In case you hadn’t heard… we’re expecting!! A baby boy is set to join us in February and we are over the moon excited to meet him! Additionally, we’ve had lots of other life updates so I figured it was time for the latest installment of Life Lately…
Read MoreI’m sure for the majority of my readers / followers, this series is a little off from what you’re more interested in (food, fashion, etc.) but for anyone going through this same season, I hope it is insightful. Yes, we are wrapping up the moving tips series tonight with this final post… A reflection on the learning experience of moving twice in seven months, haha. Including but not limited to: my review of the two companies utilized in making said moves.
Read MoreOne of the roles I took on in both of our cross-country moves was to find the best moving company that fit our needs, budget, and concerns. While moving across the country twice in one year does not advance us to expert level (yet), we sure learned a lot in our process for selecting a moving company for New York and again for South Carolina. As you begin your process for selecting a moving company for your cross-country move, take a moment to jot down some important questions to ask and some key considerations unique to your move. Today, I want to share with you some of the important questions and areas that mattered to us for both of our moves.
Read MoreIf you’re preparing for a major move or considering a job in a different state, you’re likely overwhelmed at what all needs to be done. And while you can Google tips and ask friends for advice, unless someone is in the middle of it, they rarely remember the juicy helpful advice that you need to hear the most. So that’s exactly why I spent hours trying to organize my thoughts and take notes from my husband’s perspective throughout this process to gather what all we’ve learned having done this crazy move-across-the-country thing twice in seven months! While I heavily debated breaking down today’s super long post into three separate days of content, I think it makes the most sense for those who need it as one singular, lengthy read. And don’t fret, I have more moving-related advice blog posts coming your way soon, I just wanted to make sure today’s was as comprehensive as I can get regarding my advice for “getting ready” for a big move.
Read MoreNew series alert! I am compiling pages of notes (with lots of help from Darrell) about moving… basically what I would tell my sister if she called me up and wanted to know everything we’ve learned by moving twice in one year! 😅 Today, I want to start from a bird’s eye view: what to consider as you enter the planning process for a big move.
Read MoreHave you had ice cream today?? We made it to South Carolina last night and have been chilling in a hotel until we can get into the new apartment. Tonight, we ate dinner in the car (we picked up some to-go food from a local restaurant) and then hopped across town to enjoy blizzards from Dairy Queen. Penny got in on the excitement with a pup cup! (This post in kind of a hodge podge of topics including an update on where we are at in the moving process!)
Read MoreCOVID impacted us in so many ways and this chapter of our lives looks vastly different than we ever anticipated. We have made the tough decision to end our NYC adventure a lot sooner than planned. We are very happy to share that we’re moving to Rock Hill, South Carolina! (Greater Charlotte, NC area just over the state line)
Read MoreGuess what?? It’s official! We’re moving to NEW YORK CITY! Last week, Darrell accepted a job and we visited NYC to find an apartment.
