I got THE Email from my potential employer for the graphic design position and I actually didn't get it. It turns out there were a lot more applicants than I thought. Honestly, I don't really feel bad. After interviewing and going through the whole process I had decided that I didn't really want to work for them. (they weren't really on the ball and I'll be honest...really nerdy (!) ..forgive me) I have been doing a lot of stuff for Andrew's work and my work in the mean-time and have really enjoyed it. So, I might just "free-lance" it for a while and see if it goes anywhere and next time I see a job opening I will take another stab at it. (I say FREE lance, because I have been doing it all for free, but I guess doing it for Andrew's work will probably come back to me in some form or another) I am starting to learn how to edit and put together movies now too, so I am pretty excited about that.
On a side note, we finally got a dresser. Yes, after being married 1.5 yrs we decided to invest in a dresser. This has actually been quite the ordeal, I have been looking on KSL for dressers for quite a while and Andrew keeps shutting them down, I want to go cheap and of course Andrew doesn't. I didn't care really what it looked like or if it was real wood, I just didn't want to keep using the bins under the bed anymore (not easily organized). SO, after Andrew shot down my 3rd attempt at picking up a dresser I told him that if we didn't get that one that we were going to go and buy a new one right now. Thankfully he went for it and we went to Down East Outfitters, which is an outlet store here in Logan and we got a beautiful Pottery Barn Dresser for half the price, of course there are minor flaws, but completely worth putting up with in order to pay half.
I will be adding a picture later, so look forward to it!
It looks great in my room and this morning, I opened the drawer for the first time and found exactly what I wanted on my very first try...I had such a big bin under the bed that pretty much everything got mixed after 1 morning of searching in the dark.

That's cool you got a new one. The frame on mine is made of real wood, but the drawers are made of that really light, fake-wood material, and the drawers have been hammered back together twice and the bottoms are falling out again - I can't even get the drawers to open sometimes, it's about 25 years old (my parents had it before I was born!) and I think my name is scratched into the ever-disappearing paint somewhere (I know, a painted dresser that ought to be good right). I guess what I'm trying to say, I could use a new one too!
I didn't realize you were stashing clothes under your bed all this time...what a pain! I am glad you have an actual drawer for clothes now. These kind of things do make you appreciate the simple things in life.
Good find! Can't wait to see the pic.
When Scott and I got married we invested in some furniture that we really liked because we figure we will be keeping it for a really really long time, & we will definitly get our money out of it.
Sorry about the job - but, ConGraTs about the dresser. It's amazing how much you appreciate the little things when you go without them for a while. I'll look forward to the picture. I think you'll be glad that if you are going to spend the money to spend a little more and get something that will last. I love Pottery Barn. :)
Guess that job wasn't for you. But The DRESSER was! I love organizers!
