January Budget

Well, I stayed fairly true to my no shop January, but Vermont threw me a curve ball and I had to bring a little something home.


Vermont state of mind shirt from Syrup, $24


Vermont Flannel Company flannel, $48.80

Total: $72.80

So, not too bad but not great either.

This month I may need some new work pants - something that's not as formal as a pair of slacks but not jeans either - and if you have suggestions let me know! I want to keep my spending under 100 if at all possible.

Linking up with Fran!

Life changes + that one time my sister got married

The past 5 days have been a complete blur/whirlwind. Not only did I get a new job offer that I accepted, but my little sister got married this weekend and she made a gorgeous bride. I successfully didn't trip walking down the aisle, delivered my matron of honor speech, and am still sore from getting down on the dance floor.

Just a few phone/photobooth photos of us. :)

My mom and I. Convinced I look just like her (and she looks an awful lot like my grandma..)
Photobooth madness and DH jumped in

With my Dad. :)

On January 27th I will be starting a new job at a new organization. I'm super excited, nervous, and really really thrilled. I'm going to a non-profit organization which is a brand new venture for me. I've primarily worked for private companies for the past 7 years so this will be a change. It was a hard decision, but ultimately I couldn't say no. And so far, every coworker that I've told has been so incredibly happy so it makes me feel even more confident in the choice I've made.

Heading to Vermont (!) and NYC for the long weekend and to say goodbye to my NY office. I may or may not freeze in Vermont but I have been wanting to see snow.

When you've left a job in the past... what are some ways that helped you to transition smoothly?
