Ya’ll I got hitched!
Here’s a few of my favorites from our wedding shoot with Starla Dawn . They turned out dreamier than I could imagine. This was also our last San Diego hurrah before we moved to North Carolina. We couldn’t think of a better way to leave our home town than by celebrating our love and capturing it at one of the most magical parts of San Diego, Balboa Park. These were taking days before we went to the courthouse with a few of our closest love ones.
Then we skipped town. So much life in one month! I’m not quite sure how we still have any sanity. Leaving San Diego was a tough decision to make. Tony, Kirk and I were raised there and left behind so much we know and love.
With Covid many of the things we found security, joy and comfort in were flipped, turned upside down. (The Fresh Prince theme song has been on repeat regularly for the past year.) WOW it’s insane to dwell on the fact we’ve been in this a year now.
With so much of our future unknown especially when it came to my career in hair, CA had insane closures, we decided to sell most of what we owned and pack the rest and hit the road. We landed on Asheville, NC. It’s a delightful little mountain town in Western North Carolina.
Tony was able to transfer with his company and I found Ananda Hair Studio .
We’ve been here nearly 5 months and are just starting to feel a little less chaotic. Moving to a new town, transitioning in our careers and Covid makes things a bit tricky at times. We’ve definitely had our ups and downs and have experienced plenty of growing pains.
It’s beginning to feel like we’re on a different side of it all, the past year has had so many scary and challenging moments. Rather than feeling helpless and lost I’m starting to settle into this new space. A slower one than I’ve ever experienced. Rather than mourning and gripping tight to what once was I’m finding more acceptance and gratitude for what once was , that may now seem lost but never forgotten. Through it all I’ve done my best to lean toward the paths of least resistance and command joyful spaces where I can. I’m grateful for the support I have and couldn’t imagine getting through this past year without.
Thanks for listening.
