what I've been up to lately

So much has been going these last few weeks and it has completely worn me out! I've been the worst blogger ever and I'm so sad about it. I love reading about what's going on in your lives and sharing fun things that I'm up to. But sometimes life gets in the way and blogging gets put on the back burner. So what have I been up to lately? Not a whole lot but the things I have been doing has taken up every spare second of the day. I'm so ready to just have a lazy day where I literally do nothing but breathe.
 Funny Weekend Ecard: I intend to spend my day doing as little as is humanly possible without actually dying.

First, I quit my job. It was the hardest decision I've ever made and I shed a lot of tears but I made up my mind and haven't looked back. I realized my heart just isn't in to doing hair anymore. I found myself complaining to Dave almost daily about work and I was stressing out about it. The hardest part about it has been receiving texts and calls from clients wanting to schedule appointments and having to break the news to them that I'm no longer doing hair. They've all been so supportive and understanding and it makes it a bit easier. I also decided to go back to school this fall to get my degree in something I'll really enjoy for the long haul. I am so excited to start this new journey and can't wait to see where it takes me.

Second, we only have about two years left in Texas so we're getting our house ready to put on the market. Holy crap monkey balls! It is so hard fixing it up and keeping it spotless at the same time. Especially with a four year old! We're getting pretty close to being finished with it but man is it stressful, time consuming and expensive! I definitely don't want to buy another house until we're in a permanent location!! So if you have any advice for first time home sellers, please speak up!

Third, we have a few vacations coming up in the next couple months and I never knew how hard it was to plan out three different trips all at the same time. For real Batman, I get everything mixed up. Goodbye bank account, and goodbye sanity. But once we're on our much needed vacations, it'll all be SO worth it!

So that's me lately. Dave and I are so overdue for a date night it's ridiculous! Luckily we have plans this weekend. Finally! So happy that the weather is warm and beautiful and allows me to play outside.

  4. Awww. I'm sure that's a difficult decision, but sometimes you just need to do what's best for you. I think when we get too worn out... and we're unhappy with what we're doing, it makes it hard to give time to anyone else. The people who matter most to you will also benefit from you doing what you need to do for your happiness. :)

    I don't know anything about selling a house, but I do know a lot about moving and not wanting to buy until you're settled somewhere. Just remember that everything always works out how it's supposed to. Happy Thursday to you!

  8. Girl, good for you! That's the great thing about careers.. you can always find something else you love! Sorry it was hard! I totally agree about the house.. Can be so annoying with all that! We bought one when we were first married but now we live on the other side of town and need to sell it!
