I have a secret

May 21, 2012

I’m movingĀ  to Seattle!

Yes it’s true! I really am! After 4 years of living in Austin I’m heading out of here. Just in time too since the days are getting hotter and hotter as the middle of summer approaches.

So what’s the deal, you’re wondering, why are you leaving this great city? Oh lot’s of reasons I’d say but the biggest reason is that Walker got a job in Seattle and I want to go with him and he wants me to go so I’m going. All the other reasons are secondary but there are some really nice perks of leaving. Escaping this soul sucking summer heat for one.

The other reason I’m pretty pumped is because of what I said I’d do if Walker got a job in Seattle. One day I said hey if you get that job I’m totally going to Michigan for the summer. In case you didn’t know, I’m from Michigan (I lived there my whole life until I moved to Texas). And so I’m going to Michigan for the summer. It will be hard to be away from Walker for a few months but I’m really looking forward to it. It will give him time to settle into his new job and new routine and it will give me time to see my family (which I’m so super excited about) and focus on some things I’ve been dreaming of. Mainly seeing what it’s like focusing on my business full time. Of course I’m also excited about visiting with friends, swimming in the great lakes, going boating with my dad, reading, working on some sewing projects, and the list goes on. I’m a happy girl.

But of course to get to the stage there will be a lot of sad moments mixed with the stress of packing, moving, saying goodbye and my routine getting completely torn apart. I’m not the best when it comes to dealing with change so this will be a bit of a trial for me. Encouragement welcome. hehe.

Ah one more thing. So Walker is moving to Seattle at the end of the month and I’m not moving until the end of June but I will be traveling with him to Seattle for a visit. I’ve never even been there! I hope I think, although I’ve been assured many times I will.

More thoughts to come…

Our Easter

April 10, 2012

For Easter Sunday we met up with Walker’s parents for brunch at Eastside Cafe here in Austin. It was so delicious! I was pretty happy with my decision to get crepes with a side of bacon and grits. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it. Later on we went to the house of my coworker and enjoyed the pretty wonderful weather we were having while sitting out in her backyard. It’s her annual Easter party and it’s quite the event. I’ve made a lot of friends attending her holiday gatherings and I always have a good time.

(My new sandals! They were the perfect Easter shoe, I love the color.)

Happy 50th Birthday Dad!!!

March 22, 2012

My dad turns 50 today! He never wants anything and this year I really didn’t get him anything but what I thought would be nice since I can’t celebrate with him is dedicate today’s post to him! I don’t know if he’ll be celebrating much, he said he doesn’t like to, but give him a shout out in the comments if it moves you! Wow half a century hey there dad?! Woo! I hope you have a great day and we can celebrate together next time I’m home! This first one is of my dad dancing with Walker at my sister’s wedding. hahaha! Love you dad!
