RaeAnna + A Nerdy Lifestyle
My quarantine hasn't been filled with finding a new passion, getting in shape, writing the next great American novel, or baking sourdough bread. I haven't been able to be apart of #isolationcreation the way I wish I could've been. My version was raising the puppies.
I instantly fell in love with Ali Wong when she walked onto the screen of my TV with her pregnant belly, dirty mouth, and satire in Baby Cobra. I like her even more in her familiar yet fresh collection of letters to her daughters.
Amazing Iowa Women by Katy Salwell Ph.D. is a beautifully illustrated book about the remarkable women who have called Iowa home. Unfortunately I'm not in it, but maybe the second edition won't overlook me.
Moving did not go how I envisioned it six months ago, but I've spent the last month enjoying my new babies (and not tearing my hair out because of them) and catching up on sleep instead of unpacking. It's been a crazy four months considering the family increased by five.
I asked Kelsey what to write today. She told me to write "11 reasons I have the best friend ever." So here we are.
WE BOUGHT A HOUSE FOR OUR DOGS!!! I'm not kidding. We did buy a house, and a big part of why and which one was based on the dogs. It was an absolute disaster of an experience. If I never ever, ever, every buy a house again ever, that would be too soon. Nothing went as planned. I was homeless and stranded in Iowa for awhile. I LOVED our realtor, and she was literally the only good thing in this experience. I'm so glad the last seven months are over, and that we're in the house instead of living under an underpass.
