Well, after several comments
from friends and family about my lack of blogging, I finally decided it might be
time to check in! It’s hard to believe we’ve already been back home in Portland
for a month (as of tomorrow!). I am happy to say that my reason for not
blogging isn’t just because we’ve been busy catching up with people, but also
just because we’ve spent a good portion of time just being lazy and getting
settled into life in Portland! Corey are I have both been back at work for a
while now (took a whopping 3 days off!) and have been living between my
in-laws’ house and my mama’s house. We’re currently searching for a place of
our own and hoping to be out of the parent’s house by the end of the summer.
But I can’t complain about living rent-free and having dinner cooked for us
when we get home each night. Yeah, we’re pretty spoiled at the moment!
A lot of people have been
asking if we miss Amsterdam. Mostly, I must admit we’re just happy to be home.
Everything feels so familiar and comfortable. But there are certainly times my
heart aches for those canals or our perfect apartment where we made such
amazing memories. There will always be a big, special place in my heart for
Amsterdam.
So what have we been up to?
Lounging by the pool, eating lots of home-cooked meals, venturing downtown for dinner + drinks with friends, welcoming our new nephew Ryder into
the world, and working on checking things off our summer
to-do list. Time is flying!
I have an overwhelming amount
of travel posts to blog (some even going back as far as Switzerland in
December!) and I can’t wait to get back to it. I keep telling myself this week is the week I’m going to get
back to blogging. And somehow it just doesn’t happen. I know I just need to make
it a priority! I’ve just been having too much fun being lazy :) So bear with
me… I’ll be blogging regularly again soon…
Hope you’re all doing well
out there! I’ve so appreciated the few emails and comments I’ve gotten from
those saying they miss my posts. It makes me feel so good, you have no idea!
And a little guilty, but mostly just really good. I miss you guys and can’t
wait to be a regular blogger again soon! Thanks for hanging in there with me!
Below you’ll find a bunch of iPhone photos from the last month at home!
