As I write this, the sun is just beginning to shed light on the lovely city of Austin. I have sincerely enjoyed living in this highly diversified, ever lively city. Live music, scenic trails, cold spring water, local businesses, hill country wineries, and delicious food have been some of the highlights. Throw into the mix terrific neighbors and wonderful friends who Greg and I will dearly miss, and well, the result is something that tugs a little on my heart and psyche. As I sit in the dark of my bedroom, amongst packed boxes and bare walls, it is with appreciation for the experiences I have had and the people that I have met here. Closing in on 4 years now of living along the I-35 corridor, it is now time to make the leap (of faith?) to.. dare I say, Adulthood? Sure, I've been paying bills, etc. and doing all (most?) things adult for a few years, but changing locations for jobs and family (and not school/cool location, etc.) is a new prospect.
So, rather than lament my love of trees, plentiful water, and a vibrant night life, it is with hopeful resolution that I close up the house, turn in my keys, and drive to Midland to begin anew. A new house, a new job, neighbors, friends, etc. But, alas, all is not new; I will be joining family and doing it all with Greg, my partner in all new adventures.
