It's very strange to think that today was the last time we'll be in Texas for a while. I've lived in a few different places, but all in D/FW. It's hard to comprehend that I'll be calling somewhere else "home." Everyone I know and so many memories and experiences I've had were in Texas. You could say that I'm leaving it all behind, but that's not really how I feel. It's not really an abandonment, it's just a change. I won't physically be in Texas, but it will continue to live in me. While our 2,600 mile relocation is a big deal in a lot of ways - a significant change in physical location, surroundings, and proximity to others - it's really not that big of a change in others - I'll still be the same person I've always been and will stay close to my family and friends even if I'm not physically close. This is a big journey ahead of us, not just the six days of driving, but living in a totally different environment. While I don't exactly know what to expect from this and how it will change us, I think this will be a significant positive influence on my life and I'm ready to discover the new things and changes along the way.
