experiencing...
You may already know this if we're Facebook friends, but I recently switched jobs. I'm now back to doing strictly interior design; no more construction. It's a lot of huge switches: small firm to large company, loaded with lots of tasks to focused on one task, mostly friends my age & place in life to ...well, not. It's been a transition that was more difficult than I would have expected, just in terms of my own emotions. But it was a great step for me and my career, so no regrets!

My Pandora station has been set on Kari Jobe, who is a Christian artist with a gorgeous voice. Most of the content it pushes out is soothing and serene, which is just what I've needed.

The job change has also forced me to focus on things I haven't, mostly the furniture and interiors world. I've been reading more about ergonomics, architecture companies, emerging technology that might need incorporated into offices, etc.
planning...
For fun, I'm planning our annual Halloween bash. Pinterest has been a popular app on my phone as I look up new fall recipes to try and decor projects. My goal is to do only Dollar Tree DIY's and create some glamorously haunting scenes.
wearing...
Fall weather is teasing us here in central Indiana. We will have a day or two of cooler weather, and I'll pull out all my sweaters and jackets, then 80 degree weather will show up for another week. I'm really not a fan of it. I'm ready for fall to come and stay. The only thing that has remained consistent? This ring called Maylee by Stella & Dot. I've seriously worn it nearly every day the last couple of months.

I briefly mentioned under the "experiencing" category that things have been a bit difficult the last month whilst transitioning into this new job. Several other personal things transitioned at the same time, leaving me kind of a wreck. Trying to juggle life is difficult enough, but when there are so many moving targets at once, you just kind of find yourself shuffling back and forth like a game of Pong. At least, that's the way I feel.
looking forward to...
Because of all of this change, I'm ready to shake this feeling of "newness". This autumn is going to be a time for settling down, enjoying the season, and getting refreshed. The huz and I have come up with the perfect way to refresh and I'll be blogging about that more later in the month.
