These two months (mid june-mid august) are crazy town for us, guys. So much is up in the air, living situations are in flux, and we're trying to make our lives make sense. I know it will be over eventually but it feels a little overwhelming right now. These photos are from a couple months ago, back before there were leaves on trees and there was still ice on the lake. I had just been given the go-ahead to introduce some solid foods to Jack so I captured his (hilarious) reaction on camera. It's crazy how fast time is moving right now, I can't believe I took these photos so long ago already!
Watching: GLOW on Netflix. I binged this in a few days and it was so much fun. After feeling so much intensity from The Handmaid's Tale (which I loved), it was so nice to just sit down and relax while watching a lighthearted feminist show. I was legit cheering alone in my house during some episodes. Like full-on, hands in the air cheering.
Drinking: Mango La Croix. It's the best one, you guys.
Stressing about: Housing. I'm doing my best to trust that the right situation will find us. I like controlling things around me so not knowing what's going to happen, and not having a plan is not my jam. I'm working on leaning into that trust and letting go of the anxiety.
Excited for: An unexpected week(ish) back in Anchorage! I flew down to Portland on June 18th with the intention of staying down here until the end of July in order to shoot a bunch of weddings, but since the house in Anchorage sold so quickly I'm going back to help Dan pack stuff, put on a big garage sale, and clean. It will be nice to get to say one last goodbye to the house I grew up in. And it'll be super nice to have a week with Dan before I have to come back down to the Northwest.
Busy with: The Drop Deads! I was able to bring all my inventory and supplies with me, so I've been busy catching up, organizing my biz-life again, and getting new colors in, which is exciting! Since I'll be flying back to Anchorage the 6-13th of July I won't be able to ship any orders that week, but I'll still be able to take orders and will ship them all out once I'm back in Oregon! In the meantime, if you want something shipped before then, just order before July 4th!
