However, there have been lots of creative happenings as well, including a bridal shower for my life-long best friend. I made a whole slew of branch-and-tissue paper leaves, envisioning a "mini forest" along the tables (and in true form, left the main box of them at home...agh), but we made do with the few that safely arrived. I forgot to take a single photo that day, but I have a few from the planning stages and will share a little recap of the details soon!

That's such a bummer that you left them at home! While change is not always an easy thing it's such a wonderful time for growth. On a total side note, I have really enjoyed seeing your blog change over time. The colors and overall design seem very you (from what I gather from Pinterest and what not). What program did you create your logo in? Has customizing your blog all been self taught? xo C
Cute idea for the tables! I bet everything turned out beautifully! Sending good energy your way for strength during your transitions... Life can be quite challenging sometimes.
Claudia, thank you. Your outlook & attitude always inspire me!
Mary, thanks for your kind words!
So, this is strange that I think I "know" each of these commenters: Alli, from this space that I found a few years ago, which brought me to Mary (if this is Ms T&FS), now a dear, dear friend, who introduced me to Claudia! Thanks for such inspiration--and I love following glimpses into your beautiful perspective on the world in instagram! Best of luck in the midst of it all, and peace, too.
aw, i'm glad you have a great attitude and outlook in the midst of your pause..
Leslie, I love the connection you made! I so admire both Claudia & Mary, but oddly enough the commenter above is a different Mary...Ms T&FS is a huge support though & emailed me privately about this post. So glad to hear from you, it made my day.
PS. Hope you find this reply -- I had no contact info attached to your comment, but email me if you have a blog/instagram! :)
Missed you lady!! I can't wait to see everything you've been up to. I'm sorry it's been a little rough as well, but you sound like you're doing things right and taking a little bit of time for yourself. Everything will work out better in the end, it always does!!
I feel like this year is really just flying by - really need some time to just stop and smell the roses. Sorry to hear about the inevitable 'time away' :( I'm thinking about you
a breather does wonder for ones soul, doesn't it. I'm so sorry to hear about the tough changes coming your way. I can't imagine how hard something like that might be. Sending lots of love your way! xoxo
I love the mini forest, and also how you created these for your friend. That is so special and wonderful.
I cannot imagine how difficult military life must be with so much time apart. You must truly hold each other close in your hearts to go through this day to day.
Enjoy the spring and all the good things that are coming.
Much love,
Diana
Spring has been very transitional for me as well. Though sometimes it seems spring is meant to be that way? Time apart is never fun, though.
love it!

Such a pretty little forest! I hope you can find peace and strength while apart.
I love the idea! This afternoon I will make it :)
