some lovely mumbo jumbo.

love the colors in this small kitchen!

small but stylish!

what you ask? what is going on with us? well alot. b-dog has a 'big' presentation today, where he proposes to the school his research. the whole school is invited, but about 20-30 people come, professors, other graduate students whoever wants. this is a nerve-racking experience, he presents his work with a presentation, then people ask questions. this he is ready for, he is just worried about the presentation, although it is very interesting. i am excited for him, and know that he will do well. he can explain himself well. and i am proud of him. he works really hard, he even has 4.0 gradepoint average. you rock be-dog! then we have decided to move to really really small student housing. we will be able to only pick and choose what we take with us and it won't be much, but it is saving us money, alot of money, we will be living within the stipend he gets. we will be right by the school. it is a safe area, an area that has my favorite walking running routes. so this i am excited for. i am excited for the challenge of moving and making the place work and fit only what we need. i love design challenges and i know i can make it cool. the living room however is very very small. but i feel safe to go outside with bella and we have a little courtyard that is gated. which is nice. we will be moving right before the baby is born. this is something i am a little nervous about. bella is getting big, she loves to do everything by herself with no help. yesterday she ate a pear, she ate the entire pear, with juice running down her arms, mouth and chin, and she would shut her eyes while taking a bite, in heaven! sometimes life seems like nothing is happening, then you realize life is happening!
