Moving Time!
Painting in Pearls

Happy Tuesday everyone! Hope you all stayed dry with the monsoons we have been having. My fiancé and I are moving this weekend so I thought the best way to start this new phase was to make my first blog post!! We are still renting but we are finally without a roommate and in a place that allows us to update & change. I am so excited! I have so many plans and updates for the property already. It is cute but it needs some TLC! As a avid mover (I have moved almost 20 times in my life), I have some helpful hints. If you have dogs, take them to a sitter. We have two large dogs and trying to move without them getting in the way is a feat! Therefore, we have schedule them to be gone most of the day. This causes less stress on them, allows us to get the job done quickly, and they will come back to a partially setup home. Start de-cluttering early. As the end of our lease neared, I began to go through boxes, cabinets, and drawers. Anything that had not been unpacked since we moved in, I don

Leaving Limbo
rachelmankowitz

Butterfly’s new room             We are moving. We’ve lived in limbo, intentionally, for fifteen years, avoiding people and places that would remind me of where I grew up and what I had to contend with. This neighborhood has been my witness protection program. It’s not that I live in the country or out in the boonies, but it takes a while to get to the expressway and that’s an important point on Long Island. It takes a while to get anywhere from here. I will miss the privacy of living off a small road. We’re moving to a major road, near a high school and a train station. I’m afraid of being so visible. I’ve been gradually moving back into the world, going to synagogue again, going to school, and finally moving into an area where I will run into people I knew before. I think I’m ready but there will be no way to be sure until I get there, and take the next step.             When we first moved here fifteen years ago, it was the beginning of April, and the trees smelled like honey.

A Bookworm’s Dilemma
[Insert Title Here]

I have a rather large collection of books currently stacked on a table in my room. It’s not all my books–I have two boxes from Denison that I never really unpacked except to pull out individual books, and a couple bookshelves in the corner, mostly full of books from my childhood that don’t get read very much anymore. These are just the books that were lying around my room in various stacks before I began organizing; that is, books I have read/been reading/meant to read/acquired during the past year or so. When I move to Louisville, I won’t be able to take most of my books with me. It would be silly to cart/ship a whole slew of books across the country when I have no guarantee I’ll be there more than nine months. (Luckily, there is a library close by, so new book acquisitions will not be a problem). But even so, I can’t bring NO books, because let’s face it, that would be even sillier, and also utterly unthinkable. So here comes the only less sl

Changes
the Buffalo Roamer

Throughout our time in Central America, Brayden and I did a lot of reflecting about our futures. Although we didn’t come up with any huge epiphanies regarding our professional lives, we did decide that now feels like the perfect time to flow with the momentum of change that has been our lives for the past 4 months, take another leap of faith and move to the “big” city: Portland, Oregon! Brayden and I have considered moving numerous times, to numerous places for numerous reasons. Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Hawaii have all been strongly considered for their beauty and outdoor recreational activities. The thing is, Oregon is both beautiful and chock full of outdoor recreational activities as well; the only real reason we’ve looked elsewhere is because of my incessant need for sun. Nine months of rain and overcast conditions is tough on me. But, only one thing would be even more tough though: leaving the moms. Brayden and I are super blessed to have strong bo

My first blog!
The Blonde Bombshell

Well i got all amped up to start this blog but when it comes down to it, i dont know what to say. Its either because i have way to much to say or im drained. Its midnight and im sitting here on my laptop looking at my husband, asleep on our couch. Hes a blasty blast.   Well to catch you guys up, we are moving back into our parents house. We found out we were paying triple for our 1 bedroom apartment and in order for us to save its time to move back home. The only bad part is, he has to go back to his parents home and me and our daughter have to move back to my moms. There just isn’t enough room for the both of us or people are just being selfish. Ill say more later on in the blog about our families i’m sure.  All in all the blog should be very interested if we are going to be split apart, married, and living at our parents homes again. I cant wait to blog everything tiny detail about our unfortunate lives and hopefully find the humor in it all!

