Long time, no updates! I did not forget about you. I've had some amazing life changes since I last blogged. I hope you are ready for some photos--most of which are in the SPOILER
After 3 wonderful years in LA, my fiance and I moved halfway across the country, back to my home state of Wisconsin. Here's the general route we took:


We hired movers to deal with the big stuff. Our best friend Keith flew out just to drive across the country with us. It was me, 2 boys, 2 cars, and 2 dogs on a roadtrip.




We left LA in the afternoon. Ate at Vivian's one last time...

First stop, Las Vegas! The drive itself is pretty cool, lots of pictures--mostly taken by Keith.
Anyways, I booked us a rad, dirt cheap room at the Golden Nugget. (Which I'd highly recommend by the way. The strip is cool, but Old Vegas is really fun too. And the Nugget is newly renovated and swanky.)
We ate at the buffet, got stared at by old people, gambled a few dollars, explored Fremont street, and drank a little.
We had our dogs with us and that was a little awkward because there was no where to take them outside. The people at the hotel were really nice and didn't give us any grief, which was good because I was really worried it would be an issue.

After Vegas party time, it was all business. Driving through the mountains is pretty serious business. You have run-away trucks, cliffs, steep grads, falling rocks, sharp curves, crazy drivers...We survived.
The scenery was epic, breath taking.
From Nevada to Arizona to Utah to Colorado, the rocks and soil range in every color from grey to yellow to gold to corral to deep red to violet-grey to chocolate brown.

I'm finally sort of settled at my amazing new townhouse. It's huge--3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 car garage, deck and a yard--and cheaper than our 1 bedroom in LA (hahahahah). There's woods across the street with a little trail that I can walk the dogs on. It's paradise basically. Since moving back, I've been super busy--getting moved in, hanging out with friends and family, getting my home office set up, wedding planning as usual (aka procrastinaing wedding planning). A few photos:

I'll update again soon. xoxo
