Sooooo…whew. I've made it to the good part. FOR SURE. My list of addresses to change and utilities to cancel and PO boxes to buy and doctors appointments to make and Internet connections to set up and packages to ship out and papers to sign is down to… zero. I have all the annoying stuff…

I drove up alone with a car-full of stuff and I’ll leave alone (in a different car & with more stuff). I told Paul on FaceTime this morning that after two solo moves, it will be strange when we are able to move together! I can’t imagine what that will be like (though at least…

This has been a whirlwind. A 31 day whirlwind. We fell in love with the house on Thursday 1/24, nine days before Paul was set to leave for six months, and today it's going to be ours. I am grateful for an ON TOP OF IT realtor, SUPER HELPFUL parents, FANTASTIC military packers & movers,…

Today I am 28. Today I am writing this post from bed – on the actual day the post goes live. I wanted it to reflect the moment. This moment. Today I am surrounded by boxes. Our house is packed up and waiting to move. I am packed up and waiting to move. Today I…

Moving right along. Literally in some cases. I have packers scheduled for next week and movers scheduled for the following Monday. I still cannot believe how quick this is all happening, but it's just another reminder that when it's RIGHT, it's RIGHT. I am totally at peace with the pace of this next adventure and…

All things considered, it was a fantastic week. No disclaimer needed. We're almost one week down on Paul being gone. Escrow is progressing – we might close as early as next Thursday. Baby girl preformed her first dance recital for an audience of one on Wednesday night. I have creative work and fun projects lined…

photo info…Orange & Park print, West Elm candleholders, DIY beeswax candles. As mentioned yesterday, this was a CRAZY week. Thank you, thank you for your sweet comments on my post about it. Life is crazy, but man it's also good. Hopefully I'll have more information (and photos) from our adventures in real estate to share…

Tuesday evening, Paul got home from a run and shouted upstairs, "Babe, the sky looks amazing, want to come see?" Always, Paul, always. I grabbed a blanket off the back of the couch and we half walked half ran down to the beach to catch the final moments of the sunset. The sky was amazing.…
