Ch-Ch-Changes

Entire outfit: Thrifted. Dress- $9. Shoes- $25. Viva Value Village!

So, lots of changes are happening around here, both online and in real life.  Basically, I'm pretty damn excited for the future.

In my real life, I'm MOVING!!!  This is pretty exciting for me, because for the past couple years my apartment has been "interesting" to say the least.  Check my Apartment Bullshit files for a couple stories there...

We began moving things in this past Saturday, only to be stopped by the resident jerk maintenance worker who had a list of rules as to moving.  Only 2 hours, not on Sundays or past 7 pm, booking elevators, etc.  I'd gladly respect his rules if he didn't come across as so condescending.  It must've been my Communist hat I was wearing.  That's it, right??  Anyways, this will be entertaining fo sho.

And if you haven't taken a wild guess yet, I'm moving in with Raimund.  Whoa, getting serious up in here!  He's a great guy and this step, albeit quick, feels right.  We practically live together anyways at my place, but felt his apartment was better.  No shitty noisy neighbours (thank science for concrete buildings!), Ben still gets his own BIGGER room, there's a beautiful courtyard, swimming pool, work out room, and fantastic view of downtown.  Don't believe me?  Take a peek:


Awesomeness all around.  I can't to live there full time.  Eeep!

Other changes around here will be on the blog.  After much thought, I've decided to re-name my blog and give it a slight face-lift.  

But Erin, why would you do that?

Good question, glad you asked bud.  Basically, I feel like "My Beautiful Disaster" was the old me, and because of that I feel slightly stuck.  Ambition to post is waning and this is one of my favourite hobbies, so something needs to change.  As well, Raimund caught the blog bug and wants to write on here too, so I thought why not?  He keeps me entertained and together we're...delightful?  Interesting?  You'll be the judge.  We're also thinking of starting up an Etsy shop of our prints.  The sky is endless here, folks.  I'm hoping the new blog launch will be July 1, but with moving we'll see how it goes.

So, those are my two big changes right now.  When I'm not packing I'm doing design work.  When I'm not doing that I'm busy with my real job or Benji.  Busy busy busy.

Anything new with you guys?  I have so many blogs to catch up on and discover.  Blogging via iPhone isn't exactly ideal.  Sigh.

Later gators!

I think it's pretty natural to change your blog when you change your outlook on life! Congratulations on all the positive changes Erin. :)

Congrats on Moving!

It's always work to get packed and move into a new place, but it is also so thrilling.

I can't wait to see what you re-name the blog and the new face lift you'll give it.
Opening an etsy for your prints sounds like another great idea.
Looks like things are going well, and I am so happy for you :)

Aww Erin, everything sounds so perfect! Congrats on your new place, moving in with your love and all the new changes coming up.

I totally know what you mean about wanting to change your blog name/look, etc. Sometimes you just need that. Good luck and I can't wait to see the new blog and posts from the two of you!

After I made some life changes and things starting going wonderfully for me I changed my first name... I just wasn't that 'other' person anymore. Anyways, all that to say I get the blog name change. Well, I am super excited to see all the new changes.

Ahhh! Congratulations on all fronts. Exciting business up in your world. A cute VV outfit, a new apartment with a POOL!!!, a new blog name, a new blog layout, and an Etsy shop. Holy moly. That's enough new things to keep you busy and enthusiastic for a good month, if not two or three!

It's great to hear things are so exciting and wonderful in your world.
