On the Move

“Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” – Henry James

House full of boxes, it’s time for a new season! On this beautiful summer afternoon, the movers are packing and hauling out one box after another, and it finally feels real… We’re moving! After two happy years in Urbana, IL, we’re on the move again. This time we’re headed to Amherst, MA. My husband’s work takes us there  and we couldn’t be more excited! Although, truth be told, we’re sad to say goodbye to this lovely little town that has been such a welcoming home. During these past couple of years we’ve met some amazing people and made so many friendships that will hopefully last a lifetime! It’s funny…home is not where your parents live (although it sometimes can be), it’s not necessarily where your house is, but it’s with the people your heart feels most at home! I  hope we’ll find a wonderful new home in Massachusetts!

(I passed by this sweet little cottage almost daily and countlessly imagined what I’d do with its interiors. It has so much potential, don’t you think?)
