Home Sweet Home

Our first house!!!

Easier than said than done, we have finally moved into our new home! Man has it been a rough and crazy adventure. I don’t know if everyone else has so many problems come up in a move but our list was just out of this world! Being newlyweds I can certainly say that a move is a test of a relationship. I’m pleased to say though, that I think we did pretty darn good considering the circumstances.

Did I mention we used to live on the THIRD floor of an apartment… like 3 flights of stairs? Oh yeah and we had a loft so make that FOUR flights of stairs we moved from. I will probably have nightmares for years about going up and down and up and down and up and down…(I think you get the point) flights of stairs!!! My legs were on fire after the 2^nd day of moving. That covered my workouts for the week for sure!

Another “fun” adventure was that with my husband had an unexpected trip out of town days before the move (gee thanks Isaac) and forgot to have our water & power switched to the new place. So a day before we moved we called to have it taken care of and no one could do anything over the Labor Day holiday weekend. We moved and lived in a home with no water or power for a couple of days, then when the power came on we learned the AC was broken and had to have someone come repair it!!! Oh my goodness I could have slapped someone.

I must say now that all is said and done and everything is starting to get back to normal (whatever the heck that is), we are so glad to be in a larger space. We keep trying to talk to each other from another room like we did in our apartment and now the space is so large we can’t hear each other.  It makes for some pretty funny conversations. It’s definitely going to have to take some getting used to – in a good way of course. And my two sweet babies finally have a yard to run around in. They are just as happy to finally have some space as we are!

Now I get to have a whole closet full of yarn, an office far far away from the TV and my husband yelling at football games, and a spare bedroom for our out of town family to come visit that will second for my photography studio!

I'm baaaack!

My semi-unpacked desk

I’m baaaack! After the nightmarish move from hell (aren’t they all that way?) I am back and at it! My office is unpacked (well enough to get things done) and I am just LOVING this new space!!! I’ll give you a tour soon when it’s all finished!

I’m so excited to be getting back into the swing of things. I have a whole lot of things that I want to get done this month. Maybe a few too many things on my to do list this month but I sure as heck am gonna try to knock all these goals out of the park to get the new line all spiffy, shiny, and ready to grace your wardrobe in time for the cool weather… Here in Alabama we still have no idea what cool weather feels like, but October is right around the corner so it has to be close right?

Thanks for being patient with my limited communication through the move. I can’t wait to knit up all the new things coming your way!

Movin & A Shakin'

Starting today we’re MOVING!!! A big step for us, we are getting our first house (a rental, not ownership but that’s besides the point). We are coming from a 1 bedroom w/ a loft to a 3 bedroom 2 bath.  I can’t even explain how thrilled I am about getting some new space! We still have almost all of our wedding gifts in the boxes they came in because we don’t have anywhere to put them for goodness sake. You should see our bedroom, there’s a giant wall of wedding present boxes. OH yeah and now my rotten little doggies will have a yard to run around in.

The next few days while moving I’ll probably be a bit MIA, but don’t worry “I’ll be back” LOL sorry I couldn’t resist! But I WILL be back and I’ll have a brand new studio! I have so many ideas for the place, I’m even starting a pinterest board for my dream office. Any of you have any cool/organizational/fun/crafty/etc. ideas for an office to share?
