All while this man flies around the world. ✈️
And tonight? We’re having our THIRD night out together without the kids in two and a half years. 😅
Yep. Third.
Somewhere between marriage, motherhood, businesses, travel schedules, and everyday life, finding time to just be husband and wife became a whole lot harder than we ever imagined.
And I don’t think we talk about that enough.
How you can love the life you’re building and still feel overwhelmed by it…How marriage can be beautiful and difficult. How you can be grateful for everything you have and still miss parts of yourself. Wondering if they will show up again..while learning the new parts of you that are still a bit foreign.
We don’t have it all figured out. Not even close.
But we’re here. We’re learning. We’re growing. And sometimes that means remembering to make room for the two people who started this whole thing. I absolutely had a full blown panic attack leaving without the kids tonight. Not a muscle I’ve been able to exercise lately when they are my every waking moment.
I share a lot of the fun stuff, the business stuff, the pretty things. But there’s a whole real life happening behind this little screen and a lot of sacrifice to make all the things happen.
And honestly, that’s part of why this community means so much to me. I know so many of y’all are in the thick of it too. Community is so important and so many of us just don’t have it.
Making friends as an adult is hard. Building a business is lonely. Motherhood can be isolating. And sometimes a conversation with someone who just gets it ..means more than they realize.
So whether you’re here for the leather, the turquoise, the journey, or just following along cause something resonated with you, thank you.
Life isn’t perfect. Marriage isn’t perfect. I’m certainly not perfect. I’m overstimulated 99% of the time.
But there’s still so much beauty in the middle of the mess.
And I’m grateful to have you here for it. 🩵
