I’m going to start this post by expressing my extreme gratitude for Ryan.
It’s time for an annual holiday gift guide!
After more than four years in our Flagstaff apartment, we are finally moving out!
Ryan and I recently bought our first home here in Flagstaff, and we’re in the process of fixing it up and moving in. We’re reaching the end of the two-month overlap where we’ve been living in this apartment while fixing up the new house. Regardless of where things are at with our new house, we have to be out of this place by the end of the month. The moving boxes are piling up, this apartment is in disarray and — luckily — I took photos a few years ago to share.
We’ve renewed our lease countless times over the past four years. I took all these photos two years ago, when Ryan and I had briefly planned on moving south of Flagstaff to Happy Jack, the tiny tiny town he used to work in.
But, as detailed above… Ryan decided to cancel those moving plans last-minute and we re-signed our lease, and stuck it out here another two years until we bought our house last month.
This post has been living in my drafts folder for about two years now, and I’m excited to finally share.
Am I too old to be a fairy princess on my wedding day? Probably. Am I still gonna be a fairy princess on my wedding day? Absolutely.

When I wasn’t working on house stuff or teaching yoga this month, I devoured a few books.
Sorry, starting with a quick Pinterest rant here.
Well, we’re three weeks into home ownership.
And so far all we’ve done is break a bunch of stuff and find a bunch of dicks drawn in our walls.
I finally got to make my much-anticipated return to the annual When We Were Young music festival in Vegas after a two-year hiatus.
Well, we’re less than two weeks into home ownership and our house is already chaos. We’ve been ripping walls out, adding walls in, scraping down popcorn ceilings, rewiring, tossing appliances and cabinets to the curb and undoing several of the “aesthetic” choices our home’s previous owners made.
I wanted to share a few of our house’s “before” photos (the few I was able to take before Ryan just went straight for the walls with a hammer) so you can see what we’re working with.
