The goingās on in my life
A lot has happened since I last posted, which seems to be a common theme with my blog haha. Since I donāt have the attention span nor the patience to go into significant detail of everything, Iāll just give you a snippet of each life event!
***Ā BABIES BABIES BABIES!
As most of you know (or all. idk) my sister Mia, and one of my bestieās from HS, Addie are both having babies... and in the next week too!!!! This is V V V exciting because we all know how much I love little babes & my anticipation for snuggling and meeting both of them is KILLING me!! Adās is having a little girl, and I canāt wait to spoil her with love & snuggles, and Addie & Dan already know who to call if they need some time to nap!! Mia however, doesnāt know the gender so that reveal canāt come soon enough. I need to know if I have a niece or nephew on the way so I can start buying everything for them. I guess Iāve waited this long so one more week shouldnāt kill me, but it might.
Nina & Timās wedding pics came in & they are BEAUTIFUL. Nina was the most beautiful bride, and boy do we make an ugly bunch ;). Hereās just a few of my faves!
Like I said... GORGEOUS! <3Ā
My cousin Joey also got married, and it was so nice seeing him so happy with his new wife Carolina, cause heās just the best! I absolutely LOVED being back in San Antonio reunited with my dadās side of the family. We donāt see them enough, and we always have too much fun when weāre all together, so it was an absolute blast! Hereās a few pics from their nuptials!
I got a job at Nordstrom here in Cincy!!!! So far I love it! Iām working in the Individualist/Via C department (& sometimes Collectors), but for those who that means nothing to them haha, I work in the Alice & Olivia/Vince/Eileen Fisher/Rag & Bone/Frame Denim/DVF/Kate Spade/Elizabeth & James, etc. etc. - so not the high-end designer, but not inexpensive department!Ā
Iāve only been working a little less than month, but Iām quickly getting the hang of things, & love my managers so I think Iām gonna be just fine :) (If you do end up stopping in and saying hi, make sure you ask for me!!)
Iām gonna start posting some styling ideas/tips & shopping dupes as well, so look out for those!
*** AUSTRALIA/SPONSORSHIP:
Obvi Cam is back in Sydney. Itās been tough doing (extreme) long distance, but weāre able to talk everyday through WhatsApp & video chatting. The 16 hour time difference doesnāt make things easy, but we have a system thatās working so I canāt complain! We celebrated our first anniversary today, and Iād just like to say that idk what I did to have him stick around, but sure glad he did!!Ā
Iām still in limbo about when/how Iām getting back to Sydney, but itās an excruciatingly long & frustrating process. My goal is to be back around early-mid June, but that all depends on Visa approval, etc. so I honestly donāt have a specific date to tell you... yet. Iām reaching out to just about everyone I can think of, so if you know of anyone/any processes I need to check, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, send them my way :) Iām documenting the process on an excel/word sheet, so Iāll def be sharing that journey with you all!Ā
I recently heard from the family I nannied for in Sydney, and it sounds like the boys are doing well, but growing up SO fast! I had sent them Christmas/birthday gift cards to their favorite toy store (Frank & Hughās birthdayās are both in beginning of Jan.) I was so happy they got them, because I forgot that it takes like 2 weeks for any mail to get to Aus.
Hereās the email she sent me:
It cracks me up that Jack just runs around saying Chewbacca because the poor boy never stood a chance of hating Star Wars. Thatās all Frank & Hugh talked about, and the only Lego sets they would buy! I asked if she could email me some pictures of them so once she does, Iāll post them so you can see how big theyāve gotten!
Iām back with Mare & Ed and we havenāt had any issues, so yay for us! Being back in Cincy isnāt as bad as I had thought it would be - got lots of family & friends here, so itās nice being in the familiarity of that again. The weather has been typical for Mid West winters... cold one day and hot the next, with snow falling shortly after. Itās been so wonderful for my allergies... JK.Ā Nordstrom has kept me busy, but Iām slowly getting a routine down so I donāt turn into a lazy blob again. (Although I havenāt done jack this entire weekend, so maybe starting tomorrow Iāll realllllly enforce this new routine). Iām excited to explore Cincy more and see all of the growth that has been happening. Iām also excited for it to be warmer so I can set up a brewery bar crawl now that thereās quite a few in the area!Ā
Overall, Iām just trying to pay as many bills as I can, and save whatever tiny little amount is left! I can tell itās going to test my patience, but itās my fault so whatevs :| Iāll try and keep each post to a particular theme so you donāt have to bounce from one topic to the next (even though Iāve gotten really good at that haha)! Enjoy this for now & stay tuned for another one next week!!
