moving day

I don't know if I want to jump up and down for joy... or cry tears of happiness. 

I'm being serious, my friends! Today is moving day! I am headed back to the great state of Alaska... to my home. 

When my husband left for Afghanistan back in December, I knew that moving back to Ohio would be the best thing for me at the time-- so I could finish school and spend time with my family.. because who knows when the next time will be that we actually live within driving distance from them!

My parents were so gracious to allow me to move back in and bring a little house guest (Gizmo) as well. Mind you I moved out the month after I turned 18, so I have been living in my own space for a few years now. It was an adjustment to go from having my own house to being back in my pepto pink zebra print room, but hey.... less space to clean, right? Honestly though I can't think of any down sides to coming home aside from the missing my friends part. 

Oh, and lets talk about my friends here. It has been great to be able to spend time with some of my friends from High School as well as being able to make some awesome new Blogging friends who live so close to me (Lauren and Shane). 

But this Ohio journey has come to an end-- and I am so ready to be back in the very first place where M and I made our home. I may not have a physical house yet (that will happen within the next couple weeks) but I have some amazing friends I am ready to see as well as lots of adventures I am ready to take my Dad on while he is here visiting with me. 

Oh and did I mention that I only have to wait a TEENY bit longer until my amazing husband is back here with me? The excitement I have is ridiculous. 

With changes in my personal life, there will be changes in my blogging life as well. I started this blog in February while living in Ohio, and I truly haven't got to express my passion for cooking! I love to cook and bake-- but rarely have while living here (due to lack of having my own things). So prepare your selves for some serious healthy recipe overload once I get moved in, as well as an array of Juicing recipes. I plan on getting more into photography, so I can truly capture Alaska and all it's beauty and share it with you here on the blog. And finally, my fitness craze will also be highlighted more often than not here on the blog. 

I am excited to really be able to show you my loves and passions the way I have wanted to for months now. However, work with me here for a little bit-- as I am moving across the country, searching for a house, and redecorating all before my husband comes home. 

Until then, I bid you a-due Ohio and thank you for allowing me to be graced in your bipolar weather presence for the past 8 months.
