Life Updates and New Apartment Decorating

Hello All! My apologies for the lack of crafting posts of recent. Life has been BUSY. Here's a little update:

I succeeding in achieving my dream by matching into dermatology at an amazing residency program - U of MN! 

 

 I spent a ton of time planning and then going on a fabulous 3 1/2 week whirlwind trip through Europe!

Making new Bavarian friends in Munich at Augustiner Beer Hall
Crepes in the Latin Quarter of Paris
Hiking the Cinque Terre, Italy with my mom
 I graduated from medical school - hello long white coat! 
My fantastic mentors, Drs Zyniewicz and Welch
We did it!
I moved to (Pure) Michigan for my Transitional Year internship and completed my first month of intern year!

Kayaking with friends in Ann Arbor
Kruse Beach in Muskegon


 

I've started hiking at tons of parks around Grand Rapids
Hiking with a Meet-Up at PJ Hoffmaster State Park

I am living in a cozy (that's European for tiny) downtown studio and I love being able to walk to work and activities all over town. My small space, however, does not allow much room for refinishing furniture or larger projects so my upcoming projects will be smaller. Before moving in, I decided to live light since I will only be here for a year - as in small, light furniture, a downsized wardrobe, etc. My parents had some extra rattan furniture in the basement so I decided to refresh it with some new fabric.
