Well hey there friends and happy hump day! It’s been a week that’s for sure. I know I haven’t been sharing much detail with you all about what’s been going on behind the blog so I wanted to fill you in on why I might be away for a little bit here and there.
It all started about 8 months ago when we found out that Zach’s company was going to be merging. This happened about three years prior when we lived near Chicago and found out that we’d be moving to Atlanta in little over two months! We packed everything up and made the move down to this southern state. It was such an exciting time for us and our little family.
Three years have passed and we’ve learned so much. We’ve moved into our dream home, created a lief on our own, welcomed Landon last year, celebrated countless birthdays, engagements, births, weddings and more. It truly felt like a place that we just wanted to consider where we would put roots down. But of course- that all changed a few weeks ago when we found out that Zach was asked to come back to Chicago for his job ( plus a great promotion).
Of course we had a long talk about it. There are so many pros and cons to staying and leaving but ultimately, we decided that going back would probably be best, mainly to be closer to family. My parents would be about 20-30 minutes away and Zach’s family is about 4 hours. For those of you that have children, I’m sure you can understand being near family is such a blessing.
For the last few weeks, we’ve been dealing with so much. We’ve navigated a trip up to Chicago coming next week to look at homes, putting our own home up on the market and trying to figure out how we can cram everything in with seeing our incredible friends in the next few weeks that we have while we’re down here. Of course we have a few trips planned that were already in the works before we are heading back to Chicago which I’ll try to be sharing with you all.
In any case, I know you will understand when I’ll be here and there on the blog while we finalize and get everything in order here for the next few weeks. Be sure to follow along on my Insta Stories to see where we are and what we’re up too. I do have a few fun things in the works and can’t wait you all updated on how it works!
Oh wow, I'm sure you have a lot going on with the move. That's awesome about the promotion though, and that you'll be closer to family again!

Big changes that I'm sure are exhausting, nerve-wracking, and exciting. While it'll be a lot of work and some stress, at least you're going back near family which always makes things easier!
Its nice to take a little break from teh blogging when you need. Especially when you have so much going on. Its just too hard to keep it all going at times and I understand!
So many blessings fro your family! I hope things keep going well
I can't wait to see you once you're home!
It is always better to be close to family. Plus, Chicago is just fabulous. Probably my favorite city. Good luck with everything! 🙂
Congrats on your husband's promotion! I know that moving is such a hassle, but it is sooo nicer to be closer to family too. We live far away from ours and it's always so hard.
Good luck on the move!! That's awesome that you will be closer to family!
How exciting! Congrats and best of luck on the move!
Awww I'm so sad to hear you are moving but it sounds like the right choice for you and your family! Bittersweet.
Big changes (including moving out) can be overwhelming, but it's fresh new start. Wishing you all the best (and energy) for the move!
good luck with all the moves 🙂 i am sure moving closer to the family will be really nice for them and you.
how exciting that you'll be back with family again! good luck with the move!
That's so exciting!! Awesome to hear!
How exciting for you guys! I'd do the exact same thing. There's nothing like being close to family 🙂
That is great news CONGRATS!! It is amazing how things turn so fast!
Congrats on your move! It'll be nice to be closer to family. My sister and her husband moved back to MN (from Chicago, actually) after my niece was born to be closer to family. It's really helpful to them to be closer to my parents and me, because we can step in whenever they need help. And it's nice for us to be a big part of my niece and nephew's lives! I love being able to pick them up from school and take them places on their day off to spoil them. 🙂
