Goodbye 2015!

December 31, 2015

We actually took these on Christmas but I didn’t get around to sharing them. 2015 has been pretty great. I traveled to my first tropical location (I’m still dreaming about standing in the Caribbean Ocean while ringing in 2015 and my birthday-it was magical). I went to a conference and met some more wonderful business ladies. I have slowly and steadily built up the wholesale side of my business. I spent most of 2015 planning my wedding. I went swimming so much during the super hot Seattle summer. I got married to the above hunk. We traveled all over France and Portugal on our honeymoon. I finally introduced cuff links for men! I traveled to Michigan (my home and heart state) to be a part of my first ever art show there and was full of pride. Had a lovely holiday season quietly with Walker and a few friends around. It’s been a year of great change, lots of personal growth which I feel really good about, and a whole lot of fun. It’s constantly on my mind what is next and where I want to be heading but for now I’ll just enjoy what has been and share the last day of the year with people I love.

1 year in seattle!

September 3, 2013

Today is exactly 1 year since I arrived in Seattle. I had spent 2 months in Michigan with my family and finally decided I would head out to Seattle after labor day. I had shipped out a few boxes and packed the rest in a couple of suitcases and both excitedly and sadly flew out to Seattle.

Walker met me at the airport (luckily our friends who had just moved to Eugene, OR were visiting for labor day weekend and he borrowed their car) and we drove into my new city and to my new apartment. We unloaded the car and all 4 of us went to a coffee shop before our friends drove back home. I now know the coffee shop is pretty close to our house but at the time its location seemed a mystery to me. Plus I was a little out of it.

Our friends headed home and then it was just Walker and I. He walked me around the neighborhood a little bit and then we found a place to eat. We explored some more and then made our first meal as a couple living together. It was a big day of new things and I’m sure I was pretty emotional but here I am one year later. I made it, I even kind of like it here, and the best news- we just found a new place to live that is absolutely perfect for us! Or at least I really hope it is. There will be more details on that to come.

For now Seattle thank you for 1 mostly good year.

Walker moved to seattle a year ago last june

June 12, 2013

Things have been a little hectic around here with all the weddings and traveling that has been going on. I sort of missed the timing on looking back to when Walker moved to Seattle but I still wanted to share.

Last year at the very beginning of June Walker moved to Seattle. I went along and took a 2 week vacation with him while he settled in. Here are some of my favorite memories from that time. Even though it was Walker’s second time there it was all new because the first trip lasted about 36 hours and was basically spend interviewing.
