cannot believe how fast july flew by! our first cannot believe how fast july flew by! 

our first official month in our new house, a big birthday week for me and gid (with amazing celebratory dinner at @fairhavenoysterco)

cotton candy sunsets, beach dinners, soaking up the light in our new kitchen, while simultaneously having a breakdown with the amount to do inside the house lol

but man oh man i’m feeling grateful!

also enjoy my very candid sunset video walk 💃🏻
one month of living here and just trying to make m one month of living here and just trying to make my slow living dreams come trueeeee!!!!

on the day i turned FORTY 😳 in a new town with on the day i turned FORTY 😳 in a new town with no friends, i put on my red dress to channel my inner birthday girl sally from wee sing (scroll to the end to see if you’re too YOUNG and not 40 to know!!) 

but despite the lack of nearby loved ones, gid made me feel special all day, a ceiling full of 40 balloons, a mango birthday message, he let us order only seafood at dinner and my favorite @alisoneroman cookie instead of a dumb cake! stocked up on some new wine, a charcuterie board delivery from gigi and a new custom charm necklace from my best friend 😭 i feel so loved!

anyway i’m gonna be 39 for a bit longer so i can celebrate with my girlfriends later on! so like, don’t think of me as 40 ok?!?!

our new house! an empty house tour— she’s got our new house! an empty house tour— she’s got low ceilings, tiny doorways, no AC, but sooo much potential and we are truly obsessed with our own magical little sliver of river!! 

still can’t believe this is all real. can you imagine this view in autumn!!!!???
scenes from our second week living in connecticut, scenes from our second week living in connecticut, much more overwhelming than the first, but luckily it still fully feels like vacation in between all the terrible logistical crap. 

arlo took up fishing in our backyard river (!!!), we soaked up lots of beach time, had an amazon cotton candy sky on a night when i really needed it— and i’ve officially decided the house needs an outdoor shower 

we’re still drowning in boxes but it’s feeling more like home
the boxes are endless and the to-do list is a mile the boxes are endless and the to-do list is a mile long but i just hung a fish on the wall and feeling great about it!! 🐚
