Life Lately

It’s been awhile! Stay, let’s catch up over the past few weeks! We are still settling into our new home and just took a day trip up to Minneapolis to pick up a new (old) couch for our living room, as our current furniture will be relocating to our basement once it’s finished (a few more weeks). Cody built the wood valance for our sliding glass door, and we just got the piece of wood for the hair pin entry way table we will be making. Photo updates to come soon!

At the end of April I left my job at the start-up to take a job in project management as a client services coordinator at a furniture/office interior design company. It’s been a slight adjustment to get back into an 8-5 work day as well as accepting corporate America back into my life, but between my last job and the start-up, this falls right in the middle, and so far I’m pretty happy there! I’m excited to see where this opportunity takes me (plus it has benefits and an awesome summer work flex schedule – score!).

I’m embarking on the 21 Day Fix after hearing my sister-in-law talking about it. I start today with both the meal plan and the work-outs. I’m nervous but ready to take it on and get into shape! I’ll do my best to document the process on here, but follow along on social media for more daily updates. In addition to daily workouts, once a week I’ve started taking ballroom dancing class with my parents. I took a class my senior year of college and taught my dad the basics of Fox Trot for our dad/daughter dance at my wedding last May (can’t believe it’s almost been 1 year!). It’s nice for my parents to take the class together and then I get to step in with my dad or dance with our instructor, Nick. We’ve had a blast, just finished up the Waltz and currently learning some new Fox Trot steps!

Still working on the blog updates, very s l o w l y. I keep debating about changing between WordPress (currently using) and Squarespace (use for StyleEsque and my personal brand website). So for now, I’ve built out the website on both platforms but now need to customize the one I end up using. We’ll see where things end up. I’m in no rush, I recently read this article and it sums up a lot of things I haven’t been able to put into words as to why my blogging is next to nothing these days. I’m hoping once I get the design I’m aiming for along with some new content with more intent about the outfits, inspiration, and musings I can return to this space on a more regular basis, I miss it. But to be honest, I’ve enjoyed coming home from work and not opening my computer or even keeping it closed on the weekends. It’s been great to ‘un-plug’ from the blog but I’m anxious to get back!

That’s it for now! Hoping everyone had a great weekend!
