Happy May! I'm so sorry I fell of the earth for awhile when it comes to my blog. I blinked and two months went by. I realized a long time ago how much life can get in the way of the things you love to do and find passion in. I've had to put a lot aside for many years but each day that goes by I get closer to having the time and ability to do those passions again.
A couple of weeks ago we flew back to my home in Kansas City to pack up a moving truck. Oh! I sold my house! Woohoo! It was on the market for less than three days before I had an offer. So excited to finally have this all over with. It's been a long time coming. Moving across the country isn't easy when you own a home and way too much "stuff" but after almost a year of preparing for this, everything seemed to go pretty smoothly thanks to my family and and amazing boyfriend. I'm happy to say I can finally move forward with my new life in California.
After getting rid of a lot of my possessions...let me just be honest here. It was incredibly difficult to let go of things. Not going to lie, I can really see how people become hoarders and I've had to force myself throughout my life to get rid of things because I always had some grand plan to make something with or out of the object I felt I needed to keep. A lot of items I have are collections so downsizing is hard but something that needed to happen. I lived in a 4 bedroom home with a finished basement. I had a lot of rooms to decorate...Now I've moved across the country and really have no space to keep that much stuff anymore plus moving in with another person changes everything. We both have similar tastes so it will be nice to start over for the most part and make our home "us". So after letting go of quite a lot, I still have a pretty large amount, so we crammed a truck full of what was left. So full that you couldn't fully open the door when we finally opened the back. It took us 3 days to drive back to California and unfortunately we didn't take many photos. Sometimes you just have to put the cameras down and enjoy what's around you plus pulling a giant yellow truck off the road was only fun once.
I'm excited for what the future holds. It's going to be an adventure. I will have lots of new post coming soon. Now that my house is sold I plan on getting back to what I love. New look to my blog soon as well.
Have a wonderful weekend!
XOXO

There really was not much to see this time on our drive. All we were thinking about was getting home. We did however drive through Utah past the salt flats and had to get out and take some photos at sunset. What a cool place of just miles of land covered in salt. It looked like we were driving through snow.
Have a wonderful weekend!
XOXO
