I can’t even write one word without welling up… As you can tell by the absence of posts over the past few months, my world has been consumed with The Big Move to Texas. This whole journey started just after Christmas as a remote possibility and here we are on the cusp of moving. My son cried on our last night in the house and said, last year the end of school was way slower, this year went way too fast. And he’s right. The 6-month transition is ending SO fast. So many conclusions, so many goodbyes. It’s emotionally exhausting, but I knew this would happen because when you love BIG, your heart gets big and sore with goodbyes. It’s worth it, though. I have never felt so loved by so many and loved so much in return.
I have a pretty big village. Here is just a little glimpse into the past few weeks…
Just imagine, that’s just a snapshot of all the goodbyes!!! Don’t get me wrong – I am excited about the future, excited about all the newness ahead (not to mention the thrifting, the pool, the margaritas!)!! I’m not afraid of change or worried about making friends or finding a community in Texas. I know with 100% certainty that is where God is calling us and all that is left to do is say au revoir Alberta and howdy Houston!
Reading this about the time you’re boarding your plane. Requires tissue. Looking forward to see what comes next. Hugs.

We moved last year to SFO and we went through same emotions. While reading your post I could was in tears. We had amazing 1 year in SFO and I am sure you guys will rock it. Good luck on your trip. Just remember once Canadian always a Canadian..:)
Thank you ma’am!! I would love to hear your recommendations! I have been out exploring but by no means have found everything!! I’m using the Houston’s Best Resale Shops calendar to go to each “store of the month” throughout 2018. In March, it will be the Guild! Hopefully we could meet in person one day!

Amen to that! We are thinking of putting up a Canadian flag but not sure if that will make us a target b/c people will know we don’t have a gun! LOL
I’m a little late but welcome to Texas! I have some great recommendations for thrift stores in Houston if you haven’t already been out exploring!
