Life is just chugging along, isn't it? I've been auditioning a lot more lately (in fact, I have one tomorrow!), have nice new headshots... have been moving along with the wedding, and am working a little bit each day on moving!
First, my favorites out of the new headshots. Many thanks to
David Carlson!
My absolute favorite is the jumping one. I don't care if I can't use it that often. I love it.
Now! On to the new apartment. Yes. We found one. It's fabulous. It costs only a little more than what we're currently paying and it's...
- Bigger
- Sans Roommates
- Did I mention it's just us? Without roommates?????
Yeah. And it still has a view. And a balcony. And we can get a pet. OK, so just a cat.. but someone else in the building has TWO bull terriers and I think the manager looks the other way. Oh, and did I mention it's RENT CONTROLLED? Bwahahahahahahahaha. I'm sorry, was I bragging about my most awesome find of the century? Yeah? TOO BAD! I worked really freaking hard to find the best place possible, and this is a total win. We didn't time our move out too well and will end up paying a little on both places this month in pro-rated rent, but we're enjoying the leisurely move. We're looking forward to officially beginning our living there and painting! :-) Oh! And it's right down the street from our current place and we already love the hood and know the parking situation!

| living room with fabulous screened-in balcony! |
 |
| View from dining area. Wait... we have a dining area now???? |
 |
| HOLY SHIT! Is that a vintage kitchen? YES IT IS!!! |
 |
| I'm sorry, did you say your new place was RENT CONTROLLED????? |
 |
| Wow... look at that laminate wood flooring in your ENTRYWAY! |
 |
| What adorable little French doors and separate oven you have! |
 |
| I'm sorry, is that a LINEN closet AND a COAT closet? |
 |
| OK, so I'm still not sure how I feel about the separate tub/bath... |
 |
| ...but will you look at all that counter space? Yes. I don't care how ugly the top is... |
 |
| Bedroom. Your closet is about two feet longer than our current. What will I do with all your space? |
|
|
Yeah. I'm positively giddy. Our bedroom has a nice big window, too. I positively can't wait to paint and decorate and get everything moved in. It's just a pile of boxes at the moment and we're still living out of our old space. We have to find a fridge and I thought I found something great on Craigslist, but the seller backed out last minute. GRUMP!
FINALLY.... Jake's ring! He chose to have a thumb ring because of comfort and because it's a reference to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He works with his hands/fingers on a daily basis and isn't used to wearing jewelry. I think a thumb ring looks cooler and is an awesome compromise since I didn't think I could talk him into a ring in the first place.
We had it made by the same goldsmith who did mine and I think it looks INCREDIBLE!
It's inspired by a vintage airplane wing and I love the industrial, cobbled together look! And Jake is absolutely in LOVE with it! The textures vary throughout the ring, and I can't wait to post some more pictures of it, but I had to snag this one while he slept!!!
Oddly enough, some people have objected more to the fact that he's wearing it before the wedding than the fact that it's a thumb ring! My engagement ring and wedding band are one and the same, why can't he enjoy it too?
