Moving on

August and After is moving! No, not the website-- but us, Evan and Cori. We're moving from warm and beautiful Arizona to LUSH and green {imagine!} North Carolina. In less than two weeks we'll be on the road headed east, and it's going to be bitter sweet to drive away from this place.

It's been such a good thing to be here. It was where we really began to live life together, where Evan became a part of my family, where we got engaged, where we were married, and where we made our first home. It hasn't always been easy and perfect but it's been good and honest and real. We're leaving family, which is hard. We're leaving the winter desert we've started to love, which is hard. We're leaving our cozy brick desert abode on our little piece of ranch land, which is surprisingly very hard. And we're having to pack, which is awful! This has been a tough year in a lot of different ways for both of us, so moving now is something we're really looking forward to. Not to run from things but to start a new adventure together as a young and in love married couple. Moving on at the beginning of the new year is refreshing. We look forward to it, to everything.

As things get crazier for us my posting may begin to slow down, but I promise it'll pick it up again once we're settling into our new home. For now there's packing, friends in town, being with family, a weekend trip to San Diego, riding in the annual Tour de Tucson, last days of our jobs, and then the loading up and heading out. Wish us luck as we try to get it all done!
