Bachelor In Paradise….

omg- a teeny man bun

Today I found this a-mazing selfie that Jeremy took last night while we were lounging watching Bachelor In Paradise. You can’t really tell, but that’s a tiny man bun/pony tail I put in his hair. haha! (don’t worry- I don’t see him rocking that style soon)

We’re moving next week. This week we’re finishing packing, scheduling some family time and trying to make sure we don’t forget to do REALLY important things that come with moving to another state and selling two houses.

Oh, and watching Bachelor In Paradise. Why is it on two nights a week? Why?!

On our fourth wedding anniversary…

1

On our fourth anniversary we bought our second house together… in Nashville, Tennessee. It felt completely surreal. It still does. My brain is going to be catching up to what is happening for a while.

So, normally we take a vacation to mark each anniversary, but this year it only felt right to spend it working on our new home because that was the only place we really wanted to be, and the only thing we really wanted to be doing.

We were very lucky to find a home we loved so much quickly. The house market in Nashville is crazy and we didn’t expect for things to happen as quickly as they did. We only decided to move about four months ago!

Anyway- here are a few silly photos to remember our week by. We spent almost the entire time covered in paint. Oh yeah- that’s because we got a paint quote that was EIGHTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. Painting sounded fun after that. Motivation!

We wasted no time. We barely went out at all, only hung out with, like, two people and just worked the whole time. I painted this gigantic bookshelf in the living room and Jeremy did a lot of the walls in the whole house. In the photo above he’s doing the hallway and I’m working on the breakfast nook.

We decided to buy a sprayer after one night of painting brick and stone. haha! It takes forever.

These photos are so special to me. I’m glad we jumped in and did a bunch of stuff ourselves because we definitely feel more invested in the process now. It’s a big job. The home wasn’t really updated since the 1970s so it needed a lot of cosmetic updates even though it was beautiful and kept up really well.

On the day we got the keys the first thing we did was film an empty house tour. I shared it over on A Beautiful Mess, but I wanted to share it here too since this is the sentimental to me. I know we will watch this video back in years to come and be able to really see the before and after. I took a lot of photos too, but sometimes video captures it best.

Thanks for reading!

Mother’s Day

On Mother’s Day we volunteered to host dinner at our place. Since we’re the only ones in Jeremy’s family without children we thought it would be fun to treat the moms. It was crazy fun throwing this together. It was the first time that all of Jeremy’s family had come to our home at the same time (right before we move, of course!)

Here are a few photos from the day (mostly of food- my bad!)

There’s Suki hoping for some food to fall on the floor.

He said, “you only get one”. So, obviously, its perfect!

Ha! He’s probably playing dots. I love this photo because it captures our living room and suddenly I am REAL nostalgic about this home. At first I was so excited about the new house, the new city etc that I didn’t really get sad for a long time. But lately, realizing that very soon we won’t live here anymore is really hard. I know we’ll be coming back a lot (that definitely helps) but I’ve never really lived anywhere else and it’s weird.

Jeremy’s mom is so wonderful. We always say we have a tie for the best mom, because they are both such angels. We love them more than anything.
