Life

Anxiety

August 8, 2014

Anxiety is not an emotion many people like to talk about.  Well, I’m not one of those people.  I’m normally a pretty laid back person.  However, there’s so much going on in my life right now that I’m feeling rather overwhelmed and anxious.

Where to begin???  We decided a few weeks ago that maybe we should put our house up for sale since this is the time of year that most people are looking to move. We’d already found a nice smaller size home that we loved.  So, we cleaned out a few closets and put away most of the clutter.  We listed out house and went on vacation for 9 days.  The first people to look at our house within 24 hours of listing it were the ones to make an offer a few days later.  That’s pretty exciting.

The new house!

I’m starting to freak out a little bit though because we are downsizing by about 2500 square feet.  The new house seems so nice and new and practical, but we’re used to having so much storage space.  The new house offers hardly any storage at all.  The new house was the model home, so it was decorated to the nines.  Now that we purchased it, they’ve moved the furniture and accessories out of the house.  The empty house is sort of scaring me because we need all new furniture to fill it because our current furniture doesn’t really match.  Can you tell that I’m needing to vent??  Haha!

We also decided to purchase a lot in a brand new neighborhood that will begin construction around the beginning of 2015.  Now we get to go through the whole process of building a new custom home that will hopefully be our dream home.

The lot we purchased to build a new custom home

On top of everything with buying and selling homes and lots, my dad’s been in the hospital for over three weeks now.  We just take it day by day.  Unfortunately whenever he takes one step forward he takes three steps back.  It’s been a rough 5 years for him health wise.

One of my daughters is transferring colleges.  I’ve been going to orientations and such with her for the past few weeks.  My son’s been playing in golf tournaments, which is sort of stressful in its own way because you always want your kids to do well.  My other daughter moved out of the house and into an apartment with a friend. My dog is cute, but she suffers terribly from separation anxiety.  It’s gotten to the point where she’s almost a danger to herself.  Therefore we’ve started taking her to doggie day camp during the day so she doesn’t have to be alone.

Other than that, I’m doing GREAT!!  How has your summer been?

    Oh Stacie you sure do have a LOT on your plate. Just breath and take things one step at a time and it will all come together . Just think how fortunate you are to be able to do all these things Which I know you already know that 🙂 . I look forward to your journey if you share it with us ! I am sure that house is just as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. Loosing so much storage ….hmmm maybe time to have a yard sale 🙂 As for your little doggie I think the day camp will help her by not being alone. Sounds like your summer has/is quiet busy !! Just remember to breath and take it one day at a time and maybe you won’t be so stressed out . Much Love you my dear friend xo Susie

    Don’t ever hesitate to vent, miss Stacie. You have a lot of life changes happening at once and that is very stressful indeed. I applaud you for talking about it and not trying to be perfect and put on a show. None of us are and those who think they are are lying to themselves. I know I certainly am not……I am going through a major life change myself of a divorce. I am well over him and the hurt but it still doesn’t change the fact that things are now different. But it’s a good different. Not all change is bad. I am praying for your mind and body to be at ease and for your dad’s health as well!

Patience is a virtue… I patiently waited (and s Patience is a virtue…

I patiently waited (and stalked) the website and brick and mortar stores until I finally found these cute (and extremely comfortable) suede sandals in my size. 🎉

They’re the perfect pairing with my new Lysse New York outfit! I’m feeling like I should be going somewhere warm and fun now.

My jewelry is Melinda Maria and you can use code StacieH for 10% off your order.✨

My purse is Spartina 449. Isn’t it divine?!💗

Just say SHOP and I will send you all the outfit details, but you must be following me to receive the message (it’s an IG rule).‼️ 

P.S. I’m 5’1” and mostly wear petites, but this outfit is regular misses sizes. The pants are cropped length on most.💖

Well this pretty dress does that for me!☺️

Comment SHOP for the link to this carefree outfit with sizing details.💖

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖

Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been more adventurous in my younger years. Despite visiting many distant lands, I often did so reluctantly. However, my mindset has shifted over the past 10 years, and I now yearn to explore more of our world.

We’re currently in Jackson Hole, with upcoming trips planned for Summer and Fall, including another trip to Europe.

River cruising in Europe has been my favorite travel so far. We’ve taken 3 different river cruises and you can see some of those moments in my saved highlights.💖

Are there any cities or countries on your travel bucket list?✈️
