no time..

It's been a month since we got back from Armenia however i made only one post about it. There were just too many photos to take care of, and on the other hand life has been extremely hectic up to today.

this post is just an update on what was going on with my life and what following posts will be about.

first of all, after we got back we started looking for a place to move. we were planning to be moved on 1st of november. also there was a halloween party coming up.

we found a place (which is our new home) that was absolutely gorgeous! it's a condo, with 2 bathrooms, and a gas fireplace. it has 2 bedrooms one of which is turning into my office-crafting space :D. Here's a quick link to the whole apartment complex http://www.forrent.com/apartment-community-profile/1000005983.php . i would take photos and upload them now but some stuff is still in boxes and we are planning to get some new furniture soon, and we need to pick some of my photos for me to make big prints and put on walls. in one word - the photos will be later, once everything is completely set up.

Now the Halloween party took place on 24th of Oct. we decorated the whole place and the party was absolutely great! i was dressed as a ladybug ( :)) ) and Michael was a pirate. the photos are on my facebook album and flickr (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=36037&id=1073925241&l=2acbca2e74)

Also, an other exciting thing that happened was a trip to Pittsburgh, PA. That's where Michael went to college. he took me there and showed around and i must say it was huge! then we went on a boat ride from Carnegie science center. there was a trade district with a lot of stores where people of different nationalities were selling all kinds of stuff. Pittsburgh was beautiful - i loved it. on the way back we stopped at Ikea store and it was fun! now we're thinking of getting some things from there :))

ok what else? oh yeah i got a new hobby - painting on glass. it's really fun and amazing and i actually really like the results :D the cool thing is after you let the paint dry for 24 hours you throw it into the oven and bake for 40 mins. After that you can even put the glass in a dishwasher - it won't ruin the paint. i was taking some photos of what i made today but i'm not done yet..

Also i went on a photo hike with Kirk and took lots of foliage photos. and that's what i'm working on now.

so all in all, i think i'll just go on with my life and make current posts and then once in a while post some photos from the wedding and write about how we spent time in Armenia :)
