Time to Move

I am slowly making my way back into the blogging world. And just as things started to calm down with work we had to go and make a huge life decision....

That's right WE ARE MOVING! 



It all started a few months ago when I jumped on realtor.com for fun. I found this gorgeous victorian home a few miles from where we lived.  I have seen houses that I liked before, but not like this. Something about this house was screaming, "Come look at me!"  So I called up our realtor and asked if she could show it to me. She responded with saying she was excited that Brian and I were looking. Oh, yeah. Brian. I completely forgot that I need him when viewing/purchasing a home. Long story, short I convinced Brian to 'fall in love' with it to and we put in an offer only to find out we had been out bid by $500. 

I was heartbroken.. like my boyfriend had just dumped me. Like right before prom. Heartbroken. But God knew what we needed and that house was not it. So we decided to slow things down and start praying about what was right for our family. We waited and waited and finally while we were in DC another house popped up that I fell for.. and hard. But houses move within 2-3 days here so I knew that the chances of us even getting to see it were slim to none. But alas when we got back home 5 days later it was still on the market.  

We looked at it and both agreed it was the one. I don't want to share too many details as we don't close for a few more weeks, but here is a little sneak peak.



I can't wait to show some of the before and after pictures of a few projects we already have in mind. I have been stalking pinterest and online shopping like it's my job. (If anyone knows a way you can actually get paid for that let me know ASAP.) In the midst of all this we put our condo on the market and that beauty sold in 18 hours. Can you believe it! Nope, neither can we.

So now packing is in full swing, but like any good mama knows you gotta double fist some chocolate ice cream in the midst of the craziness! 



Stay tuned for more exciting adventures coming our way! 


     




D.C. Times




We kicked off our summer with a 5 day trip to Washington, DC. We had originally planned to only go for a day or so since we were primarily going for Brian's uncle's wedding. However, once we started thinking about it we thought what a cool vacation to take since neither of us had been in there in so, so long. 

We spent the first 2 of 5 days doing all of the tourist attractions like the White House and Smithsonian. Brady did okay most of the trip but he was definitely ready for some serious sleep by the end of each day. 




Wedding weekend kicked off Friday night with a cocktail hour and dinner, with Saturday being the main attraction. Our family dressed to impressed for pictures and then it was off to the nanny for Brady and some adult fun for Brian and me.



This wedding has definitely made the Top 5 for us! It was so fancy and they put out all the stops for their guests. We hated to see it end! Congrats to Ginny and Brian and thank you for allowing us to be apart of such a special weekend!
