We moved! Well I still have to go get a box of stuff from our apartment. But for all intents and purposes, we’re moved. Hooray!
Brownlee’s been trying to get me out of the apartment life like since we moved in together and extra since we had Addy. But I shirk responsibility wherever possible and home ownership is entirely not for me. So we compromised (read: both lost) and decided to lease a house. Hopefully forever because moving is a pain in the ass. And we hired movers! And I had 90% of our belongings in a box so I didn’t have to take anything but camera gear and the items from the fridge in my car and I still hated it.
But the house has a massive deck and I’ve already made 2 trips to Lowe’s and 3 trips to Target (granted that’s not too different from a normal week). I’m not a DIY person ever but I am a “hey I can probably dig a hole and keep a plant alive” type. I’m also very serious about grilling and drinking and I’m 1000% sure that’s why Bob Villa invented decks. {insert praying boy emoiji}. I’m off this week to get things together but I’m also mid Season 4 of Parks & Rec so, I’m not being ambitious.
I’m generally exhausted and fairly certain come winter I will love this fire place and hate these laminate floors. I bought a steam mop like 30 minutes after we got the keys (Target trip 1) but I’m going to be full mop and bucket a la Carol Burnett on a regular basis. I’m not exactly complaining I”m just realizing this is what Brownlee suckered me into I signed up for.
Other than that I’ve been in a creative slump, as evident by the lack of Wordless Wednesdays, and hope that now that we’re in here and the act of moving is completed I can get back at it. I won’t apologize for the excessive photos of Addy in the yard.
Here’s some to get you started:
What have you been up to lately? Also cross your fingers I find my 1st external hard drive in a box somewhere.
Yaaaay to moving! I don't ever want to do it again. Like ever. I'm in a HUMUNGOUS creative slump. Unthinking about trying ( again ) a 365 with my canon. *bites nails*
i have one of those photography project books so i'm going to try that. something i don't have to come up with the prompts/ideas. 365 is haaaaard but i gave up on my Project 52 like 2 weeks in. might restart in October.
The hard part is done and now you get to make the new casa your very own! Don't forget about that party I mentioned the other day. It's a MUST!! -wink wink- LOL! Congrats Brownlee familia on a new adventure! 🙂
pictures hung and i bought a fall garland. whaaaaaaat! lol
Yay for the moving part to be over! And welcome home forever (or for a while) 🙂
whew! we hung pictures so it's starting to feel homey. yay 🙂
Congrats on surviving the move! Moving sucks no matter how much help you hire, so I feel ya. I hope you enjoy house living much more than apartment living – I know I do! I am jealous of your actual yard though…
