WooHoo! It's the little things in life that truly excite me :)  haha

Speaking of exciting things in life....

Love you all.  Thank you visiting.  It means so much to have you here :)

My Saturday :)

 I went "comfy casual" today since I was doing work at home all day!
Top, Cardigan, and Jeans- The LOFT
Linen Shoes- Rocketdog



Work on my Senior Seminar continues.....

To Begin...coffee is a cookin' :) (Turned out not to be a good idea considering I was hand-drafting) Luckily it is only schematic so it is supposed to be "sketchy"

3:50pm- I begin drafting!


5:50pm- Half way complete with the walls...tired...


7:15pm- Walls Complete! Doesn't look like much but believe me, the space is huge and this is in 1/8" scale.
9:20pm- First Floor Plan- Complete!  WooHoo!

9:30pm- Blogging Break!

9:33pm- The work continues....

My LIFE for the next 9 weeks....

SENIOR SEMINAR!!!  Here is what I have been staring at for the last 2 weeks, 14 hours a day! 

7,000 Sq Ft. home with a 17,000 Sq. Ft. Addition on the back!  Sounds fun huh?!? Did I mention I have 9 weeks to complete the entire project!? 

Here is the Original site plan.  The home is on a HUGE plot of land.  Their will be a large ropes course in the back corner.  The "little" part in the middle is the 7,000 Sq. Ft. existing home.

Here is the home with the addition... The front is the existing, and the 17,000 Sq. Ft. Conference center attached to the back. 

Some exterior elevations of the existing home. 

All of this is only Preliminary designs that I have been working on for the last 2 weeks!  I will keep you updated on this monstrosity! 

 This is what is getting me through :)
LOTS AND LOTS OF COFFEE!!!  This girl runs on Dunkin Turbo! :)

Send up some prayers for me :)

Happy Lady!

I know your wondering to yourself..."where's Court been?"- Ok, I KNOW that is not what you've been thinking...but what can I say...I've missed you!

This is what I have been up to....
My handsome fella came to visit me for a looong weekend :)  He came down Friday night and will be here until early Wednesday morning.  He officially finished at his old job Thursday and has the next week off before he starts his new job on Feb. 28th!  I couldn't be happier about his new job, but I wish he could stay foreva! 

We have also been celebrating our 4 year Anniversary while he is here.  FOUR AMAZING Years together.  (Post on that to come!)

Love ya,
C

OCD: Organize, Create & Design (Part1)

This gal LOVES to ORGANIZE!
I decided I am going to start a series on how I organize various parts of my life.  My hope is that others will get some new ideas for themselves as well as share your own organizing tips and ideas.

Part 1- My T-SHIRT Drawer

This system has simplified my life and when my t-shirts couldn't fit otherwise, they fit beautifully now and are especially easy to take in and out.  

The second great thing about it is no matter what size the t-shirt is, (folded correctly) they will all result in the same size. 
    The ones I am pointing at are Nick's gigantic shirts
and you can see that they appear no larger than mine...


Can you tell I am a college student?! haha, and I have multiple of the same shirt because my University often gives shirts out for free.  (My school is more like Disney Land than a University).

I would love to hear what you all think...& see how you organize your home! :)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
