I've been kind of MIA lately and I've been keeping a little secret too...

My husband and I (and Aubrey) have been busy designing our new home!
We've been living together and renting for 9 years now so it's finally our time to have a home of our own. The serious talks about buying a home started when we decided to start our little family. We looked at a bunch of homes but just couldn't find one that felt right for us so when I was halfway through my pregnancy we decided to put house hunting on hold for a while.
Shortly after Aubrey was born- right around the time that all of her stuff started taking over the house- we decided that we needed to do something about our situation. We are quickly outgrowing our small rental house.
To make a long story short, a random discussion on Easter Sunday led to my husband convincing me that we should make a big move to the country and build a home. Crazy, right? It took a lot of convincing because the "country" that I'm referring to means moving back to my hometown. The same hometown that I couldn't get out of fast enough when I graduated high school. -Cue another moment of realization- that I am in fact really a grown up, like the mature somewhat level-headed kind. My parents moved from the city to the country when I was little and now here I am making the same move for my little girl. History does repeat itself, I suppose.
We're hoping to move in before the holidays. *fingers crossed that the construction crews stay on schedule* Little by little
Coming Soon... BLOG SALE!
I'm going to add a blog sale tab in the upcoming weeks where I'll be selling some clothing, jewelry, and shoes. Mostly shoes because lets face it... my 6 inch platform stilettos aren't going to cut it when I'm running around the woods after a little one. My lifestyle has changed. Drastically. No more clubbing, no more Saturday nights at the bar, and Sunday Fun Days have taken on a whole new meaning. Let the closet cleansing commence!
Congrats! How exciting to plan out your house. I am sure you will love it once your in and are enjoying what you envisioned! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! We can't wait to get in and get settled.
DeleteAt first I thought you were going to announce another pregnancy lol! Congrats on the new home and new move back to your hometown. I still basically live in the same town I grew up in, and although it does feel tiresome, it's a great place to have a family. I wish you nothing but the best :) I can't wait to see any decor tips!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Not anytime soon, that is for sure! Thanks so much! I'll be posting about the progress and there will be lots of decor posts coming once we're moved in.
DeleteWOW exciting new venture for you guys! Enjoy it!

DeleteI'm so excited for you - it sounds like such a lovely decision for your family!
ReplyDeleteReading Noelle's comment - I agree - when you mentioned secret, for one moment I thought you were pregnant LOL!
I'm sorry! I seem to have shocked a few of you! haha We have a full plate right now. Number 2 isn't in our plans for anytime is the very near future.
DeleteI have so many friends that got pregnant immediately after their first, I was expecting that too! Congratulations! I would love to built a house and make a bigger closet...I'll keep an eye out for a sale tab! You should also look into poshmark on your iphone...I sell on there and if you wanted to sign up we both get $5 credit if you use my code HWQWF.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Walk in closets in every room, I can't wait! I'll check out that site- thanks for the tip!
