Good morning, friends!
This blog is coming to you in real time after the most exhausting weekend ever. I ended up having to soak in an epsom salt bath last night because I honestly thought my limbs were going to fall off. They don’t feel much better today. Oh well, such is life!
But the good news is: WE’RE IN! We’re 90% settled. And my little family is back together. I was pretty sure my little heart was going to explode over the weekend. Every so often I’d just stop, look around me, and smile. It’s been a long, long road, friends. Things since the first week of December have been hard. There’s just no beating around that. But now…we’re home. We’re home. We’re home.
In other news, I had to ask someone to reach a bag of chips off the top shelf at the grocery store last night, so there’s that. I felt like I needed to have #shortgirlprobs written across my forehead. I literally stood in the aisle for a good minute staring up at the chips thinking I’m not leaving here without them…but how will I do this? Just as I was contemplating climbing the shelf (yes, the chips were that important to me…it’d been a long weekend), a adorable tall couple rounded the corner. They effortlessly just reached up and snatched the bag for me. Life.
I finally gave myself a simple manicure last night. Of course, not before dropping a stupid ikea lamp and shattering it into a gazillion pieces all over the office carpet. Oh, and I forgot to mention…J accidentally left our vacuum at our old house. So that was fun. Can I just say how freaking nice it feels to have my nails all the same length and not have my cuticles be taking over my life. As Kel and I were tag teaming my box of polish up the stairs she goes “can we just let the record show that we’re having to tag team a box of nail polish.” Yeah. I know I have a problem.
Anyway! To end out the most random post of my life, I have a little giveaway for y’all! If you live in the Raleigh area, then you’ve heard of the Southern Women’s Show. I’ve been a few times, and it’s honestly like heaven within the same four walls. There are so many different vendors, shows, shopping, panels, everything! This year, they’re having many special guests including Randy Fenoli from Say Yes to the Dress, who will be giving an empowering talk, and Peter Facinelli, who will be sharing some of his behind the scene secrets!
The show runs April 24-26, and it’s honestly just a really good time. Grab a girlfriend or your mom…or hey, even drag your man friend. He won’t admit it, but he’ll have fun too. I mean, c’mon. Free samples of wine? I’m in.
Yay for having your nail polish back!! Your nails look amazing as always! I'm with you on how important a bag of chips can be — I'm glad that couple came around the corner! And hooray for finally being moved in! I'm so glad you got a chance to look around and smile! 🙂
I'm glad that you have your nail polishes back! Sounds like everything is going really well so far, I'm happy for you!! 🙂
Holy cow! Your collection! Ha!
Yay for having painted nails again. 🙂
Yayyy for being settled with everyone!! Moving is hard work for sure.
Lol… see, I knew you'd have an update. 🙂 THAT NAIL POLISH, THOUGH. Oh my word, friend. I love that you have an entire shoe organizer devoted to nail polish. You're the best. I'm SO happy you guys are settled in!
So glad that you guys are getting settled in and finally getting your life back in order 🙂 I know it has been a crazy few months!! And look at your nail polish! I always set up our bathrooms first…which includes nail polish and beauty stuff! I hope you guys have a great week!
Yay congrats on getting settled! Nothing like a fresh manicure to make you feel pulled back together.
You're right – I should – off to follow you on Instagram right now 🙂
Yay for getting moved in! I can't believe ya'll got it all done in a weekend! And your polish collection amazes me! That's a lot of polish!!
Yay for getting settled! LOL at your bag of chips story, but that's what tall people are for right? My husband is 6'5" and I definitely utilize that when I need to! 😀 WOW your nail polish collection!
Holy cow lady! That is a polish collection for sure! Dang girl! So glad you're settled in! I can imagine that is just a huge relief.
Cannot wait to see you tomorrow … And the new place!! Xo
So glad you're settling in nicely!
What kind of chips were they? I'd have climbed the shelf.
Yay! Congrats on getting all settled, that is definitely a wonderful feeling!
omg haha I love that it took two of you to carry all of your nail polish– it looks so pretty displayed on the door like that! So glad you're in and all settled 🙂
Yay for being almost 100% settled, it is such a good feeling. 🙂
So so happy for your girl!!!! 🙂
wow, your nail polish collection is intense! i think i have like 5.
hey, i want to feel sorry for your short girl problems, but tall girl problems – everyone always asks me to get things, even when they are ridiculously out of my reach as well.
True story: I once needed something from a high shelf and of course it was in the back and there was no way in hell I could reach it. Ordinarily I have my husband–who is tall–with me on such occasions. Not this time. Rather than continue to wait for a tall person to randomly show up, I said screw it and left without what I needed. Short girl problems are real.
PAINTED NAILS HALLELUJAH!! Lol. So glad yall are moved and settling in, gush. Love you!
Your nails are so fresh and pretty and mine are still nekkid. Seriously….I'm like huh? OK Joey, I'm so happy you are 90% and I can tell from this post your joy. That is pretty amazeballs. I cannot wait to read more posts of fun times in Cha-town. Glad the tall people rescued you….I just scale the damn shelves like a prison escapee.
So happy you are getting settled in and feeling comfortable! And reacquainted with your nail polish! 🙂
YAYAYAY!!! I am SO SO SO happy for you, my friend. I miss having you down the road in my neck of the woods, but I totally am pumped to have you in Charlotte. And your nails look amazing, per usual. xoxo
totally pumped to have you here! me you & kristina all need a girls night!
Your insta picture made me so happy! Glad to see all your important things are unpacked 😉 Also love your system!!!
YAY for reuniting with your polish!! How tall are you? I feel like I've read it on your blog before, but I totally forgot. I always superimpose my own height (5' 8'') onto everyone whose blogs I read, which is just ridiculous, haha.
I had to tag one of besties and former roommate in your nail polish photo because we both used to go gaga over nail polish {still do} and we bought a see-through box for the huge collection which turned into a bigger mess. I hope that photo inspired her to maybe go buy the same and put her polishes away that way. 😉 Hahahahaha
