Another Big Move

Every few years we move for my husbands job. Most would find it stressful but I LOVE NEW ADVENTURES.

It started small with moving 4 hours away from Dallas to Austin, Tx to 5 hours away living in Oklahoma City then the moves got bigger. From Oklahoma to Arizona then back home to Texas!

Next on our journey... North Carolina!

Last week, we finally found our home we will be moving into to start our new journey. Let me tell you, trying to find a home to live in while you live states away is not an easy task.

The flights, hotels, all day in the car... with a baby. GIRL, momma is tired.

Thank goodness, we have a place to land now though. A feeling of excitement and wonder can finally start creeping in. A new space, life waiting for us.

And yet… we haven’t sold our house in Texas. Yup. The stress.

So here we are...committed to the next chapter because of my husband’s work, while still standing in the home that carried us through one of our favorite chapters yet.

Leaving the home we said goodbye to our first fur baby, Molly, to bringing home our first baby girl, Isabella.

Gearing up to say hello to a new start, new energy and new adventures.

Not fully arrived. Not fully released. Just living in the space between trust, logistics, and timing while time feels like it is running out.

It’s a strange and honestly, an annoying place to be.

This move is about saying yes to growth, career-wise, personally, and as a family, even when the path forward doesn’t feel perfectly laid out yet. Gotta love The Universe.

The other night, I walked through our home knowing we’re about to pack everything.

I noticed the small things, the way the light hits the walls in the morning, the vibe of my first baby girls bedroom, the feeling of moving through spaces that have held so much of our everyday life. It wasn’t dramatic. Just the awareness that soon, all of this will be wrapped in boxes and goodbyes and memory.

It stopped me for a moment. This is the first place I felt was mine in my LIFE and now we have to say goodbye, again.

This home has held a season that mattered. It’s where we created life, found our footing, and grew into a version of ourselves that needed stability. Letting go of it isn’t just about selling a house...it’s about honoring the season it supported and trusting that it has done what it came here to do.

One of the biggest tools I’m leaning on right now is allowing two truths to exist at the same time.

I can feel grateful for the opportunity ahead and still feel the weight of leaving something familiar.

Ugh, don't get me started on how much I am going to miss my nieces and nephews! My hearttttttt.

I can support this next step for our family and still need time to emotionally catch up. I can move forward without every loose end being tied.

Another tool has been trusting the timing without forcing certainty.

There are parts of this transition we simply can’t control.

We don’t know how everything will unfold. And yet, the decision to move forward has already been made—with intention, responsibility, and faith.

So I keep checking in. With my body. With my intuition. With what feels steady today, instead of what feels perfectly resolved.

This season is teaching me that growth doesn’t always feel bold or exciting. Sometimes it feels quiet. Stretching and as always, uncomfortable.

There’s also been a lesson in openness.

Being open to new rhythms. New routines. New versions of ourselves that couldn’t emerge without a change in environment. Being open to what this move will ask of us and what it will give back in return.

And maybe the most important tool right now has been self-compassion.

Some days this feels aligned and expansive. Other days it feels heavy and overwhelming. Both are okay.

This move is about choosing growth in every direction—professionally, personally, and collectively as a family.

So for now, I’m packing slowly. Saying quiet goodbyes. Holding gratitude and uncertainty in the same breath. Trusting that the rest will meet us when it’s meant to.

A reflection to sit with

Where in your life are you being asked to grow—even if it means releasing something familiar? And what might open up if you trusted that choosing expansion doesn’t require everything to feel settled first?

All my love,
