What A Week.

What a week. Between Jacob and I, we have:
Been sick/tired (allergies)
Cried because the house is a mess and we have no time to clean
Had a teacher yell at me
Been stuck in sucky classes (I know understand why people drop out of community college)
Gotten a flat tire
Identified a newly discovered gluten intolerance
Been in a car accident leading to a potential car sale going down the drain
Dropped an iPhone in the sink (aka... dead).

But, because I'm trying to be a glass half full kind of girl:
Everyone was okay in the car accident and it wasn't Jacob's fault, so the other insurance is paying for everything!
We got our first wedding present in the mail!
We are signing a lease for an apartment in Boston!
Jacob doesn't have celiac, only an intolerance!
I qualify for an iPhone upgrade in June!
We had a great date night on Wednesday!
I wrote all my thank you notes for my wonderful bridal shower on Sunday!
I got more financial aid from Harvard!
I tried on my dress yesterday!
Lauren and Matt are getting married this weekend!
We get to see all of our wonderful friends on Saturday!

See, all that good totally outweighs the bad. Plus, I found a great idea to do for the cardbox/guestbook table, which means I get to do another craft project!

My new idea:

(except without all the hydrangeas on the bottom, but you can see the hanging votive concept)

Basically one manzanita branch, some freeze dried orchids, a wooden box, some plaster of paris, and some moss. I'll probably cover the wooden box with some fabric- I have some chocolate brown dupioni silk that would look really pretty. Maybe I'll add some hanging crystals or some hanging votive candles if I'm feeling particularly sassy next week when I make it. The bummer about living in a small town is that I have to order everything, so I can't be crafty right away... maybe it's a sign I should vacuum and dust.

Only 1 more day left in this week!
