Life or something like it :)

So life is going well. i can't believe it is almost christmas. it seems like a month ago i had just left new york and was getting settled in, and now it's Christmas and Jer and i are getting ready to go visit my friends and family in southern california. i am really excited for this trip, i haven't been home in almost three years, and that just feels sooo crazy to me. so if you live in LA Torrance, or Orange County, I wanna try and see you!!!!

everything else is going great. i am still working hard for american apparel, i now have three stores (my two in Berkeley, and i am taking care of the outlet store in Gilroy) It has been really exciting because the company is going through alot of changes, and growth, so to be a huge part of it is extremely satisfying.

i am also doing costumes for Jeremy's school. Which is like a dream, it's so fun to make outfits with items that have patterns! i really do enjoy costuming, it's always been something that i have pursued, and been successful at, but have never been able to fully pursue. i have styled photo shoots for several years now, but getting to create an entire show is a total dream. Right now i am preparing for Romeo and Juliet (a stylized and modern take) and a concert version of Once on this Island. Both shows have been so fun, and the kids are awesome to work with, they are so grateful for everything i do, that it makes it extremely enjoyable. Once on this Island has been an awesome experience for me, i actually did the show my junior year of high school, which was quite possibly the best year of my educational career. So for me to get to share this experience with these kids has been so great.

the apartment is also coming along nicely. We bought a chair for the living room, and i sit in it, and jer sits on the floor and i play with his hair while we watch tv (it's basically my favorite part of the day.) we have picked out some other things we would like to get, and it's all coming together slowly but surely. it's amazing, because the empty apartment felt so daunting when we first moved here, and to see it slowly fill up a little at a time, and really become a home has been an awesome experience. our office is also coming together slowly but surely. i know that now it feels like we have so much room but in a few years i won't be able to think how i lived in such a small space because we will have filled it and already outgrown it, but for now i am just enjoying filling it. :)
