YOU ARE MY COLOR: Colorado

Jun 6, 2011

Have I ever told y'all that I'm a big baby? As in a big baby that didn't ever want to move away from her hometown, from her family and friends, from everything she knew? Well, that girl has decided to finally grow a pair. {Took me only 29 years!} And I am getting the itch to MOOOVE!

{please bear with all my talking...you will be rewarded with prettiness at the end ;)}

Where did this ballsy-ness come from, you ask? Well, we've already been talking about moving in January when our lease is up, to San Marcos or New Braunfels {in between here and Austin} to be closer to Ronnie's school. His long commute and spending $100 per week on gas {for a little Honda Accord, mind you} is just not working anymore. We haven't worked out the details yet but we do know moving is beginning to sound like a MUST.

So that got me to thinking - once we move there, what if I actually enjoy being in a new area and actually like separating myself from my family for a bit? Will I finally want to move out of Texas? When I mentioned this to Ronnie I'm pretty sure I looked like I had a rainbow coming out my butt and he probably even heard angels singing. That fool has been talking non-stop about moving since I met him!

Opening that kind of conversation means it's taken over our lives over the past couple of weeks. So we talked, argued a little and daydreamed a lot and decided that when he starts looking for his first job out of school, he will apply out of state. We realize finding a job in the perfect city is not a guarantee but we are totally open to at least taking the chance! So here are the cities we've been talking about:

1} Denver or Colorado Springs
2} San Diego
3} Nashville {Ronnie's dad's family is originally from TN and he loves it. But I've never been there so right now I like the idea of Nashville but we'd need to visit together to decide that for sure!}
4} Austin {the safe option, being just over an hour away!}

I however am being pretty stubborn and sticking to the #1 choice....
