Welcome to the weekend! I’m so excited to just be laying low this weekend and staying in town. AND David is off! yessssssss. For fellowship his hours are a bit more defined – he’s actually been getting off at 5:00 pm regularly – say what!? And he gets TWO weekends off a month opposed to TWO DAYS off a month like Residency. He was actually sick this week which is the first time in 3 years of dating and 4 years of marriage that I’ve seen him sick. I would be lying if I said it has been painless so far – moving is hard for so many reasons. And with David working a new job, in a new place, with a new computer system, the stress level has been a bit high. But I’ve been SO THANKFUL that we are close to family. My mom actually helped me hang the curtains in my office yesterday and it was such a wonderful realization that we were home. I’ve hung curtains by myself everywhere we have lived so far – Jackson, MS, the Carrboro Cottage, and the Davie Circle House… so her being there to help, while David was working hard at the hospital, was pretty amazing and not something I take for granted.

One of my best friend’s from highschool is actually in town today so he’s helping me put the finishing touches on our kitchen table, hang the string lights outside, and might even be my photographer this afternoon! haha I’ll be sure to put that on Instastories if it happens.

I hope you have a beautiful weekend and thank you SO MUCH for reading this blog!

closing on our first home!!!!

Welcome to the weekend! Hope you enjoyed the short week! These last two weeks have flown by while we were packing up in North Carolina and moving to Birmingham. So some of these pics are from the last TWO weeks rather than the standard weekly recap.

We closed on our first home on Monday and y’all, it feels so good! I also never knew how challenging it was to close on a home. By the end I felt like the bank was asking us questions like “well why did you visit your grandmother the second week in August 2002? And what was the purpose of that trip?” haha This house is a bit smaller than our Davie Circle house so I’m interested to see if everything from the pod fits! We’ve been staying with my sister all week while we make a few minor adjustments to the house – like knocking out a wall and removing a plastered/ popcorn ceiling. I was SO GLAD to discover that one of my neighbors does home renovations! Like, WHAT!? Please and thank you! It saved me so much time not having to look for someone and his team has been a dream. I can’t wait to show y’all the finished product and give a home tour!

In the mean time I’m loving hanging with my sis when David has been working SO HARD already and am REALLY enjoying the fact that I’m reunited with a TCBY. If that place ever closes I don’t know what I’ll do!
