it feels like my last hump day!

Tomorrow is my last day at the company I have worked for, for two and a half years!!!

As my first "real" job after college, I feel really grateful for all the opportunities I have had to grow, the people I have met and the connections I have made. It hasn't always been easy but it has been a great stepping stone...but honestly I cannot hide how happy I am to move on. Taking some time to focus on our new journey and nanny again is almost too good to be true. I just feel so lucky that I get to be doing something I absolutely love everyday.

This past weekend I visited with the family again that I will be nannying for. They have two girls (3 &1). Our visit was everything I needed to reassure me that I made the right choice. They are the sweetest family.

So on top of meeting with the family again, Jacob and I worked on our room at his parents house. It turned out really cute. We made it our own and actually hung pictures and everything. I love nesting, decorating and organizing. It was so strange how quickly a guest room we always slept in became "ours" in a matter of hours. I kinda love it.

Remember when I made these? That hook is just waiting for my medals :)
(I haven't taken my medals off my desk at work yet.)

You don't have a wine cooler in your bedroom???
weird.
I would update you on the rest of the weekend but I can pretty much sum it up by saying...
our awesome friends got married.
they seriously threw one of the best receptions ever (I am still recovering/detoxing).
my dress fit!!! (& DID NOT rip).
my mother in law is awesome because she got me taco bell at 1 am--which is why I was alive and functioning the next day. no doubt.
andddd I even got two great runs in (an 8 miler and a 6 miler)... which were quickly proceeded by fro-yo & time with this cute guy.


Here are some more pictures from the wedding :)




Our Landlords (aka Jake's parents)

Starting next week I hope to be able to focus on the blog again daily. I would really love to continue to grow this space and be able to respond to more of your great comments. So thanks for still reading during this move!!!

I seriously can't believe how different my life will be one week from today : ) AHHH!

HAPPY HUMP DAY.

  4. Let me FIRST off say how amazing your MIL is. I don't know if mine could stay up until 1 am, let alone get me Taco Bell. Your room looks so cute, and it's good to hear that you're getting settled. :)
