Settle.

The last 2 months have been full of change for us and our families.  New house, new furniture, engagements, job changes...the list goes on and on.  Now it's time to try and settle in....

Colin & I are settling into the new house and slowly things are feeling like home.  The Christmas tree and decorations certainly help!  Well, and the fact that we are finally done buying furniture.  The house looks great, if I do say so myself!
I've got my routine and schedule down pat, which my type A-self loves.  Finally found an amazing yoga studio, some great spin classes, and loving our new running routes along the water.  But with all the settling down there is always some stress to go around and it's always beneficial to take a look around and say am I happy?

Stress and change can mask who you truly are and keep you from focusing on what's really important....your happiness.  I've taken some time for self-reflection over the past few weeks as I noticed I haven't been myself the past couple months.  I made excuses saying that it was the move, or financial stress or any other excuse I could come up with.  But when I really got honest with myself I was able to target the lifestyle changes I needed to make.  While I can't publicly share all of it yet (don't worry Colin & the pups are all good), my lifestyle adjustments made me think that the holidays are a great time for everyone to have some self-reflection.  It's easy to get in the routine and just get used to the usual, but use this stressful holiday season to give yourself the gift of happiness, and make some changes that are going to lead to a better you in 2015 (cliche I know, but so necessary)!

Happy Holiday season, everyone, and look forward to some blogging coming up with some new announcements!  But for now just enjoy the pics of the new house!
