The Big Move to the Big D

Wow, I've been away too long...my poor blog has suffered! But things are so intense and hectic these days that I've no time to blog about daily life! Five weeks ago I accepted a fantastic new job in Dallas. Yes, I'll be moving BACK to Tejas but at least it's not Houston Humidtown. I am very excited (and a little nervous) to begin a new chapter of my life. Things seem to have just fallen into place in so many ways and I know this is the right move for me. I'll miss my folks like crazy and will go from being 5 miles away to about 250! But we are already planning many visits. I LOVE, LOVE my new townhome and my new office. The company is a lot bigger than where I am now (going from 8 employees to about 300). It will be an amazing opportunity and new experience for me. I do have some old friends and some family in and near Dallas so I am looking forward to getting out and having some fun!

After putting in my notice at my current job, scheduling the movers, organizing my stuff, having my first ever garage sale, buying furniture, training someone in my old position, finding a place to live, AND finishing this summer school session, I have to say that I am BEAT! My day-to-day has been insane and it's going by very fast. I'm just trying to enjoy each moment and look forward to each new day. Whew! It's been a whirlwind and won't stop for another few weeks until I am finally settled in...

Needless to say, with this heat and my busy schedule, running has taken a backseat in my routine. But there are some awesome places to run in Dallas and I can't wait to explore!

More updates soon! Can't wait to get back into running, cooking and sharing new recipes, and blogging about my ever-so-exciting life :)
