Since moving to Chicago three years ago, we haven’t really had the chance to visit home for more than a long weekend. Even the time between quitting our jobs and moving to Korea was only a week and a half! That’s part of the reason why we’ve been so incredibly thankful to have this summer to relax here in Detroit. We came back from Korea on June 1st, almost three months ago! The time has flown by so incredibly fast. What have we been doing?
Working, spending time with family, hanging out with our cats, being a little lazy, and working on our apartment.
Just this last weekend, I randomly decided to strip and refinish the doorway from our living room to kitchen. It took me about 9 hours of work, but turned out awesome. We’ve cleaned it from top to bottom and organized it in all of the ways we haven’t been able to within the last two years. I also touched up chips in the walls. Whew! … and that was all AFTER we put together our new couch and bookshelves from Ikea. Yeah… Team Domestic Handy-ship!!
I guess I just kind of wanted to give a nice text update to let everyone know we haven’t fallen off of the face of the earth. After everything that was going on, we really needed to take some time for ourselves… and I guess that meant putting this blog on hiatus. However, I have about a MILLION pictures I haven’t posted from Korea and Thailand. Expect random photo updates of those things, in addition to what we’re doing in Chicago.
For now… Wish me luck on the job front!
Hope all is well,
Sam and Ryan
