Hey y’all, it’s been a minute. I haven’t posted on Instagram & LIKEtoKNOW.it since August 26th & haven’t posted an actual blog post since June. I thought I’d make a short post about what’s been going on and where I’ve been!
I don’t think I’ve mentioned on social media yet, but my husband, Mikey, and I are getting ready to start building our dream/forever house! We actually started the whole process back in April with purchasing our land & getting our plans started. Mikey works for a home builder, so it makes some of the building process a lot easier. We just had our construction loan closing so we should (fingers crossed) be in our new home by April! I’ll share updates along the way.
So, before we could finalize everything with our new house, we had to sell our old house. I’ll be honest it was pretty sad saying goodbye to our home. We built it only 3 years ago, and did not have intentions to build a new house this soon, but things just lined up for us to start a couple of years earlier than we planned. We officially sold our house on August 18th and moved into a 2 bedroom townhouse. It’s definitely been an adjustment but we were just so grateful that we could find a rental that would let us bring all 3 of our dogs.
Selling our house & moving to a new place definitely took a lot of my time and focus away from social media and just when I was ready to start posting again Hurricane Ida came rolling through Louisiana and did a number on us. We were without power for 14 FULL DAYS and the day the lights came back on was probably one of the happiest days of my life…no joke. Being without power for that long, not working for three weeks, and being in a new place was taking a toll on my mental health. I’m so grateful that things are finally slowing down and I can focus on blogging & posting again!
Thank y’all so much for reading and supporting this little hobby of mine 🙂
