The 90s called...

...they can't have their steps back, sorry.

I've been dying to get a hair cut since before Krista's wedding but held off because I wanted something a little different, edgy and maybe not wedding appropriate. With 2 weddings coming up and with 2 major roles upon me, Matron of Honour and Emcee, I held off until I couldn't take it any longer.
I've been fantasizing about getting a little side shave.
Honestly making the appointment was the hardest thing, I was a little apprehensive as I've spent close to 2 years growing it to its current length, however I finally grew the balls to call and make the appointment.
All I can say is after a slight anxiety attack with the chunk of hair was initially cut off, I love, love, love it.
It's perfect. It's not too crazy, or too "Tank Girl" as B put it.
And thank goodness for that because that is a look I don't think even I can handle.

On the move, again.

We are currently gearing up to move, again.
I feel like all we ever do is move.
We're moving from this little baby. Our first home as a married couple. We've grown attached to the comforts of its space.


If it were up to me and I would either A: have an endless flow of cash to pay the ridiculous $1,000/mo. on someone elses mortgage or B: buy it, if I could afford to. Then we'd be in a whole different situation.
When we moved in we knew that our landlords were eventually going to sell it as they had to move to St. Catherines for their jobs and the upkeep and mortgage payments on two houses were becoming too much even with tenants, we just didn't anticipate it being so soon. When we found out that we would eventually have to move, pending it's sale, we began looking into purchasing a house of our own. A daunting task that I don't wish upon anyone sane.
When you hear someone describe it as a "roller coaster of emotions" it's just that, times twenty.I can say that we weren't prepared for all that we were about to be faced with and that we didn't handle the outcome very well.We didn't get the house we wanted, or the mortgage to pay for it. There were a lot of obstacles we faced in the Real Estate world and quite frankly we weren't ready for it just yet.
Having to move from where we are now is both frustrating and a blessing in disguise. We can now begin to realistically pay off our student loans and save for a future house.We'll be moving in just under a month, which is sending me into panic mode.
Hopefully this is the last time we have to move before buying a house, I don't know if I have another unnecessary move in me.

A resurrection of sorts.

A little bit of a blog resurrection happening here.

There is so much happening in our lives at this moment and it seems like this is the best way to share everything new, exciting and stressful.

The recent months and the ongoing stress that has come along with them has fed my anxiety to at times immeasurable levels and for that mostly everyone has been sort of out of the loop.

Hopefully I can keep this and everyone updated.

Stay tuned.
