I haven’t been too vocal about being furloughed for six months, unfortunately due to feeling humiliated and embarrassed, as well as having bitterness to the entire situation. I returned to work at the beginning of this month and it’s been quite the adjustment. I learned to reframe my mindset after having a strict schedule of … Continue reading Laying Off My Furlough
“It was always you.” Jim and Pam; Ross and Rachel; David and Patrick; Hannah and Garrett. If there’s anything I’ve learned from sitcoms and scripted series, there’s nothing simple about love and living happily ever after. If I’ve learned anything, romance isn’t flowers being brought to you every day after work. It’s not chocolate and … Continue reading Tale as Old as Time
I cannot believe at all that it is December and that there is only one month left of 2020. As we enter the holidays, it’s perfectly normal to feel burned out and even more so in a global pandemic. I started my shopping extra early this year because I’ve been on unemployment since my furlough … Continue reading A No-Stress Season
2020 seems to be the year for either having babies or making them (I guess we’ll blame that on an eight month pandemic)! With my sister’s firstborn making an appearance this year and so many friends have sweet little girls, it’s difficult to contain my excitement. I consider myself well-versed in the way of party … Continue reading The Bebe Edit: A French, Winnie the Pooh Shower
G and I are getting MARRIED! It doesn’t really feel real or like anything has changed, but after announcing it on social media and sharing it via FaceTime with all of my closest friends, it’s starting to become more real. Obviously, I’ll be keeping you all updated with the wedding ventures as they come but … Continue reading Getting Married!
I’m no stranger to Austin, TX as you all know by now, but I very rarely spend the night in a hotel there or do anything outside of eating at my favorite restaurants and crashing the couches of friends. But after a tumultuous September, we decided to head down for an overnight in Austin and … Continue reading On The LINE
I am so freakin' thrilled that for the first time in six (!!) years, I am living in one house for more than a year! Crazy how time flies when I'm not moving state-to-state or changing mailing addresses. With that being said, now that we've lived in our little casita for a year, it was … Continue reading Small Rental Updates
I am back from an exhausting trip to Austin. Exhausting? Correct! Not just from traveling in a pandemic, concerned about every move I made, but also due to my newfound furlough at work and car troubles on my return trip. But that’s not what we’re here for on this fine Wednesday! I am here to … Continue reading I Still Love You
One of my favorite things in the world is packing up a bag and going on a picnic - whether it’s at the beach or a side stroll in Germany, it’s an incredibly relaxing and peaceful way to spice up a meal or snack. I don’t go on a lot of picnics in the United … Continue reading Packing a Picnic
When I went to college in 2014, I was stoked to meet the love of my life. Tinder was a thing but Bumble hadn’t quite dropped yet so I was prepared to do it the good-ole-fashioned-way. But, come summer of 2016, I had moved to Austin from Germany and I was ready for all the … Continue reading The Birds & The Bumble
