I haven’t done a whole-hearted life update in awhile. Well, as you all know we sold our house.  The same home we brought Connor into and nurtured him for the first 5 years of his life.  It was a great home.

We put it on the market on a Friday and accepted an offer on Sunday. It all happened so fast it seemed like a whirlwind. After our house sold we put numerous offers in on homes and even got an offer accepted on a house we really liked. After inspection and some hard thinking we decided it wasn’t the one for us. It was more than we really wanted to spend and it wasn’t in our desired school district for Connor.  The market is crazy right now and it’s definitely shifted to a sellers market.

So, here we are a month later and we’ve settled into our 3rd floor apartment.  Yes…THIRD FLOOR!  I’m hoping by the time summer is over I’ll have a nice firm bod from climbing all these stairs.  (We’ve lived on the 3rd floor before, but we were about 10 years younger then!)  My body hurt after this last move!  Thank goodness for our movers they were like little sherpas and so thankful for them.  The apartments are very nice, it’s just such a change from being in a single home.  We have a pool and a gym and everyone has been great so far!  I like having no maintenance and feeling free of being tied down.  In that aspect it’s nice, but I am hoping we find a house in our desired area by Christmas or sooner.  Trying to teach Connor not to yell, jump around, & be mindful of our neighbors is another story…..someone send wine!

I got some fabulous new glasses from Firmoo a few weeks ago.  I’ve been wearing glasses more lately because my allergies and my eyes aren’t friends.  Don’t I look super smart and all?  Subscribe to Firmoo’s mailing list and get 15% off your first pair of glasses!

I ordered some new business cards for my photography.  I think they turned out fab.  I designed them myself.  I am looking for a few graduating seniors in the DFW area to take pictures of to add to my portfolio.  If you have a senior graduating or know one email me at beckylbranch@gmail.com 🙂

Speaking of photos, I snapped these of my boys a few weeks ago and love them!  We had a great father’s day & are so thankful for our Ter-Bear.

The cutest class I ever did see!  I just love this board of “When I Grow Up I Want to Be…”

Connor said he wanted to be a soldier and that melted my heart.  His Dad was a soldier and I think it’s so sweet he wants to be like his Daddy.

So…here’s to things finally calming down.  As life takes turns knowing God is always there beside us 🙂
