Life Lately – House + Moving!
I’m so excited to share that there is FINALLY a light at the end of the tunnel on our new build house! We have a closing date for the end of June and are planning to move in the first week of July. I can’t believe it’s finally happening!
This also means we are listing our current house soon and things are about to get CRAZY busy. In a good way, though! We are beyond excited. I should probably start thinking about furniture, too. If you have any ideas or know the best place to find a good sofa, let me know!
In the meantime, it’s about to be a busy month of closing(s), moving, and a whole lot of changes. I’ll definitely keep you guys posted over on Insta stories and plan on posting a house update with more “final” photos soon!
