It's been too long!

Welp, it's been since January since I have posted on my lovely little blog here. That's embarrasing. Oh how many times little thoughts have ran through my head that I have thought, I need to post about that. And then I didn't, so there's that. Since January...let's see... I've started a buisness with my childhood bestie back in Nashville. It's called Everly Deer, and we are stylists for events, photo shoots -you name it, we will style it! You should go check that blog out (everlydeer.com) because that is where my heart and soul have been for the most part of this year. Having a business with your best friend is fun and exciting, and starting any new business is a lot of work! Lucky us that we love what we do, so work doesn't exactly feel like "work" when we are together. What else?? Well, Adam and I decided back before summer that it was time we begin the house hunt! This blog has shared our journey around San Diego, Chicago, and then our move back to Nashville. When we signed up to be first time home buyers, we were extremely excited, but we didn't really know what we were getting ourselves into. Let's just say that the house hunt in Nashville this summer was a bit competitive. We probably looked at over 40 homes over a few weeks, but none of them seemed to feel like the right house for us. One day Adam and I were driving around, not even viewing homes, and stumbled upon a new construction beauty on a street that we had never even been on before. Something in both of us got really excited, even though we could barely tell what the house was going to look like because it had just been framed! We jumped out and walked through, and it felt different from all the rest. That's when you know you need to jump on it! After going back to see it again, our nervous stomachs waited to hear if the house was available because at that time most houses with a sign in the yard were already sold by the time the sign went up in the yard. Long story short, we got our dream starter home in an amazing neighborhood in Nashville, and we couldn't be more excited! I, of course, was obsessed with the fact that we got to pick every detail of our home out since we found it so early on in its home building stage - that was the most fun thing ever! Maybe I'll get around to posting some photos of it at some point over the next few weeks...unpacking boxes must come first - I'm a bit OCD about that. I guess that's something that happens when you move every single year of your life. Guess what I'm not doing next year....moving! :) I love my home and the handsome studly man that I get to share it with. While a hobby and love of mine is decorating things, a home isn't about its appearance or things inside it. It's about who you share it with, the memories made in it, and the fun times to be had. Get ready friends, there's sure to be lots of food and good times coming soon in the new Suttle casa! Thank you God for providing us our first home! Start walking people, and he will truly guide your steps. :)
