Beans are being spilled

So you guys have probably figured it out by now but my big news is that I will be moving in the next few weeks.  I'll be starting a brand new job in an old-new city and I have been spending my time these last few weeks trying to figure out logistics of where I'll be living, all the stuff I have to get settled before I move, what to pack and starting the surprisingly painful process of furniture shopping.

Am I nervous?  Excited?  You betcha - there's a certain amount of trepidation and anxiety of looking over the precipice into something new.

You'll have to forgive me as the next few posts will be about furnishing a place, pains of packing up and the tearful goodbyes to friends that I've made over the last few years.  I'll also make sure to update you guys as to what will happen with the nonprofit endeavor that I've been working on for the past 10 months.  But really, today's post is to celebrate new things.  No matter how much they keep you up at night!

  8. No need to apologize, everyone is looking forward to those next few posts (just as we look forward to all of your posts). I'm hoping we won't be part of the tearful goodbyes when you get busy with the new job. Your posting may need to slow down, but hopefully you'll continue.

    If not, it will be ToT for us.

  10. Exciting! I'm not particularly fond of moving house in itself (obviously all the packing etc is a pain) but I do like to get into a new place, decorate, make it mine etc. Plus a new job! Congratulations! Have a stress-free (if possible) week xo

  15. What wonderful exciting adventurous nerve-wracking news!! I can't wait to stay tuned on your new journey? I wonder if it is outside of TX. Oh, how can you bear to leave Houston (tee hee)? Good luck with everything and it will make coming home that much more sweet. And...congratulations on the new job!

  30. Awww, I hate goodbyes. I hate it when someone leaves. But I always think that people leave because they have to dwell to other adventures in life. So I'm sure your friends will understand. It's exciting for you as well because it'll be a new place, new friends and new stuff. :)
