3 homes and 3 kids later...

Hi Blog,


It's been a long time.  I am sitting in bed while on vacation right now and Evan is sleeping, so I thought I should get back to you.  I had a tumble account for a while, but I mainly used it to collect inspiring quotes and I haven't really used it for a long time now.  I have been told by a few people that I should blog.  Who knows why exactly, but at the very least I am motivated to have a space where our family journal can be recorded and will never get lost and where I can keep all of my favorite memories of my kids in one place.  Instagram was useful for a while for recording memories until I started to have too many things I wanted to post and became self conscious of flooding everyone's feed and also realized I wanted more written content to go along with the images.  And so back to the blog.  Mini update- we have three kids now, moved from dc to Boston to Belmont to our first House in Belmont.  Also, an update on my goals at 25 which I just re-read- I don't bake pastries- in fact I very rarely even eat gluten.  darn.  Big fail on the pastries.  I have NO drapes in my home right now - pottery barn or otherwise! We are STILL trying to get our grownup house moved into and drapes have not happened yet.  I have kind of gotten around voice mil on my phone by having a message that suggests a text instead of a voicemail.  I have painted like one thing in the last year.  I do not play the guitar.  I have three kids and have not cut my hair off (which is helped by the fact that I am too busy with my three kids to get more than two haircuts in a year which rare times have not seemed to have fallen on days after I had an impulse to cut all my hair off. yet.)  All of my close girlfriends who I knew back then are now married, which is fun for us all- 4 wed that summer.  I think I am a good sister because one of mine has been willing to live with me for the past 4 months- yay! And I think I am a good wife because right now I am letting Evan sleep while I am wanting to chat.
