Clare's down for a nap, and there's nothing I would rather do right now than hide under my covers for some much needed silence. Unfortunately, there's a handyman in my living room, and people generally frown on letting strangers have full range of your house. The reason for the handyman is that the Morris' clan is selling our house and moving to Lubbock!
While we love Georgetown, we have always said that we wanted to be closer to family. With Albuquerque being a $1000 plane ride and Lubbock a 6 hour car ride, it's getting harder and harder to stay close to everyone as our family grows. A job opportunity opened up for Kevin with the City of Lubbock, and he got the job. It's a pretty big pay cut, but we're willing to pinch the pennies to make this work. This job will definitely be more stable and 8-5ish than working on the consulting side of the business like he has been.
Our house goes on the market this week, and we need all the prayers we can get. After completing a 6 PAGE TO DO LIST from our realtor, we will still need quite a bit of luck selling the house. The market is just flooded with houses for sale and no one buying.
We've dusted, cleaned, painted, mowed, boxed, washed, patched, and planted our house into tip top shape. I'm really impressed we were able to finish it all in just over a week. The stress has been (and will continue to be) over the top.
We don't know when we will officially be leaving, but Kevin's new job starts at the end of September. We don't know if we will be able to properly say goodbye to all the friends we've made here in the Austin area over the past 4 years, but we hope you know how much we love you and will miss you. Thank you for being our family away from family.
