Day 3 Check-In: A Photo Chosen & Little Moments That Matter

I officially made my choice today for the Zephyrhills photo contest — and honestly, that part felt really good. Not rushed. Not forced. Just one of those okay, this is the one moments.

We spent a little more time out exploring today too, just wandering and looking at things a little slower. That’s the part I love most anyway. The in-between moments. The stuff you don’t plan for. It was fun, simple, and exactly what I needed.

We’re also finally getting settled into the new house… slowly, but surely. Boxes are still hanging around, and nothing feels “finished” yet, but it’s starting to feel like ours. And that counts for something.

Then — the sweetest surprise — our landlady stopped by today and brought us flowers. 🥹 They’re absolutely beautiful, and she is just as kind as they come. It was such a small gesture, but it meant so much. After the chaos of the last couple weeks, that moment felt like a deep breath.

So here we are.

Photo chosen.

Exploring done.

Home settling in.

Kindness felt.

And most importantly…

Day 3 — check. ✔️

One day at a time really is enough.
