20sb Project: Love Story!  I’ve gotten six AMAZING submissions so far, and i’m looking for 50 total!  Send me your love stories!  The good, the bad, all of it!   This is going to be pretty incredible if the first few submissions are any indication.

And getting to do it with a pretty super fantastic boy…

And getting ready to live here.

Settlement is in SIX DAYS (well, five really), so posting might be a little bit here & there for the next week or so. (Just when I was trying to get better at this whole regular posting thing too!)  But, never fear… I’ll be back.  :)

That all sounds so exciting! I hope this last week before home ownership goes smoothly!

Oh, and I want to see more of your photos!

i want to be you. it’s like your whole life is coming together for you, and i can’t wait to be there in my own. I know it’s taken you a lot to get there, and even though I don’t even know you, it makes me proud of you that you’re making it happen!

Yay you! That top photo is absolutely GORGEOUS! And if you need help setting up a portfolio site, let me know.

I love the Love Project, and I totally want to submit our story. But I’ve been saving it for a special time. So maybe I’ll submit something else?

I hope you’re having a lovely morning!

I completely forgot about the love story! I’ll get cracking on that one for ya–thanks for the reminder!

Good luck with the closing and getting everything the way you want it in the house!

I love that first photo! Great shooting. The pic of you and the boy and you and the house? Adorable. Good luck with the settlement. Can’t wait to see pictures of moving day, and decorating and everything else!

That first photo is amazing! May I ask what camera you use? I got Lightroom a little while ago but haven’t attempted to use it yet.

Everything sounds like it’s coming together for you :) The house looks gorgeous and there’s nothing better on a summer night than a baseball game!!

That first photo is GLORIOUS. You are definitely getting better and better with each photo! You have a natural talent, and it’s so inspirational to see you grow as an artist! Seriously. You are amazing.

And, um, I’m just going to say right now that I’m really attempting to keep my ridiculous level of jealousy (YOU HAVE A HOUSE AHHH) at bay. I have no doubt it is going to be the cutest place ever. I will want to visit and bring you flowers and wine ASAP. (You know, if that were possible.)

Oh, and I do want to submit a story, but I’m terrible when I HAVE to write about a specific thing. It’s a little ridiculous. But I’m racking my brain for a good story (maybe now is the time to write about Jay & I in better detail?) – I’ll let you know!

Good luck with all the moving in thing!! I just had to do that a few weeks ago, and UGH it’s a pain. And we’re renting our apartment, which means we can’t paint it, and since we don’t have many things around, it still doesn’t feel like “us”.

I’m excited for you! I can’t wait to see what you’ll do with your house. You’ll probably finish the house before I even finish my projects, haha.
