Settling into the Big D

Hello friends,

It has been a month since we have moved into our apartment. Here is a quick update on what we have been up to. I will try to update in more detail as soon as possible.


  • We moved into our new apartment. It's in a great location, with everything we could possibly want or need close to us. 
  • I started a new job. Monday will be my fourth week. I work for a public relations company, but my boss is also launching a new high-end perfume and candle fragrance line in October so I have been designing the boxes and bottles and working on the website. I have also been doing a lot of social media to try to get people excited about the brand. 
  • Chris and I have moved my travel blog to its own domain. You can now find it at www.pinkvalise.com. It was a lot of work to make the transition, but it has been worth it. I love the new layout and I still enjoy writing for it every week. 
  • I still write for the Examiner. You can find all of my articles at http://exm.nr/lQ6gGe. I would really appreciate it if you would look as I get a little bit of pocket change in return for each page view. 
  • Next week is our "super week"- our birthdays and anniversary. I have been working hard to make it special for Christopher since he will be starting medical school in four weeks. [He doesn't like to hear that.]
I hope everyone is doing well and I will try to update in more detail in the future. 

With love, 
Olga

Living in Limbo

Chris and I have been living with his parents while we wait to move into our apartment in Dallas. It has been nice to get to spend time with them.

Chris and I have also been able to spend more time than usual with each other. It has been so nice to just be able to hang out and watch TV together, especially since that time will be hard to find with Chris starting medical school in the fall.

Other than that, I have been writing a lot. I still update three times a week on my travel blog, pinkvalise.blogspot.com and have recently started writing for the Examiner. On the Examiner, I get paid per page view on each article so I would really appreciate it if you had a look.

We are moving to our apartment tomorrow so I will post some pictures when it is ready.
