The Move

These last 5 weeks have been a whirlwind.  I basically have uprooted my life, moved, and taken on a new position with work.  No stress what-so-ever.  Nashville has been such a wonderful, special place for me over the past 7- yes 7- years.  I have grown up so much and made some of my dearest friends.  But on Thursday, May 26, my Dad and I put the finally box in the moving truck, and hauled it to Arkansas.  After weeks of sorting and packing...

And lots of goodbye-ing...

Josh and me at Tiffany's Birthday Party

Brandon and me at my going away shin-dig...

which Jon Lee hosted.  My friends are the best.

And of course I took about 100 trips to Marche, my favorite restaurant, knowing

that it would soon be unavailable to me.  My favorite waiter packed me down with a bunch

of gf cookies as a parting gift.

Larissa, one of my dearest life long friends.  She and I grew up together and we both ended up in Nashville.  I miss her so much!

Here's how moving week went down: We unloaded the truck Thursday night, Friday morning I trained my new employees, and Saturday my entire family left for a week to Daulphin Island where we enjoyed a week of relaxation.  I mean, that is the way to go.

Tip of the day: Any time you have a major life move, go to the beach the second you

unload your boxes.  It really is the best idea ever.

Allison, Nanga, and me



I took this of Isaac  He is completely naked, eating watermelon,

 and watching Pop fish.  Pretty happy little guy.

And then last week, I had a birthday. Saturday night we had a family dinner/game night complete with Mom's homeade pizza. 

Seriously, I have maybe 3 good pictures with Isaac in his entire lifetime.

Snuggling with my boys on my birthday.

Jon Thomas is very excited to have me home.

I love, love, love being able to be with my sister so much! 

I am going on my third week back from vacation, and I feel officially settled into Arkansas. I have loved being with the family and I have had the chance to reunite with some of my dear friends from college and high school.  I am very intentional about being happy where I am in life.  I loved Nashville while I was there, but God lead me back home and it just feels right.  And here is one more friend who is happy I am back in Arkansas...
