Hi friends! I’ve missed you, dearly. And sincerely. Thank you for your sweet emails over the past few weeks checking on me. I have felt your love and concern and know that this little space on the internet means something to us all. And I’m thankful for it. For each of you.
So no, I haven’t decided to run away and never come back. We’ve been completely consumed by our new future — a new house! It’s been quite the roller coaster landing a spot to call home. We’ve traveled the whole state trying to figure it all out. Lo and behold it was right in front of our noses the whole time. Isn’t that how it always goes? Ha!
Days have been sun-up to sun-down working on change orders. This house was a spec with everything already selected; but we snagged it up just in time to switch almost all the interior and exterior features. I can’t wait to show you what I have planned!
I hope you’ll enjoy this new adventure along with us — this picture is a peek through the front door deadbolt hole, looking into our living room (kitchen is to the right).
Have a wonderful Monday! Big hugs to you all! xo
That’s wonderful! So glad you are okay. That is such a fun and busy time. Look forward to hearing from you and wishing you a wonderful time as you get things set up for your family!
We’ve missed you; but I knew you must be up to something. It’s not like you to not share what’s happening. SO SO SO excited to see this new chapter unfold! What an exciting time!
Missy, your heart is so big and life hasn’t been as sunny without your voice. So happy to hear all is well! HUGS!
I’ve been an avid follower since the very beginning. Your life is real. You keep it real with us and I learn from you and the posts you share. Thank you for checking in and letting us know all is ok. Congrats on the house! It looks so bright and beautiful!
Awww So HAPPY for you and the Men! So much to come! Can hardly wait for the next peak! Bless ya all! This will be one of your “best shopping sprees” EVER! 😀 Miss and love ya!
So happy to see you back! I’ve been following this blog for the last two years and you always manage to make it fun, interesting and most of all real! Thanks for checking in and I understand how the whole new home thing goes. We’ve moved 5 times in the last 5 years and I see another one in the next 6-10 months. Congratulations on landing the chance to design your dream home. I can only imagine how amazing it will be once you are finished with it! Best of luck doll!
We have missed you! I can soooo relate as we are in the process of building a new house. Sold the house where my babies grew up so it has been exciting but emotional. Can’t wait to see your new house! XOXO
Yay…… for you!!!! Now you’ll feel so much more settled!!! I’m so happy for you………. Lucky you to have all those fun choices to make your house….YOU!!! Have fun with all the details!!!! p.s. this is Cathy from Forever 21!!!! You’ll most likely be in home decor stores and not Forever 21!!!!! HAHA!! Take care!!!
You have impeccable taste, can’t wait to see what you will come up with!
I’ve followed your blog for years, literally. Will follow you always! Blessings, sweet friend!
Yay! You’re back! I too was worried the blog was ending. I am glad you found your home and all is well. I look forward to seeing pics of the new house and herring about all of your adventures. Remember to take time and drink some lemonade!

Oooh! How exciting for you guys! My fiancé and I are planning to custom build a home here in the not-so distant future so I know how you and your family must be feeling about creating this bespoke home for yourselves. All the best.

I was worried too! Congrats on the home!
You have been missed! I figured you were busy with house stuff.
My husband and I will be moving this weekend from the home we’ve rented for the last nine years. 🙁 we’re going to rent another home temporarily while we build.
Good luck! I can’t wait to see posts of your new home!!!
Oh goodie! A new adventure! I’m so happy to hear you are simply busy and not away for good. I can’t wait to see what you have planned!
Welcome home old friend! Sounds like leaving NC was hard but you do know how wonderful it is to grow up in CO. We moved back about 18 months ago from Washington, D.C. We live NE of Denver, near Brighton. Maybe you will be kinda close? Shot me an email if ya get a chance. Again, welcome back.
Good luck with the move! Change is so exciting, especially shared by loved ones:) xo, Hayley http://www.dailydoseofdarling.com
Change does a soul good…..
Lookking forward to following you on your family’s new adventure.
Glad you are ok. Missed your posts:)
Hi Missy!
Would it be possible to get the link of the site that you ordered your kitchen cabinet hardware from? I tried looking for your cottage kitchen post but haven’t been able to find it. 🙁 Your home looks AMAZING and I loved, loved, LOVED the pulls you chose for your cabinets. I just moved into a newly built home myself and was wanting to see if they had something similiar in a nickel finish.
Thanks so much!
