Week 52 // hard to say it's over



Week 52 // hard to say it's over
Originally uploaded by +kdis


This applies to a few things going on right now.

First of all, this self-portrait marks the completion of my second 52 Weeks project series! I can't believe I've already reached Week 52. It kind of caught me by surprise as I've just been going through the motions of surviving whatever life has been throwing at me while taking self-portraits simultaneously. As I've said before, this hasn't been the most inspired set of portraits that I've done, but I guess completing it is what counts. I haven't given up on the project even though there were many times when I just wanted to throw in the towel. Hopefully if I choose to commence another series it will be more creative + thought out.

This week also marks the last week that me + J will be living in our city apartment in the sky. Kind of sad about it as it's been our trusty home for the last 4 years with the best view on this earth. :) Our apartment is also in the middle of a great location just up the street from the shops + restaurants of M Street / Georgetown. The parking wasn't the best as we would park as far as 4 blocks away on a consistent basis, but we would always feel safe.

Now, we will soon begin a whole new chapter in our lives with owning our first home. I am excited to take on the many challenges of being a first-time homeowner. It hasn't been easy thus far + we aren't even living there yet. ;) Life just continues to get more + more interesting as each day goes by.

I'd made a cup of coffee this morning + couldn't find the sugar. Thought J had packed it up for the move, but it was just misplaced. ;)

Got most of the big things out of the apartment into the big house.

We still have some stuff left to pack + move—like my computer since I still need to work on my freelance projects—but today was the only day we had the big rental truck. Mazzy will have to bravely take on the rest of the migration. :)

Another year has passed. The year in retrospect has been really odd. Some unfortunate sad events, some uneasy + uncomfortable to get through, but very happy to say that most of them were joyful. And thank good God for that. I have many things + people to be ultimately thankful for.

Here's to many more blessed years. :)
