Let's Leap and Get Real!

In celebration of 2/29- LEAP YEAR- which is just a few hours away I wanted to write a post. Times are a changing here at Have a Nice Day and it is time for some real talk...

Things that are real-
1) MDK and I are technically in transit back to the Midwest and hope to be back together Thursday-ish pending the weather challenges. I am back as a resident of the hotel to finish up my project and he is driving our moving truck. Don't worry he has good company his dad and little Valentina are joining him in the 30 hour adventure.
Pros: Friends/Family and close for wedding planning. Best of all....MDK is starting a job! We were looking forward to this working out so congrats to my soon-to-be-Mr.!
Cons: Um...snow...and the "adjustment" phase. Two thumbs down to moving.

2) My project is ending and that puts me in a weird "I feel a little lost" mode. With other project transitions it is best to just let go and move on. But, this project has been longer and brought more personal changes, like the move to CA. I like the idea of something new just need to get past the fact that a year of something routine work/pilates/activities with new peeps is done. #sad

3) The wedding is coming faster than I thought...oops. Within this bullet we need to get on the honeymoon planning train. I am determined to completely relax following all this fun!!

4) Having some unsure feelings about getting back to the busy life. When we were in CA it was just us and that at times was bliss. We return to lots of great people and lots of things we love to do. I am hoping we can get a nice mix of our CA slow down back with us. Even if it isn't right away, maybe after the wedding we can just be "us" more than we are just EVERYWHERE. Let's recall Streamlining Life from last June.


Yikes- the last pic of our little love nest in CA...empty. That is plenty of real for now.

Have a Nice Day!

The Countdown Continues

Though I should be talking about how I only have 4 months left before the wedding...I wanted to share this picture of the top of a take-out box! It reminded of me of my little space here in the blog world.

So for the real talk...wedding is 4 months away and I booked my flight home to MN on 3/1 just today. I am not feeling too much pressure with the move since the way out here went pretty well, except the bed issue (see previous post). And because we will be shacking up with my big sis we won't need to immediately unpack our entire lives. That sounds like a win to me!

I have sent our invite wording to our printer and I am very excited to see the proof. I found Pistachio Press on Etsy if I remember correctly! I contacted them first with the idea of taking one of their invites and making a Save the Date to accompany the existing design. They did a great job and we received lots of positive feedback from our guests. Post wedding I will share some pictures as the stationary has been one of my favorite parts.

Other highlights...well...we have a lot of things "sorta" planned and I am not sure how I feel about that. So I will dedicate March to getting my to-do/DIY list under control as I have found some neat ideas that I want to replicate. Because I feel a little disconnected from the wedding right now I hope it will feel more real after a few craft sessions.

Well, that is all for now! Have a nice day!
