Take me away to the beach!! In spite of our best efforts, it has been challenging to post with any kind of consistency as of late! I am honestly completely and utterly overwhelmed with life, and I believe the condition will likely persist through the first of the year 😥🤪⁣

Not only are we working with insurance and contractors to fix the house from the flood, we are trying to list it for sale ASAP as we will be moving to Huntsville Alabama as of December 10th. To this end there are lots of things to do and take care of with purchasing our new home, and of course packing and coordinating the move. On top that I am still trying to create content and run our website! I am trying to keep chill...but I am a worrier/overplanner/stresser...lol, and this is a lot!⁣

I am going to try my best to not go completely mute here...but I can't make any promises! Do you have any packing, moving, or all around stress management tips? I need all the help I can get!!

Last weekend we headed down to the Keys with our friend Ashley Elizabeth Hubbard from @wild.hearted.blog to the Keys to check out REEF-Fest (hosted by @reef_org ). As part of REEF-Fest we participated in their scuba dive as part of the festivities.
🐠
🦈
It was a beautiful sunny day when we arrived at @keydives but we were warned that the seas were a bit choppy, so if anyone tended to get seasick, they might want to sit out. Though I (Jenn) do get seasick, the FOMO was strong, so I popped an extra Dramamine and headed for the boat. The seas were rough enough that diving was a bit of a puke fest (I was the 1st, but not the only 😉 ), but Key Dives did a fantastic job keeping everybody safe. It was the best in water dive support we have ever had in Florida in legit rough conditions. We dove the famous wreck The Eagle 1st, then Alligator Reef, which is prolific with sea life.
🐠
🦈
We saw loads of tropical fish, 4 large green eels, 3 nurse sharks (2 were snuggling💛💛), baby goliath grouper, and lobster! Goes to show you can have an awesome day, even if you lose your breakfast 😉🤣

Tell us about the best day that you have ever had...despite getting sick 🥵

So when it rains it pours...or floods! It has been a rough 2 weeks for us, not only are we dealing with the stress and uncertainty of relocating and Ed changing jobs, we had a bit of a calamity happen last Monday...⁣
😱⁣
😱⁣
Our hot water pipe broke in the master bathroom pumping hot water through the house for about 45 minutes, about a week or so before we were planning to list the house 🤬😭 The damage was extensive, and we had to be out of the house for over a week. We got back in yesterday, but all the flooring is torn out, holes in the baseboards for drying, the master bedroom/bathroom is unlivable, and we still have quite a bit of fans in here because it is still not totally dry.⁣
😱⁣
😱⁣
We thought this photo was befitting as it is important no matter how challenging life gets to look up, because you might find something beautiful💛💛 This was definitely the case in Egypt! Every pillar was ornately decorated as were many of the ceilings. It boggled my mind the craftsmanship and artistry, especially for that day and age! There is so much history in Egypt it can be overwhelming! I was fortunate enough to learn a ton from the amazing guides on my Egypt tour with @innovative_travel, but I wished I had had a study up before I went. As a result we decided to summarize over 4,000 years of history into 1 concise and somewhat witty blog post (link in bio @coleman_concierge )⁣

What is your go-to when the shizzle is hitting the fan?

You may have noticed it's been a minute since we last posted. TBH, we were in some sort of existential crisis as of late. After going to Montana, the dam broke. Ed had enough time off to start processing his feelings, and it was all escapism fantasies from work.⁣
⛓⁣
⛓⁣
Of course, we're all about turning fantasies into reality here, so we asked the hard questions such as:⁣
❓what are we working towards❓⁣
❓how do we know when we have made it❓⁣
⛓⁣
⛓⁣
We're not ready to quit and ride off into the sunset yet, but we can certainly pick another path, and that makes all the difference. It's also the theme of this week's post - Navigating Life's Known Unknowns (link in bio @coleman_concierge).⁣
⛓ ⁣
⛓⁣
It's a very real, very personal post about how we got to where we are today and where we are heading. We hope you get a chance to check it out.⁣

When was the last time you made a major "course correction" in your life?
