Let's Be Insta-Friends!

This weekend, we said goodbye to our first Milwaukee apartment, and moved into our first home. While moving into our first home is so exciting, saying goodbye to this apartment was a lot harder than I thought. On Sunday, Brian and I stopped by to pick up the last of our things and make sure we didn’t leave anything behind. And even though we have a final walk through with our landlord later this month, we realized it would be the last time we’d ever be in the apartment just the two of us. We walked around and looked back in the last four years. We moved from Illinois to Milwaukee when I finally got a job in advertising, we got engaged, got married, finished school, both changed jobs, and a whole lot more in between. It’s been an amazing four years. And now, we have so much to look forward to, and so many more memories to make in our new home. So long, Bay View! You will always have a special place in our hearts. ❤️🏠 •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #passportsandcappuccinos #linkinbio #blogger #blog #ontheblog #midwestbloggers #travelblogger #travelblog #lifestyle #lifestyleblogger #lifestyleblog #bloggerlife #theblogissue #problogging #milwaukee #mkehome #midwest #wisconsin #mke #wauwatosa #home #homeowner #homesweethome #homeimprovement #moving #bittersweet #memories A little Friday self love comin’ at ya! 🥰 Thank you to the beautiful Christina, the face behind @my.petitejoys, for tagging me to post three things I love about myself from the INSIDE!
