Wow.

It has been quite some time since I have been here and posted. To be fair…COVID (if you know you know), but that’s not the only excuse. A lot has changed in the last few years. So how about we dive in?

I got married in June 2019 to my handsome man, Paul. We bought our first house and moved in in mid-November 2019. Shortly after that, COVID hit and we were sent to work from home in March 2020 (which is the bees knees by the way, so thanks COVID?). I remember thinking we would be back in the office in a couple weeks. Boy was I wrong.
I turned 30 during a lockdown, and wasn’t able to spend Christmas with my family for the first time in my entire life and we barely left the house for 2 years.
I discovered I have anxiety about, well, all the things and started seeing a therapist.
My best friend had a baby and made me an Auntie to the sweetest little girl in May 2021. Baby number two is on the way now. Crazy lol.
My beautiful Grandma, Audrey Nalewajek passed away in January 2022 which was the worst and I miss her everyday.
We sold our house, bought a new one and moved in in May 2022 and we LOVE IT.
I started a little garden and I truly can’t tell you how much I love seeing things that I tend to grow. Still working on the indoor plant thing, but I can grow tomatoes like no ones business.
Some of our best friends got married in July 2022 and October 2022 and they were really magical days to witness.

It truly has been a whirlwind over the last 3+ years, so I guess it makes sense that I haven’t had the time to sit down and write. Especially about traveling, since, well, I’ve barely done any for a long time.

However, now that the world is opening up and we can jet off to unknown lands, it feels right. So here I am, saying hello again and welcoming you back.

I’ve missed you and I really hope you’re doing well!
