My apologies for the lack of updates. School has been hectic and one of my best friends was in town for a week before he had to go back to South Carolina for the Marines. The good news is, in May, he's being transferred to Miramar which is only an hour away.
Yesterday, I went to the first wedding of a friend I've known for a while. I've been to a family wedding before, and while it was a nice ceremony, there's nothing like seeing a good friend marry a great guy. I've known Devon for almost 20 years, or...as long as I can remember and we've grown up together and to see her get married to a guy who will make her happy and hopefully be with her for the rest of her life was a great moment. The ceremony was beautiful - it was held outdoors - and the weather cooperated as we've had rain the last two weekends, but it was beautiful yesterday. After the ceremony and cocktails on the patio, we went inside where all the standard hoopla commenced. It was a great party and I wish the best to Devon and Sten for years to come.
On another note, the frame on my new room went up this last week and yesterday before the wedding, I went out and took some measurements. With the measurements in hand, I downloaded a trial copy of SmartDraw Suite Edition - which is a fabulous piece of software - and got to laying out my room. Once the basics were mapped out (walls, closets, doors), I put in the desk, the bed, the dresser and the DVD case and then got to putting in the variable pieces of furniture - TV stand, desk, sofa, etc. The room is just over 350 sq. ft. so I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with it, but here's the layout I came up with this morning (changes happen by the minute). And...wherever it says Peg-Lok, that's the system of shelving linked below which I absolutely love.
