High Five for Friday

Woo Hoo! The weekend is here. I don't much planned in the exciting department but I do in the home department. Anyway... linking up with Lauren today.


Here's what was great about this past week:



ONE. New Job.
I started a new job! I haven't had a job in over a year and it feels great to be back working somewhere. I am now a paid photographer and videographer of ... vehicles. Yay for product photography! I think there are a couple things that helped me get this job 1) I had a marketing internship with Stuff (an awesome little shop in Brookside, Kansas City, MO) where I did product photography (thanks Casey and Sloane!) and 2) I'm good on the phone. My "interview" was via phone and I actually have phone skills (thanks mom and dad for teaching us). Anyway, the pay is awesome and hours are completely flexible. Score!



TWO. Soul Mate.
I got to marry mine. He's my best friend, my soul mate, and my husband. He knows when we just need to go out or when it's a good time to cuddle up and stay in. He knows how to make my laugh and get my irritated in a second (but I love him anyway... ;).

THREE. Spotted Poppy.
Things are getting done for Spotted Poppy! More product photography. Yay!

FOUR. Cooking.
I haven't really cooked in a while and it was nice to get back to it last night. Last night was a cauliflower based alfredo sauce. Tonight, homemade beef and broccoli! Here is the link if you're interested ... Cauliflower Sauce



FIVE. Warmth.
We have a heater, a wood burning stove, warm clothes, blankets, and hot water. Plus, it's Christmas time. It's always cozier at Christmas. 

And here is my remake of Carol of the Bells ...

Weekend is here

Bringing us cheer

That's it. That's all I've got.

How was your week? I hope that you are able to find and appreciate the little things that make life great.

High Five for Friday

Hive Five for Friday!!!!

Man, it's been a while since I've done this series, but it's time I get back to it.

ONE. Big Life Decisions

Mike and I made the final decision to move back to California. I'm very excited, very calm, and a little nervous. Our families are out there and we have missed them so. I can't wait to spend precious time with them!

TWO. Support

I have been so blessed by the out pouring of support from friends, family and acquaintances. You all rock! After I was fired and you all found out, BOOM!, texts, messages, comments, phone calls and personal visits. And then, after Mike and I decided to move back to Cali, BOOM!, all of you making sure we are being reasonable and then stepping up to offer help with the whole moving process. You ROCK and we LOVE you!

THREE. Possible Job Opportunities

Mike is already moving forward in the application process with a company in Cali. I am supposed to have an interview via Skype at some point.

FOUR. Leisure Time

With not working this last week comes slow mornings to spend with coffee and Jesus. Perfection.

FIVE. Cooking

I haven't really gotten to cook on a semi regular basis in quite some time. I have really enjoyed being able to cook and find recipes on Pinterest. Yummy!

I'm linking up with Lauren @ From My Grey Desk. You should link up too!
