So, I'm back early darlings. Moving didn't really go as planned. As we were all ready to go with our closing date last week, we were surprisingly notified that we needed additional paperwork unbeknownst to us and this set our closing date back a couple more weeks. Total bummer indeed.
I could definitely gripe as this whole home buying process has been slightly grueling to say the least. I however will refrain as I have heard many similar stories from first time homebuyers... so seems this is all run of the mill. And really, I am just thankful to actually be able to purchase a house.
On a happier note, I had the quite awesome opportunity to meet up with a dear blogger friend of mine. Chaucee of The Fieldbook (formerly Streets and Stripes), was one of the very first lovely ladies I met here on blogger. Coincidentally, she lives only a few towns over from the one I grew up in. As she just returned from a semester spent in Israel, we were able to arrange a meet-up in the cutesy little town of Lancaster. Though the night was wet and sticky as all get out, we have such great time of conversation at Prince Street Cafe as well as some heavenly chocolate at Cafe Chocolate in Lititz, and a bit of shopping around Target. I seriously can't say enough about this girl, as it was pretty darn cool chatting fashion, but even better to discover how much we have in common beyond the blogging world. We of course manage to pop in a little impromptu photo shoot...and Albert (who tagged along for part of the night) got in on it as well.
Chaucee was so sweet to snap so many lovely photos of me and Albert that I couldn't just pick one to post here, so I give you this:
We are cheeseballs for sure.
Have a sunny week! Later this week, another lovely lady will be taking over as I continue to get ready for my move. The saga continues....See you soon!
Love,
What a fun blogger meetup!
ReplyDeleteYou both look so cute, and what could be more fun than an afternoon of coffee and chocolate?

I'm so glad you loved the ones of you and Albert. I realized that I had some settings messed up on my camera and a lot more would have turned out...oh well we'll save it for next time : )

Aww such lovely pics and how great to get to meet up in real life.

ReplyDeleteThis might be one of my favorites of yours. I just love that minty color, it really looks good on you! You can pull off anything. Also, I REALLY want some socks like that! They're perfect to wear with sandals, and the ruffle is so feminine. It looks like you had a great time! Oh, and could you and Albert get any cuter? I think not.
