First off, I apologize for not posting lately. I am definitely in that post-wedding slump exacerbated by an impending cross-country move and Nick's month-long TDY (temporary duty assignment). Oh, how I love the Air Force. What's with the cross-country move you ask? You might have caught wind of it before now, as I mentioned it in passing a handful of times, but here's the official announcement: we're moving to Las Vegas next week.
Yep, Sin City is our new home. It was an unwelcome shock at first because this particular plane and assignment had not really been on our radar, but as we began to examine the pros, oh how they outweigh the cons! Nevada will probably be our homebase for the next three and a half years or so, and then hopefully Nick will officially enter the fighter world. I am delighted we will be stationed at another warm weather location and thrilled that the location is an actual city! So many Air Force bases are located in the middle of nowhere or in not so big towns. I am absolutely thrilled to be living in a place that has almost anything I can think of and flights to and from my home state are not through the roof.
As excited as I am for the five Targets, it is bittersweet to me to leave our wonderful home here. Although it was a rental, it was our first house together and is the style I would eventually like to own. We have built-in bookcases, white trim, etc. I'm sure we'll find another great home in Las Vegas, but I'm going to miss the place where Nick proposed, where we hosted our first party together, where we returned after our honeymoon, etc. etc. We have so many memories in these walls.
Anyhow, so what does this mean for the blog? I had hoped to have some recaps or posts up and scheduled before we begin our three-day road trip next week, but I've been working 12 hour days catching up on work and then at night I prepare our house for the move. I'm still hopeful I'll be able to get a few posts finished up and posted in my absence, but if I don't please peruse the archives and fill me in on what else you'd like to see on HaselBride. Advice? More real weddings? DIY projects from my wedding? What do you want to see?
After the recaps, I'm planning to keep HaselBride up and running as a resource for fellow winter brides as long as I remain interested in weddings {which will probably be a long time}, but I'm thinking about starting up a lifestyle {design, fashion, home, food} blog to share my adventures outside of the wedding. I mentioned something to one of my best friends/bridesmaid about blogging together, but we haven't yet decided what we want to do. What would you like to see as the next installment of Hasel?
As usual, follow along with my adventures in the sidebar or directly on Twitter.
