Home Is Where the Heart Is

Well, I’m just going to go ahead and jump right into this one, we moved! Again. Also halfway across the country. We ended up right where we started, Orlando and we’re here for good as we both agreed that moving again is not in our foreseeable future.

I’m not going to go into too much detail as to what happened as we prefer to keep some things to ourselves, but there again a little insight never hurt anybody. In short, after having Brooklyn, we discovered that we’d much rather be closer to family and friends because, as they say, “It takes a village to raise a child.”

That statement couldn’t be further from the truth. We found ourselves just wanting a day to ourselves from time to time and It was getting harder and harder not having family around. With me trying to juggle a full-time job plus a baby (also, a full-time job, I don’t care what anybody says) and Kevin working at least 50 hours a week, we were becoming disgruntled. Luckily, Kevin found a career opportunity and so we thought it would be in our best interest to take a leap of faith and come back home.

There was definitely a lot of good that came out of Texas and while we thought it would be our forever home, turns out it was just another chapter in our book. I plan on writing a few posts on some of our awesome Texas findings, good places to eat, and even better things to do while in the Dallas area so look for those coming soon!

We also made some lasting friendships and they are already planning a visit to Orlando! Along with that, we learned a lot about ourselves, Kevin gained an abundance of information that he took away from his job, our marriage became stronger, and after a while, we were financially ready to grow our family. As sad as I was in Texas when I look back at the good which came out of that situation, I can’t help but be grateful for our two-year story that unfolded in Dallas.

What else is new? Brooklyn turned 4 months hold on February 4th! We’re currently living graciously in my parents’ house while we look for a home. Yes, a HOME! No more apartments, hooray!

Look for my upcoming posts about a new business that’s in the works, our Prague trip, Brooklyn’s birth story, and much more.

As always, thank you for reading!

xoxo,
Ashlyn
