New Beginnings (Almost A Full Year Late)

Welcome to DTLA.
Uh, hi.  My name is Britt, and I have been married for nearly a year.  Everyone says the first year goes by so fast, but hot damn, I feel like it was just yesterday.

Immediately after the wedding, Mike and I had plans to move to the Downtown area of Los Angeles.  But then we went on our terrible honeymoon.  And we got terribly sick.  And then some other bullshit went down.  And then even more bullshit decided to pile on top of that bullshit.

Cut to married us months later: still living in the same apartment with no concrete plans to move downtown.

We just couldn't get our shit together.  It happens.  Shit, I mean.

But cut to married us now: we have finally taken the plunge and are now living in beautiful, vibrant, metro-friendly DTLA and couldn't be happier. So far the best thing about living downtown?  We live in the same hood we got married in!  And did I mention our Walkscore is "100"?  And did I mention that I will be spending my summer weekends lounging by our rooftop pool?  Oh, yes.  DTLA living is in full effect for Hollenbrau Haus, and we couldn't be more excited.  Here are a few shots from inside and from the rooftop:
 It only took us an entire year to make the move.  But I'm learning this type of post-wedding behavior is the trend among many brides and grooms.

Did you hit the post-wedding slump like we did?

  1. Congrats on your big move! It looks and sounds great, especially the part about the rooftop pool!

    We only let ourselves procrastinate on even thinking about big changes for a couple months after our wedding last summer, but it took us almost 10 months to actually make our big move to a new place. Everyone deserves some slacking off time after planning a wedding!

  2. I'm loving this post (just catching up on your blog...) - we're getting hitched in October and had some pretty big plans to move this summer. Shockingly, now summer has hit and there's SO WAY we could even think about looking for somewhere to live, let alone pack, and sort, and organise etc...etc...
    SO we've postponed until next summer, and I'm even more excited!
    Your new place looks utterly awesome, the views are beautiful! *high five*
