Guess Who's Back

Thursday, January 31


moving in the rain...oh what fun!
Hi everyone! I'm back!

Quick recap: Florida was wonderful! We had the best time visiting my sister, and literally got back at 11:30 PM on Monday night and moved Tuesday morning. It took us two whole trips back and forth (about an hour and a half) in this huge trailer, and it started raining with like an hour still to go (the trailer is uncovered, might I add), but overall it went well!

Two weeks later, we're still unpacking and organizing everything, so ya'll might have to wait a couple more weeks for the "tour." BUT let me just say this: we are absolutely loving it here. There is so much to do in the area around us (I counted like 12 grocery stores within 10 minutes of us). And we literally could not have asked for a better apartment. Our view is beautiful, we have a whole lot more room than I anticipated and overall the experience has been great!

our beautiful view
One thing I've learned is that, if anything, I have too much stuff. 9 bottles of shampoo is NOT okay! Haha I have been doing return after return (Bed Bath & Beyond loves me -- not) and I still feel like there is more stuff to go through!

AND before I forget, some quick notes about the blog...

(1) It's official. Newlywed Moments' url is now newlywedmoments.com -- blogspot is gone!

(2) You're gonna see a whole lot more heartfelt posts around here, and less guest posts and product reviews / giveaways. Through my little "blog break" I realized that I have spent too much time focusing on things that aren't genuine content -- and I want to apologize for that. The reason I love these things is because (a) I think meeting new bloggers through guest posts is fun and (b) who doesn't love hearing about great products and then winning them?! But my purpose of writing this blog isn't for promotional reasons. It's to have fun, motivate myself and others, and build friendships with other like-minded women. So from here on, you'll still see these things BUT they will be mixed at a 1:1 ratio (at least) with my own, heartfelt posts.

Check back tomorrow for a fun post with more things that I've learned (subtitle: whoops! :)

Brianna said...

So great that your moving experience was (overall) positive! As a new follower and semi-new blogger as well, I appreciate what you've said about the guest posts, giveaways, etc. I, too, would love to post about genuine things in my life, but it almost seemed as if, in order to be a part of this blogging world, you had to have so much of the giveaways and guest posts... So happy to see someone else share in the genuine-ness of being YOU! :) Best of luck!

xoxo,
Brianna

I hate moving! I have vowed never to move again, but we'll have to wait and see how that goes. Looking forward to seeing what changes you have in store. :)

Gwen said...

That IS a beautiful view. Congrats on your move! I was just talking to another blogger yesterday about all of the products I have. I finally decided that I can't buy any more (especially hair products) until I either use the ones I have or realize that they won't work for me and get rid of them. My husband will be very happy about this!

Jana said...