The first time I ever heard your name was the end of summer. During dinner my parents just threw out the name “St. Thomas.” At the time I had no idea where exactly that was. They mentioned a job, and moving, and also that they were going down next weekend to meet the people that they would be “doing business with.” I stayed at my grandmothers house for the weekend and day dreamed about living in the Caribbean. The first time we met in December, we were only together for 3 days. I hated it, it being you. I hated the island and everything about it. When I left home it was 15 degrees, when I arrived on island, it was in the high 80′s; I was wearing uggs, leggings, and a sweater. I was dying. The first day on island consisted of me complaining about the heat, and being super tired. At night me and my sister stayed alone in the apartment that our step dad had been living in since October. The next morning was utter hell when we had to get up early and go to tou

It turns out that, since 9/11 (according to the airlines), if you accidentally buy your husband’s one-way airplane ticket to Jordan under his first and middle name instead of his first and last name, you can’t just change it. Instead, you have to refund it (for a fee) and then repurchase it. I’ve nobly conducted this research so that you don’t have to. Always proofread your expedia purchases, folks!

It’s My World
baby teej

Here it goes. A week and a half before my real life responsibilities kick in. Let's see how much fun I can have. Today I finished up some errands with Momma, took her out to where I'll be working, and got plenty of eating and drinking done. Tonight I'm headed out with a girl who just graduated from UW-Madison. I'm excited to get to know some people who will be staying in town. Let's seen what you've got for me Madison.   xo TJ Posted with Blogsy

I'm Emily Grote

Since this is my first blog post, I feel compelled to provide a little background about who I am. I’m a recent college grad, still trying to find my place. Two months after graduating I moved to Detroit for a job and it was probably the best decision I’ve made. It was a big step, considering I had lived in the same small city my entire life to that point. I love my new life. Detroit has no shortage of friendly neighbors, great musicians, speakeasies, good places for takeout, or places to go at night. I’m a private person. When I have to talk about myself I do one of two things: lie or make it concise.

5 Reasons Moving Is The Worst
The Curly Diaries

No friends, that is not an explosion at Goodwill or the aftermath of a robber ransacking my room. This is the current state of my “unpacking” post-graduation. Clearly, it is going quite well. I have said it before and I will say it again: moving is the absolute worst. I once heard a statistic that said moving is the second most stressful thing next to divorce. I don’t remember exactly where I heard it, but here are five reasons that they are right. Whatever time you expect packing/unpacking to take you, triple it. Organizing things back into the way they were once organized is NOT POSSIBLE. SO. MUCH. STUFF. Finding things that mean absolutely nothing to anyone but your best friends, and then spending twice as much time being nostalgic as you spent cleaning. Realizing that you won’t be moving back into the place you called home for two years with the people you’ve called family for far longer. Enough said. Sorry for the sappy post amigos, but my bitterness

Breaking away
Darling Folk

Darling folk, Confession time:  I’m watching The Voice and the girl (Amber something) sang Kelly Clarkson’s song Breakaway.  As I sat there listening to the lyrics it dawned on me how completely appropriate it is for my life right now. A lot has happened since the last time we chatted…  I was offered a job (!!!!!!!!!!) and moved back up to Northern California.  So I am now living up in East San Francisco Bay working at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in their Sea Lion Stadium!  I have only worked a few days, but I can already already tell how much I will love the people and the animals I’ll be working with for the rest of the summer.  I am seriously so excited guys! On another note, its been pretty obvious that I have been going through some stuff.  I’m not totally over all of it, but I am getting there.  But what I really want to talk about is how the kindness of strangers can make such an incredible impact on a person.  Here is a story of just that: When I w

The First Leap of Faith
somewhereintheworldoutthere

I dont’ think I mentioned this yesterday but actually earlier this week was randomly invited by this kid in one of my classes who I don’t really talk to to do this ropes course thing after school (it was like an after school activity and there was permission forms and things like that) and at first I was a bit iffy about it since I was scared but then I was still pretty curious about it and I thought back to this video by Zoella right here which I do recommend watching along with her anxiety video: Zoella suffers from really bad anxiety so hearing her say this just made me feel (as someone who doesn’t have it that bad) empowered (I know it sounds like a middle-age PTA feminist mom but roll with me) to go out and try stuff and I’ve been trying to lately and well This ropes course opportunity seemed like the perfect thing. At my last class of the day today I could just feel myself starting to have my flight (fight-or-flight) response starting to kick in and my hea
