Hello!
The last post I made was during the peak of Summer, and while I was hoping to keep the momentum going on this project, LIFE hit hard with our move back to the US from Europe, settling into a new house in a new city, and our movers in Germany LOSING our parts box for all of our stuff. The move was a bit of a disaster, and the first 3 weeks in our new house was spent sitting on camping chairs instead of our couch and blow up mattresses loaned out by wonderful neighbors and friends. Our delivery of our household goods was delayed and it took about two months for us to really get settled. We also had to buy new things that were destroyed in the move (welcome to military life!). It happens, but we feel really blessed to be settled and back into a routine with school for our oldest son and getting to know the DMV area.
With that being said, I took a slight hiatus to focus on getting the family settled and MYSELF back into life in the USA! I’m not going to lie, after 3 years of living in the slow German Countryside, I’m experiencing a bit of excitement to be back and take advantage of all the amazing things in the US, but also experiencing major culture shock! Although we currently live in quaint pocket neighborhood in Virginia, we turn the corner and BOOM: BIG CITY LIFE! Quite different from the calm German Countryside. But it’s good and God is good. We are grateful for this opportunity, even if it’s only for a one year assignment.
I’m excited to get back to blogging, content creating and getting this podcast kicked off. Stay tuned for some upcoming Fall fashion trend boards and elements of motherhood and sharing my faith.
Stay Unapologetically Glam
