2 years! It's been two years since I last wrote on here. Not a lot has changed. We still live in Nashville; although, we moved out of the apartment that was our first home together and moved into another apartment further into downtown. Our new place is in an old building with lots of character and walking distance to all the little coffee shops and restaurants that we enjoy. It's perfect for us here. I still have those moments of looking towards "what's next", but things have improved quite a bit from the last time I wrote.
I think moving into a new place was a big help. Nikki and I were even able to build a little studio area in our apartment, with the help of our friends. She's been working on a lot of new music, which is always exciting for me because I get to sit in the living room and listen! It's the best.
We've gone to Australia twice (!) in the last 2 years. We were able to go over for Christmas and New Years in 2014, and we recently went for short trip about a month go. It was an absolute blast. We spent about half of our time with friends in Sydney, before heading up to Brisbane to visit family. It was far too short of a trip, but oh-so-worth it. The picture above is from the afternoon we spent at Bondi Beach before heading back to the States.
There have been several trips to Michigan for the holidays, and even a drive down to Florida to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! A couple of our friends came over from Australia and stayed with us for about a week, and we had a road trip down together.

My hope is to post here a little more regularly and not let another 2 years go by. I'm exploring some different ideas on what to write about, but I won't go into that at the moment. I've struggled to figure out which direction I want to lean towards when it comes to keeping a blog. Do I share everything? Do I only share fun and exciting things? How much do I want to put out there? I constantly have a push and pull going on, but I'm also trying to not wall myself up. Growing older into my 30's has brought on some strong introvert impulses and a desire to completely disconnect from all the machinery that connects us. Maybe part of that is learning to find fulfillment in where I am at in life? I don't know.
It's all just a process, a journey, a constantly moving thing.
