So Grateful...

Well I did it! No... WE did it. There's absolutely no way my move would've been possible without all the help of my friends and family. Who to thank:
  • Mom & Dad - for even giving me the option to move back home
  • Mom - for spending 4 days with me at my apartment simply packing it up 
  • Dad - who has been doing so many odd jobs in my room to make it more comfortable for me
  • My sister - for driving 2 hours with her kids to come pick up things I wanted to get rid of so I could add them to her yard sale
  • My Nashville friends - for sending me off in style with a special night together including drinks and a cake! 
  • My brother & sister in law - for letting me store ALL my things in their house for FREE
  • My brother and his extended family - for helping me unload my entire U-haul truck in the middle of a birthday celebration. 
  • My 5 year old nephew - who didn't play with the rest of the kids but wanted to help carry boxes for me instead 😭
  • My best friend - For driving 2.5 hours to come help me move, making numerous trips up and down all my stairs loading my stuff in her car, and for following me in the U-haul helping me cross lanes every time I put my blinker on, and for holding me while I cried as I left my apartment for the last time

I am SO beyond blessed to have all the people and so many more in my life. Not to mention the incredible outpour of love and support on social media from all my connections after I posted about my move. So many words of encouragement and support by following my @dellendesigns page. It has been a whirlwind, but an incredibly positive one.

Even my tears in my apartment as I said goodbye were of gratitude. That place was so healing and so pivotal for me. I discovered and embraced a whole new side of me. I felt my creativity blossom and flourish there. I felt a spike in my professional confidence as I was promoted from one creative role to another. I felt independent and free. I've learned A LOT about myself there and I know those lessons won't dissipate based on my location. I will carry them with wherever I go, and for that I am so so very grateful.
