Yvonne's package finally arrived on Friday, and to celebrate I took everything to my friend Naz's house this weekend for our girl's day by the pool:
It was such a fun package, I love the magazines, and it was so great to practice my Dutch. I may not be so good at speaking it anymore, but I can read it and understand almost everything. And she made an adorable pincushion, which coincidentely matches my website, and I love love love the little pouch in my favorite-linen! The bird embroidery is so sweet. Thanks Yvonne! I hope this is the first of many swaps!
Also poolside, a self-portrait:
Feet! I love going barefoot. My shoes always come off when I get home.
The other cause for celebration by the pool? I got the job! I am now the official Technical Writer at my company. I started today, although I will be going back and forth for a little while to train my replacement when they find one. I'm so excited, this is such an amazing oppurtunity for me. My brain is tired tonight, though, from all the information I have to absorb. I only have two more days with the consultant that has been doing the technical writing and then she will be gone and I will be all on my own. Gulp!
