WE’RE MOVING!

We're Moving!

You guys, today I’m sharing the BIG news that I briefly mentioned in this post a few weeks back.

My sweet husband and I will be moving to Austin at the end of this month! As you probably know, I was born and raised in Austin and it’s held a special place in my heart ever since. And while we have built a quaint and lovely home in Plano with tons of wonderful memories, we are so excited to start the year off fresh in a new city, surrounded by new faces. The overall atmosphere and vibe in Austin is so unlike any place we’ve ever traveled to and it’s without a doubt where we want to start our new (married) life together.

As you can probably imagine, our life has been a complete whirlwind lately! Here’s a quick little timeline of what’s really been going on during the past three months :

October 8: Wedding Day
October 10-21: Honeymoon in Switzerland + Italy
November 4: Received final confirmation from each of our companies regarding relocation
*We then learned that Braden’s new job in Austin begins promptly on February 1st. (#panic)
November 5: Austin home search begins
November 24: Thanksgiving
December 12: Listed our Plano home for sale
December 16: Signed contract on Austin home
December 19: Accepted an offer on Plano home
December 25: Christmas
January 20: Closing on Plano home
January 30: Closing on Austin home

…Phew!

So, like I said – it’s definitely been a crazy last couple of months with an abundance of change. BUT, it’s been in the absolute best way possible!

It’s a strange feeling closing this chapter in our lives, but at the same time, it’s also so exciting to think about what’s to come! Cheers to “change” and to 2017!

    You are so lucky, I wanted to move to Austin so bad. But my husbands company is not as successful there as it is in other states! Hopefully one day it will, it has the best of all worlds! Enjoy!
