signing off….

signing off….

Hi guys….yes, I still write here. Sorry for the crickets you have been hearing every Tuesday but working a full time job and preparing for a baby doesn’t leave much time for anything else!

As much as I wanted to convince myself that I could do everything….and do it well (wife, mother, employee, friend, blogger)….it just hasn’t worked out that way. So, with my second baby due pretty much anytime now I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to go ahead and give into the reality of my (lately) underachieving lifestyle and call it a day.  So, this is me signing off for a while.

I’ll be back….so don’t worry. I just need to focus on family and less on everything else for a bit. We are all so happy that Stella will be joining us on the blog during my absence. She is a dear friend and lives the type of life that many of us only dream about!

Also, I posted a few images from my baby shower on my personal blog today, so feel free to hop over and check out some of the details!

Hi dear friends! My name is Stella and we met here on Sunny Slide up last February. The last time we chatted, I was ecstatic for my magical wedding at Mugdock Castle in Charleston, South Carolina.

Burton and I tied the knot in April 2013. As you’ll remember,  we were soooo lucky to have 15 -year old Luna #woof join us for this special moment. I even had a wedding dress made for her, of course!

We rode off in a monster truck, and then jetted off to Europe to celebrate our nuptials with my family in Germany. On the family farm!!

We celebrated our honeymoon in Iceland, courtesy of free weeklong layover from Iceland Air. Highly recommended!!

Along the way we scored a housesitting gig in Paris for a curious cat name Anna Blume. I showed Paris how to prancercize!!

We returned to the States six weeks later to send Luna off to her happy place, before settling into our new house in downtown Charleston. Bittersweet moments.

Home in Charleston, SC

Ever since, we’ve been on the go-go-go and look forward to taking you along on our newly married adventures. This Fall we have plans for housesitting Asheville, celebrating our birthdays in Key West, and holiday craft market shopping in NYC, before ringing in the new year.

XOXO
