Ahhh! What a crazy week! And to think it is only Wednesday. I am finally sharing a sneak peak of our new apartment! The photo above was snapped only moments before the movers arrived today… so I’m now surrounded by mountains of cardboard boxes BUT I’m typing this post from the comfort of our couch!!

I waited to post any photos of the apartment because I didn’t want it to look like a mess but I think the internet sometimes makes us think we can’t share parts of our lives if they’re not pretty and picture-worthy and I guess I got caught up in that way of thinking. So once I recognized that, I decided hey, I’m not going to put unnecessary pressure on myself to “come up” with some sort of pretty post for today when the reality is, y’all know we are in the midst of a move and life looks crazy during these times of transition. So here’s what the room really looked like today… Darrell’s Burger King cup, a camp chair and folding table, a crumbled checklist of all the items we needed to confirm when the movers arrived, lots of empty echo-y space.

We feel so crazy blessed to be here and in such a dream of a home. I cannot wait to share more about this beautiful apartment! Please don’t take this as bragging, because that’s not the intent. I just feel so incredibly grateful for how things are working out in the midst of such a crazy year personally and globally. It’s been one wild rollercoaster ride after another for us and I have no idea what is next but I’m just happy to be here and dancing with joy that I get to be right where I’m at. I hope you’re choosing joy in whatever way you can too, we all need it now more than ever!

I know a lot of posts lately have probably read more like diary entries than informative posts lately but I appreciate you continuing to follow along and giving me grace as we sort through everything and get settled (again). Producing content of any kind when life is swirling around during a move or other transition is just a lot. I love having this blog, my little corner of the internet to share about our lives and connect with others. Hopefully you enjoy this content as much as my food, fashion and other content! This blog has been so lifegiving for me in the past few months and I hope it’s been insprining, insightful or interesting for you! I have so many ideas for future posts and I can’t wait to dive into creating more soon, but for now, it’s real life chats like this at 10pm after pizza and unpacking! :)

I hope you finish out the week strong!
