Life Lately

My besties Hannah (left) and Kim (right) today. Got together before Hannah and Justin move out to California! WHAT?! Crazy kids. 

My business cards make my new job feel so legit.

John and I went to Penn State for Hannahs Graduation.

Oh yeah and I TOTALLY CHOPPED 5 inches from my hair!

It has been awhile since I posted last. I just loose track of time these days. Having a steady 5 days a week 9-5 job will do that to you I guess! I try to make every weekend count now since I can't do too much during the week when I get home from work. Not much has changed really, life is the same, John and I both have the same schedule, he get home in time for dinner, I cook said dinner. I know we can't avoid falling into a routine during the week, however I am trying to make the most of any free time we have together, wether it be going to the gym or out to eat. 

We had the pleasure of going to Penn State for my friend Hannah's graduation a few weeks back so that was a fun trip! This weekend we went to the city with her and our friends before her and our friend Justin move out to California together. We are starting a vacation fund so we can go out and visit them. There are a lot of places I have been meaning to have John and I visit in the future like California or my sister in Italy. It is just rough to save up money when you live in NY! 

Now I am just trying to set goals for myself now that my school life is pretty much over and now real life has begun. I want to experience more and to not like anything hold me back. Hopefully I can do that with some new fun things to share on this blog next time!

Sincerely,

Naina

Spring is in the air!

IS IT APRIL ALREADY?!

Time really does fly! John and I have been married for half a year now. WHAT? MY WEDDING WAS 6 MONTHS AGO!? Anyways, life has been one big blessing lately. I got a new job and have been rocking it. I even got a new computer (the one they had was running too slow). I love it so far and have been learning a lot about design and getting better as a designer every day. I also officially quit my waitressing/bartender job. WAAA HOOOOO! The best part is that John gets home an hour after I do so we have been able to have dinner every night together like an old fashioned american family and I love it! We wake up and go to sleep at the same time too so to me that is just amazing considering the amount of times I would come home late from working at a restaurant to find John out cold and not being able to talk about our days or spend time together. Having the weekends off has its benefits too! I get to spend time with my niece and nephew pretty often now, I even went to visit my sister in williamsburg one weekend.

The 9-5 Monday through Friday gig is one I can get use to ;). 

Up till now, John and I have always been focused on what is next, our goals and now we are finally where we want to be! We have our own place, we got married, and now we both have careers. Sure we want children and a house but right now I feel so content with life. We are right where we want to be, I like that I am finally at a place where I am just enjoying life and living day by day instead of constantly working towards something. Of course it is nice to have goals and of course we are constantly saving for the future, but as least now we are just in a great new phase in our lives and I am just going to kick back and enjoy it.

Today I became a Graphic Designer

I started my new job today as a Graphic Designer. I was interning and working my butt off when they hired me in the middle of my internship. It really goes to show that hard work pays off. So far I really like what I do. I never look at the clock and think to myself "when will this day end!?!" instead I am thinking "do I have enough time to start the next project?!?!?!". Crazy I know, but I love it. I love the programs I use, the creativity, its just part of me. This desk looks a little empty now but in time I plan on filling that wall behind my computer with completed projects someday. Heres to the start of my career!

Sincerely,
Naina
