It’s crazy to me to think that I started this blog at 20 years old and here I am nearly 10 years later, still writing and sharing my life with you. You guys have been with me through some of my biggest life moments and changes. (Getting married! Moving to the Midwest!) I am so thankful for blogging and the community it has brought me. I wish there was more opportunities for us to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee together, so I thought today would be a fun day to do so virtually and catch you up on my life lately:
- Josh and I are three months into home ownership and it is so much fun but also so so so much work. I want to snap my fingers and have the entire place made over but life just doesn’t work that way unfortunately. I’m learning to be patient, and enjoy the progress as we make it.
- We just had the first full sunshine and warm weather weekend since winter started and it was the absolute best. I feel like I am a plant. When I get sunshine and love I bloom. When I have to spend my days indoors surrounded by darkness and gloom I become sad. Bring on spring!
- Life has been rather odd since the company I work for announced it was getting acquired. I feel like I went from having a pretty solid life plan for the next few years to life kind of being up in the air. I’m not good with uncertainty but I know the best thing I can do is work hard, be flexible, and keep my options open. What’s meant to be will find a way.
- In that same vein of being flexible, I’ve decided to condense my MBA coursework to graduate this December. My company pays for it, and it makes the most sense to try and get it done as soon as possible. It has made present times a bit more stressful as I’m trying to balance all my classes with a full-time job, my social life, and my blog, but I know it will be worth it in the end.
- I have trips to Vegas, Austin, and the Jersey Shore coming up in the next few months and I cannot wait. Traveling is truly the thing that makes me the happiest in the world. I feel like I learn and grow and discover so many new things about the world and myself with each trip I take. Bring on sunshine, warm weather, and time near the water!
- I’ve been working really hard to try and take care of my mental and physical health. Making sure I’m sleeping enough, eating lot of fruits and veggies, and spending time with friends. Life is too short to be stressed and/or worried all the time, so I’m really trying to breathe, relax, and savor up the moment.
