So much time has passed since I last wrote on this blog. Life got busy I have no excuse, really. When we first started building the house, and then when we moved in, I was super motivated to write, chronicling our house transformations and our cooking adventures in our beloved kitchen. And then the blog posts started piling up in drafts and I didn't take the time to go through each recipe, each night of cooking and clean it up before posting. And then I Instagram became my outlet for everything cooking.
After reading through my first blog I started to relive those
feelings of excitement about writing. The topics were drastically different in
those days, but true to me nonetheless. What really struck me was the amount of
quotes that I used in that blog, and I quickly remembered how important quotes
used to be to me "growing up." Remember AIM? I used to think long and
hard about "away messages." I must have had about 200 away message
options - quotes - to choose from. I always seemed to find one that summed up my
feelings perfectly.
"Ones destination is never a place,
But a new way of seeing things"
- Henry Miller
I used this quote in a post about our two week trip to
Panama a few years ago. I love traveling, anywhere, near or far. We haven't
don't much traveling in a few years - adulthood means needing to take vacation
days, going to a million weddings, and taking care of cats. But hopefully in the near future that's in
the cards for us.
Until then, I'm jazzed about restarting this blog. I have no clue
what I'll focus on, but we've done so much to our house since the last time I
updated, so maybe I'll start there...
