Apartment!

We got a new apartment! Huzzah! We signed the lease last Tuesday, so it's officially official. We don't actually move in until May 15th, which gives us a nice 2 week overlap to get all our stuff transitioned. AND! It's super close to our old place, closer still to Davis, and in one of my favorite neighborhoods (nice and quiet and residentially). I won't miss living right on Highland and hearing the ambulances and buses going by all the time.

Check it out!

On an Eastery note (an excerpt from an email):
We went to PA - left Thursday night around Brynna's bedtime (and close to mine) which worked out swimmingly. She slept the whole time, and I got to sleep for like 2 hours. Put this on your list of qualities to look for in a mate - likes to drive while you sleep. It's a winner! Family was good - loud as ever. Amy's youngest, Grace, is probably the cutest child I have ever met. Including mine. Seriously, even when she's evil, you can't help but love her. :) We did the annual egg dying/Jesus Christ Superstar routine, and Elaine had her annual beatdown by the children during the Hunt.

Then yesterday we tried to leave early so we would avoid traffic (I know some of you remember a certain 10 hour drive home one Easter Sunday). But alas, 10 hours is the magic number. This time it wasn't entirely due to traffic - there's a good reason we left Thursday at night. Brynna decided after she woke up from her 3 hour nap that car rides were NOT for her. Ugh. So at least 1 hour of the trip was spent in a random Walmart entertaining baby.

    Oh man... just when we figured out how to get to your old place. Wait, we never figured out how to find it. Good luck with the move, can't wait to see it Memorial Day weekend!

Deliberate. The adjective, not the verb.

I'm getting so excited for our move.  SO EXCITED!  I'm going to finally spend adult time with my parents (which I'm sure will be infuriating and full of unintended consequences, but also awesome.)  They will be a daily (or maybe weekly) part of our lives for as long as we have them.  This is a deliberate choice, maybe a crazy choice, but one that I embrace with the little knowledge I have of the actuality of it.  I may miss the weather, but life is about people to me, not things. I'm going to live 0.4 miles away from my best friend, and 3.7 miles away from my sister.  I'm going to do real estate.  Matt is going to do a business adventure with his best friend.  This is a deliberate move.  This is a deliberate life.  This is a rebuttal to all the times people say, "I wish I could... but I can't."  Because the thing is, "There's enough time in  your life for everything important."  You are given only one life on this plane...

The Perfect Social Media Life

Watching a little Gary Vee this morning and his rant on caring about what other people think.  (Everything he does is a rant.  But an awesome rant.  I As intended, it caused me to reflect on my social media persona and think about why I post.  Honestly, I post because it's a bit of a yearbook for me.  I love documenting the great stuff, because my brain forgets (in about 0.2 seconds), and I especially love when Facebook reminds me of my memories.  I'm not trying to convince the world that I have the perfect life - I DO have the perfect life.  It's full of family and friends and experiences.  Shelter and safety and amazing food.  In fact, sometimes I DON'T post because I don't want people to compare their lives and feel lacking.  I just want to remember this amazingness for the days when it's not amazing.  Gary Vee posits that we post fantastic stuff because we crave other peoples' validation on our daily lives.  But I know eve...

We'll start with family... The event of the season! Lisa and Tom's wedding was this past weekend and I'm exhausted, but in a good way. My family (God bless 'em) can be so tiring... :) The wedding itself though was a phenomenal success. We got everything set up in time, the key players all showed up for the ceremony (though my parents were almost late because Colby threw a massive temper tantrum about putting on his suit), and the weather was perfect. They did a tropical/bbq type theme at an old estate (Joanna Furnace) with an accordian playing DJ. He was actually pretty good :) Saturday morning we girls went to get our hair/makeup/lives done, and Shakes was nice enough to accompany us and take pictures. Link is on the top left :) We made it to the church about a half hour before the ceremony to change and hang out, only to realize that by putting our dresses in the dryer to de-wrinkle, they had been almost ruined by a wayward dryer sheet. Other women would have panicked...
