Heading home In the morning, but leaving a little piece of our hearts here in London. Never before have I fallen in love so quickly with a place, it’s people, or the culture as I did here. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 . Traveling with five kids is a little exhausting at times... but this is day twenty one of non-stop adventuring with our little crew and I think the smiles on their faces speak for themselves. Always, always worth it. Until next time beautiful UK! 🇬🇧 New goal for the orchard house: Make it look like a tree! 😍 Bath, Somerset. A home to Jane Austen, and it’s no wonder where her inspiration came from. So much beauty here! ❤️ We met when we were nine years old after his family moved into our little neighborhood. He’d come over often to play football with my brothers and I’d watch from the porch steps. He told his little brother he’d marry me someday... But I wasn’t convinced until about ten years later. ❤️ . He had just gotten home from a two year service mission for our church and we ran into each other doing laundry after we ended up moving into the same apartment complex. He said hello, and I called him his brothers name. 😬 (in my defense there are SEVEN boys in his family!) He asked me out, (I was seeing someone else, but broke up with him that day) He picked me up Friday night with a bouquet of flowers in hand, slow danced with me In the streets at the end of our date, and made me feel more loved and cherished than I ever had before. I went in and called my mom at one o’clock in the morning to tell her I was going to marry Seth Wright. ☺️ He proposed ten days later, promising to bring me flowers and make me laugh every day, and we were married two and a half months after that. ❤️ They say when you know you know... and there’s nothing I’ve ever been more sure of him. . We chose each other back then, but twelve years later we continue to choose each other every single day- between the chaos of running a home, a business, and five kids later.... we always come back to this. To us- Always. And so far... he’s made me laugh every single day, and has yet to miss a week of bringing me flowers. ❤️ #lovestory Random thoughts today: Still thinking about this beautiful 18th century home we stayed in in York.... I’ve always felt that perhaps I was born in the wrong century. ✨ Have you ever felt that? I love history and anything with a story to tell- architecture, artifacts, fashion, literature... I love it all, and being here it feels as though time stopped a couple hundred years ago and I’m completely mesmerized by it. The old homes and cobblestone streets, the church bells every hour, and the architecture is all so inspiring and filling me to the brim with ideas and inspiration for the orchard house. Can’t wait to get started and build our own little English countryside in the good old US of A. 😆❤️☺️ now I just need a big frilly dress, a hoop skirt, and a propa english accent and I’d be good to go! ☺️
