Oh, hell yes!

We’re going to the Amish Country tomorrow!!! I haven’t been there in years. Seriously, I haven’t been there since I was in elementary school and all I remember is eating bulk candy and wishing I could dress like a little Amish girl in a blue dress with a black apron and matching black bonnet. Oh, and Holly Hobbie boots.

City



These Ork posters aren’t anything new, but I wanted to post about them because I’ve been considering getting one for awhile now.
Jenny Beorkrem, a designer based in Chicago, created these city neigborhood posters “whilst searching for a Chicago neighborhood poster that wouldn’t cramp my style.” Love it.

Even though I no longer live in the NYC area I still want the Brooklyn one. If only there were a Cleveland one…HA!

Check them out on the Ork Poster site.

Truly,
Crystal

Tonight

This is what the sky looked like tonight! I figured if our posts are going to be so few and far between we could at least leave you with a beautiful image to look at!

The wedding was wonderful and the house is livable. Now, we can sit back and relax and hopefully POST MORE OFTEN!!!

New Beginnings



Things are moving forward quickly and our move is imminent! I’m officially done with work. Our apartment is almost completely dismantled. Our bags are literally packed. It’s a bit nerve-wracking and completely exhausting. I’m excited to finally get on with it, but I’m definitely sad to be leaving the place I called home for the past 8+ years. So many of our friends have been so supportive and it’s been wonderful spending time with everyone. We will miss you all dearly. I can’t even begin to describe the emotions and thoughts that are running through my head all day and night. I’m excited, scared, nervous, happy, relieved, exhausted, anxious, and everything else all at the same time. I’m hoping that this move will give us a kick-start into new and amazing parts of our lives. There is so much to look forward to and I haven’t truly expounded on all that there is to come. Basically, all aspects of our lives will be thrown for a loop. A new house, new job prospects (Freelance, here I come!), new environment, new (and old) friends, family. This may be my last post for a little while, but we’re going to try to set up shop ASAP so we can keep you up to date on all things shiny and new. Take care and see you on the other side.

Fondly,
Crystal
