Weekend (life) PIC Up

hi again!

Within the past few weeks, I feel like there have been a number of little events.

A few weeks ago, my freshman floor finally had a successful reunion! It was so much fun and made me miss being 18, young & wild. Too bad I'm not as good at taking pictures every two seconds like I was back then.

Just within my sorority, my family now has two new, gorgeous, perfect members and the latest class just became initiated! I also realized that it has been FOUR years (on April 3) since my pledge class was initiated!! I'm still in shock.

Although it has been extremely exciting, all of this has made me feel ridiculously old. Plus the fact that I am turning 23...oy! There needs to be some wild celebrations to distract from the fact that I'm ancient.

The latest news? My house is dog sitting again!

If only I had one of my own...

Assini & me before going out

Ran into Bry & Laur at the bar!

I am the oldest of these perfect dynasty and I love every minute of it.

My perfect littlests!

Hey there, little one.

Now that it officially feels like SPRING...it's time to put some major spring cleaning into action. Who knows what is in store for me this coming month.

Weekend PIC Up: Some Change

With the change of the seasons come some change in my blog!

I figured this weeks PIC up would be the perfect opportunity to introduce the latest changes to my blog, as well as in my life! So much has happened in such little time, I'm finding myself completely overwhelmed. 

After the first snowfall...in NOVEMBER (what?)...I was ready for a change. The most obvious one, the blog name! Although I loved "wanderlust" and what it stood for to me, I was feeling much more minimalistic and was yearning for something sweet, simple, and to the point. Ergo...my name! I often complain about the lack of nick names my given name offers. I've always wanted something simple that screamed "me." Then I thought...um, well why not just your actual name? "cristina marie" seems to just flow off my tongue, so why not?! Be cautious though...the font and design of it may be changing in the near future. That's just the perfectionist in me.

Change, change, change. What else is new?

I'm newly employed!! I just recently got a part time job with, none other than, Anthropologie. I cannot begin to explain how excited I am, though I have never worked in retail before. Being that I'm ready for change, this opportunity was perfect. I'm hoping to truly find my niche as far as careers go. Combining my love for fashion/home decor and knowledge of business; seems ingenious doesn't it? We'll see what this opportunity brings!

Aside from that, I'm exploring the possibility of graduating this semester and beginning my journey in the real world. Nail biting, I know. Potential internships have sprung about in my path as well, probably being the most overwhelming aspect of my life right now: figuring out what path to embark on. But that will just have to fall into place as the days go by.

Enough talking! This has been my life recently...via my iPhone :)
