We closed on our old house and moved into our new house this week and that came with a lot of emotions and trials and triumphs. "Bittersweet" is a phrase that is thrown around a lot, and I've even said it myself many times--but this week was the first week I can honestly say I […]

Casual Friday: Closing on Our New home, Selling our Home Furnished, and the Best of May
We closed on our new-to-us house yesterday! It still feels so surreal or maybe my long to-do list has helped keep me numb to a lot of the emotions that are running through my mind: excited, grateful, overjoyed, sad, stressed, nervous, overwhelmed. I'm feeling it all. Sometimes tears just start rolling down my cheeks and […]
