SURPRISE, I'M BACK
Hello, hello! I was right, I couldn't stay away from this blog for a whole month. Three weeks will have to suffice! While I have been out I have done a ton and nothing at the same time (know the feeling?).
I went home for ten wonderful days to Minnesota to see my family and friends but most importantly to see my cousin Kelsey get married. We had a blast and it was great to see everyone and let down a little bit. Trips home are always go-go-go though, so I honestly came back more tired than when I left. Worth every (waking) minute though!
The move has been a slow but sure thing. Everything is moved in but I'm further behind than I would like to admit on the decorating/finding a place for all my things phase. The additional space is lovely though and I am taking full advantage of the new dishwasher in my life.
Lastly, I'm in the middle of the Blogging Your Way e-course with Holly Becker form Decor8. I'm learning so much from so many amazing teachers and am feeling refreshed on the blogging front and ready to kick-start it back up. Been a little behind on the readings and homework but hope to get all caught up this weekend. I know I said it before, but really, if you are thinking about starting a blog or need a course on it, take this class!

PRETENDING TO TAKE A BREAK
I've decided to take a mini vacation from the blog for the month of June. I'm going to miss this little guy but will be so busy this month that I just have to focus on a few other adventures.
Why will I be so busy you may ask?
Well, moving of course is taking up a lot of time and energy- especially if you are like me and are obsessed with decorating and redecorating your new space. It's a time sucker.
And, Saturday, the day after I'm officially moved into my new place, I will be heading home to Minnesota for ten days of R&R to spend time with my family and friends and see my cute little cousin Kelsey get married.
I'm also very excited to be taking the Blogging Your Way 2.0 e-course from Holly Becker of Decor8. I took her first Blogging Your Way course last fall and found it so wonderful that I've decided to move on to the second course. If you are a blogger or thinking about starting a blog, I 100% recommend participating. This summer's course is sold out but she teaches them a few times a year. The things you learn and relationships you make are invaluable. The class runs all of June so I want to dedicate all my blogging "juice" to learning and being active in the lessons.
Hope that explains it. And who knows, maybe I'll pop in once or twice to say hello! I hope you all have a wonderful start to your summer and I'll see you back here in the heat of it. You can of course follow all my moving and trip adventures through my Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts.
