life updates↓ WE ARE MOVING! we’ll be moving back to Missouri in early May! when a job opportunity opened up for Andrew, we snatched it RIGHT up so we could live close to Andrew’s family! we’ve been in limbo about moving since this Fall, so we had to put starting a family on hold - now that we know our move timeline, we are planning to start the adoption certification process over again in Missouri things have *definitely* turned out different than we expected, but I think it’ll end up better than anything we originally planned! we toured some places in Missouri this weekend and found an adorable rental with lots of windows (for my plants ofc 🌿) and a peaceful little pond in the backyard! I’m also planning to pursue content creation full time once we move!!! I’m OVER THE MOON about this and so excited to put more energy into my creativity and hang out with you more here on IG!!! 🥂 I’m truly so excited for all these changes, and also super sad about all the wonderful people and things we’re leaving behind in Iowa! it’s so hard to move when life has been so amazing here and we’ve made so many wonderful memories! • • • • • • • • • my life lately, chapter of my life, life updates, life changes, moving states, lifestyle • • • #lifeupdates #movingstates #movingupdate #capegirardeau #contentcreation #contentcreator #lifelately #chapterofmylife •

sunshine, flowers, and migraines were the theme of this week 💁🏼‍♀️ my migraines are definitely less intense this week, but they still make it difficult to look at a screen for more than a couple hours per day - I can’t wait for my new glasses to come in!🤞🏻 🍓 we went to Pinseekers (sort of like top golf!) with friends and I had so much fun! I ofc was there for the drinks and snacks only 💁🏼‍♀️🥂 🍓 I picked up some more Trader Joe’s flowers! They really do brighten up the kitchen so well!!!

SWIPE → to see Munchie’s rainy day setup 🌧️ this week had lots of highs and lows! last weekend was so sunny and gorgeous outside and we were able to go hiking and enjoy the weather! but I was also struggling with a migraine most of the week, so it kind of put a damper on everything! I’m getting a new glasses prescription, so fingers crossed that does the trick! 🤞🏻 🌿 we went to my absolute FAVORITE hiking trail and spent some time on the outlook over the lake 🌿 this nail design was definitely one of those *trust the process* things, but it turned out SO AMAZING!!!
