Happy Monday, guys! I'm so excited to be writing this from our new home. We moved in several days ago and It feels so nice to be somewhere that we can call 'ours' for the time being. It's just what we were looking for - furnished and wired - so all we had to do was unpack our bags and buy groceries. Yes, it was the easiest move-in ever and I definitely made sure to enjoy it.

Enjoying it was easy as we've been in and out of our storage unit, making room for what's coming in from KL, and taking what we need from it right now. I took advantage of the shuffle to grab a few small items like a vintage ceramic dish and pair of votive candle holders to place around the apartment along with a few stones I brought with me. The latest addition (the big green one) from Sedona is perfect, as is the heart-shaped red rock we picked up during one of our hikes. They're so pretty and I like the idea of them holding positive energies...Joe makes fun of me but I don't care ;)

Since it's Fall, I also had to bring a few pumpkins into the mix. Pumpkins were hard to come by in London and KL (the rare ones were crazy expensive) so I reasoned than I had to have them when I saw them on sale for less that $1. I was right. They're already doing their part in making our living room look a little less sterile.

When it comes to making any place a home, little touches go a very long way. And right now, I am thankful for every.little.thing.
