With all its little nick knacks and mementos that we’ve starred at day after day preparing meals….and thats another thing we’ll miss…

…preparing meals for friends and family. Now, we generally do serve more than a boiled egg, but it was all I had in the fridge!

(It was also expired to, but I ate it anyway.)

I’ll miss our friends popping all the little treats we leave out into their mouths, knowing that there is no need to ask if they can have one.

I’ll miss our southwestern decor while its in storage, it makes me happy and warm just looking at it.

I’ll miss our little cactus’ in our one big window.

(I hope they’ll survive the move)

And of course I’ll miss this little guy

(and his fan club)

However, I am looking forward to:

My new job with Youth Unlimited (Youth for Christ)

Continuing the house hunt, to find that one place that we can welcome our friends and family into.

Reconnecting with old and semi-old friends.

Getting involved with the church again and finding a way to best serve there.

Hooking up with the scrapbooking community that is thriving in Quinte West.

Looking into classes to take on the side, like cake decorating, photography.

Investing time and energy into starting our own small businesses (in photography and hopefully card making).

Starting our own family.

It’s sad to leave, but exciting to go.

But did April have to come to quickly?
