new adventures...all the time.

So, my life changes from day to day. I was in Switzerland for the Holidays with Nathan and it was soooo nice. Now I am back in Mesa with Anne and fam until Nathan graduates in May. Yes, May! I am sooo excited. Finally, we will be able to live together permanently and not just for 3 month stints at a time (due to Swiss immigration law). Nathan is already beginning the process of looking for a job. It is kind of exciting. He is really excited to be done with school, he's been in some kind of college or internship for the last 10 years and he is really ready to be done with it all and just work doing what he loves...architecture. We have no idea where we'll be living by the end of this year. We are kind of hoping Nathan gets a job in Switzerland. It's a nice place to live and there are some great architecture offices. Plus the earning potential here is at least double what is in the US. So, Switzerland is our #1 choice. Then there are some offices in Paris or London that he is looking at as well and then maybe even stateside in New York, Boston or Seattle. It's pretty certain we'll be living in some big city somewhere.

In the meantime, I am hanging out with my sister Anne and her family, failing at finding temporary employment and having a lot of fun. Anne and I started a new blog called Wearing Walmart. We decided that we wanted to share with the world the hilarity of Walmart fashion and other odds and ends. Now, not everything at Walmart is all that bad, but sometimes it is really bad and funny. So, if you want to see some really embarrasing pictures of Anne and I, check it out. We've also been maintaing our vintage clothing store on Etsy called Fashion Redemption. My teenage nieces are the models and they do a fantastic job.
Anyway, here is a sweet little pic of Anne and I from our new website. Enjoy!

Meg, I have been reading your Walmart blog since you started announcing your posts on facebook, and I have to say, it is pretty hilarious! I'm glad to hear that Nathan will be done with school soon and wish you both the best in job hunting!

I vote for NYC or London! Our best bets for ever having the opportunity to live near one another :)

Glad to see things are going well for you two!

Thanks Megan! And Jazzy, I would love to be your neighbor in NYC! I actually did think that when Nathan was mentioning that his #1 office choice has an office in Basel and a satelite office in NYC. We are hoping he gets a job with this firm and then we can transfer to their NYC office in a couple years. We'll see!

I know how hard it is to only be able to be with your spouse for a certain amount of time and then be apart for a long while. I'm glad that you're having fun with Anne and her family, you two crack me up, it's great! It'll be exciting to find out where you and Nathan end up eventually. I'm always excited to find out where our next duty station will be. Hang in there! xxoo

Your wearing Walmart blog makes me happy. If you are looking for somewhere to live, might I vote for Dallas, TX. It's a great city with great jobs, amazing shopping and a plethora of blog fodder... Just a suggestion :)
