Good morning girlies. It’s Friday, and my body seems fully aware of it. The past few days felt a little foggy thanks to my luteal phase, but this morning I woke up feeling like myself again. Lighter. Calmer. Ready to meet the day instead of negotiating with it.
House update because it’s a big one. We are officially closing on Monday and moving in on Tuesday. That sentence still makes my heart skip. Originally, we were meant to close today and move in tomorrow, but plans shifted at the last minute due to someone not doing their due diligence. After months of having this date on the calendar, it was frustrating to hear just days before that it suddenly couldn’t happen.
I’ll admit it tested my patience. I like to plan. I like knowing what’s coming so I can prepare my time and my emotions. I understand that life isn’t always neat, but this felt like something that could have been avoided when everyone knew the timeline well in advance.
Still, I’m choosing to meet the change with gratitude. We close Monday, and I’m more excited than ever. I’m down to just three boxes left, though somehow I keep needing to buy more because I truly did not realize how much we’ve accumulated over the years in this apartment. Every drawer holds a memory, every shelf another reminder of how long we’ve been here. The essentials will be packed the day we leave, and thanks to the date change, I’m taking my time now instead of rushing through the final stretch.
This move feels like a true step forward for us. A new chapter in every sense. I couldn’t be prouder of my husband and the life we’re building together. Not as a brag, but as a reminder that good men still exist and I get to grow alongside one of them.
Tomorrow will be busy but familiar. Running errands, patching holes in the apartment, cleaning out the empty rooms, and giving our fur babies a much needed bath. We’ll stop by our usual coffee and lunch spots too, the ones that have quietly been part of our routine through this season.
Outside of house things, one of my New Year resolutions has been learning a new language. If you’re thinking about starting one too, I really recommend an app called Speak. It’s been way more enjoyable for me than Duolingo. And if you’re into astrology and cycle tracking, Stardust is a great app. My sister in law recommended it and I’ve been loving it.
On a completely unrelated but very important note, I need Miley Cyrus to confirm whether she’s doing a Hannah Montana anniversary concert. I need to know if I should be purchasing furniture or concert tickets. Time sensitive information, honestly.
I hope January has been kind to you so far and that it continues to unfold gently. With a little luck, next Friday I’ll be writing to you from the comfort of my new home, sitting in my writing corner, surrounded by boxes that finally feel worth unpacking.
So here we are:
One Friday that feels like a deep exhale.
One pause that asked me to breathe instead of rush.
One home waiting to welcome us.
One love I’m endlessly thankful for.
And me, right where I’m meant to be and ready for what’s ahead.
