AmyluvsTrees: Things I'll Miss
http://amyluvstrees.blogspot.com/2015/02/things-i-miss.html
February 8, 2015. Just doing some more writing to get the thoughts out of my head and onto paper. I am having such a hard time sleeping so I'm back at it. Maybe this will help since I've in a selfish phase of mourning. Things I'll miss about Grandma Lu:. 2 Doing the dishes for her and fighting about it every time. 3 My birthday dinners. 4 She will never get to see my house again. 5 Doing yard work together. 6 Eating Portillos together. 7 She won't get to see me get married or have kids. Working on loving...

AmyluvsTrees: January 2015
http://amyluvstrees.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
January 28, 2015. When I moved into my new house, I had a friend repaint the entire thing and all of it was done in earth tones. That would include my master bathroom. The bathroom was painted a shade of tan, which at the time was exactly what I wanted! So with some help of my wonderful mother, I decided to spice up the room. I started with the main wall looking like this. Yep, that would be a big, tan wall with nothing on it. SO boring! YESSSS. I love the different textures with the metal heart, the...

AmyluvsTrees: November 2013
http://amyluvstrees.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
November 17, 2013. Mortgages and escrows and short sales. I can't believe it has almost been a year since I bought my first house! Well, I'll be clear, it's not like I threw down a couple G's and bought the house outright, I put down my down payment and signed the papers on November 28, 2012. Let me tell you, sitting in a room with my real estate lawyer and real estate agents was a big "grown up" moment for me. I didn't even ask my parents to come along! From there, time was on fast forward. I found ...

AmyluvsTrees: August 2014
http://amyluvstrees.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
August 23, 2014. What do I want to do? A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to apply for an opening in in my department at work. It would have been a step up from where I am currently. I went through the entire interview process and felt extremely confident about getting the job. Of course, ignorance is bliss and I was not offered the position. Talk about feeling like second best. What do I do? I chainsaw trees and pull weeds. Thrilling. What can I do now to change the path I am currently going down?

AmyluvsTrees: September 2014
http://amyluvstrees.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
September 1, 2014. Online Garage Sales - My new addiction. I have recently stumbled on a new addiction. It's called online garage sale-ing. A friend of mine was talking about a Facebook garage sale group in his town. I was curious and searched for a group in my town. I found one! And then another. And another. I am currently in 8 garage sale groups from towns around me! I can't stop checking the pages! But to be fair, I have found some pretty good deals. Come on a tour with me! These chairs fold up and c...

AmyluvsTrees: February 2015
http://amyluvstrees.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
February 21, 2015. I've been having trouble sleeping lately, so that results in me being on Pinterest during some very strange hours! I can't stop finding fun little house projects every time I'm on there. The only problem. I don't have a lot of extra money to throw around on cutesy projects like these. I do want to save up to do one of them. but which one do you think? 1 Super cute garden hose holder. So I would really like to get it off the ground with something like this. 4 Garbage can cabinet. In my ...

AmyluvsTrees: You're an angel
http://amyluvstrees.blogspot.com/2015/02/youre-angel.html
February 6, 2015. It has been a very terrible few weeks. Actually it has been a terrible 16 months. I lost my dearest Grandma Dot in September 2013. My sweet Grandpa Joe in February 2014. Shannon's mom in July 2014. And in January, my feisty Grandma Lu lost her battle with cancer. January 18 2015. Whoa, sorry. But it's the truth, that's how I felt. She passed away the day before my first appointment. So that's what I'm trying to do here. You, the reader, don't know that I have had to stop twice and s...

AmyluvsTrees: Student Career Day
http://amyluvstrees.blogspot.com/2015/03/student-career-day.html
March 7, 2015. I was invited to speak at a local landscape/horticulture conference last week as a panelist for the student career section of the conference. How did that happen? Well, I'll tell you! I applied to teach a class at a local college as an adjunct horticulture professor. The class I signed up to teach did not go because there weren't enough students enrolled. But to keep me involved, this college invited me to be part of the panel they were creating for the conference. I felt super official wh...

AmyluvsTrees: March 2015
http://amyluvstrees.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
March 16, 2015. Can't sleep again. I laid down knowing that I was so tired that sleep would probably come instantly. But for some reason, I can't stop thinking about my grandma. And tears started flowing. And. Here I am. But tonight that doesn't calm my broken heart. I think only my grandma's hug and laugh would calm me right now. Of course thinking about her makes me think about my Grandpa Joe and Grandma Dot. Oh and now. the tears flow harder. Random: I wish I had spoken at their funerals a...I had a d...
