New Beginnings

As I mentioned before, we moved!

Sorting out a relationship with someone long distance overseas is challenging for a number of reasons. One  being that one place never feels like it's joint. It's always the other persons place - regardless of how many items are stashed. So, apartment hunting was especially exciting. It communicated just how far we've come. Where were see ourselves going and provided a blank canvas for all the memories to come.  In total, we looked at 11 places. We each created a apartment wish list. A two bedroom was a must!  Our home was going to be just that - a home, not an apartment - but a place with these huge welcoming arms to warp around each and every guest. Having the chat, the laugh, sharing good food and drink - genuine love is what we offer and want.  

So, yes, we found that place and have it! It's been a very exciting time for us. This apartment is truly perfect for us. It's a great location with access to everything. Overall, we do like how it's decorated with only a few adjustments/additions desired, but those will come in time. Umm, hello 8x10 rugs are EXPENSIVE! 

 Anyhoo, a few highlights that just make my heart swoon!

 This is an area in our dining room. I LOVE sitting at the table with the beautiful huge windows opened listening to a record and sharing good times with .. insert a love, we are lucky to have a few!

This seriously makes my heart all types of happy! My sister-in-law is visiting and was so kind to gives us this gift. Family IS a circle of LOVE!

This painting hangs above our bed. Bryan gave me the canvas as a wedding present to paint something for us. Yellow birds are a significant reference for us so it was a no brainer.

I hope everyone enjoys the weekend and has a great one! xoxo
