Me? A blogger? How did that happen? Although I’m a reader of blogs, I never imagined that I would be writing one. That is, until I found myself taking this giant (ginormous, as my daughter would say) step of packing up and moving from Southern California to Texas. You see,  I’m a born and raised Southern Californian. A wife (no, not one of those Southern California housewives!), a mother, a daughter, a sister, a nana, and yes, even a great nana – albeit a young one!

Initially I thought about just keeping a journal and writing down everything about this process of moving. Starting with the visits to Texas, finding “the” house, making the decision to move, and all the ups and downs along the way. I had no intention of sharing it, thinking someday when  my kids are cleaning out” the” Texas house to sell it, they’d find it and have a front row seat inside my head and then they would say, “Oh mom, you were so brave to take that big leap”.  I know, morbid.

But then…as moving day grew closer and closer I thought, why not document this whole journey? And then family and friends started urging me to take pictures and share details of the trip and the new home. So here I am.

And that, is how I got here.
