Thoughts of Cardigan

Can we just take a moment to appreciate this girl?

You are sweet.

You are kind.

You are sassy.

You are helpful.

Anxiety is a bitch. Stress is a bitch.

From the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep, I am anxious and stressed out.

I am full of rage. A rage that I’ve never been able to overcome.

I have started taking my rage out on those whom I love.

That isn’t me. This anxiety, stress, and rage are not me.

Hey y’all I’m Carrigan. I’m 25 from a smalltown in Indiana. I have two children. One boy who was born in October of 2016 and little girl who was born in May of 2020. My husband and I married in September of 2016. I work more than full time (50+ hours a week) in public safety and my husband is a full time mechanic.

When I was about 12 my family moved away from my small town(around 8,000 people) to a larger city (roughly 80,000 people) about 30 miles northwest of there where I met my husband and countless other friends. We have decided that city life is completely not for us and want to move back to my smalltown so that our kids can grow up to experience the community I once did as a child.

That being said, we bought my absolute dream house. Once it’s finished (yes, it’s in rough shape right now) it is going to be the entire families dream house. The house is a 120 year old historical style home and has been through a lot in its time. We will be doing a full home renovation on it and I am so excited. As we make progress, I will start sharing with you guys what we have done!

Here is a picture of my favorite area of the house...

I’m so excited to decorate this staircase at Christmas time!
