Welcome to my brand new blog, From Loons to Longhorns! It took me a bit to settle on a good title, but I'm glad I finally chose a name. If you're not a fan, maybe some of the titles that made the cutting room floor can help put this one into perspective for you: "Tall in Texas", "Life's Taller in Texas", "Don't Mess with Katie", and "Midwestern Migration"...
Now that I've got the name out of the way, let the adventure begin! Here's the background: I found out 5 weeks ago that I had the opportunity for a promotion and would be relocating to Austin, TX for my next sales rotation. Of course I was anxious, nervous, a bit (OK a lot) sweaty, and excited when I found out but was excited to finally know where the next chapter of my life would take place.
The last few weeks have been filled with tying up loose ends: returning cable boxes and modems, spending mountains of money on IKEA furniture, watching movers violently shoving all of my valued possessions into 200 moving boxes and many choked up goodbyes to friends, family and colleagues.
So why do I need a blog? Well, for one, I love to write. And cook. And design things. And try new activities. And surf the web. And shop. And try new restaurants. And use pinterest (for those of you who don't know what that is: http://www.pinterest.com/). So why not share it all with you? I've had travel blogs and personal blogs and find that they're a way for me to not only communicate with anyone who cares to listen, but also communicate with myself and share new, cool, fun, yummy things!
Is your seatbelt fastened?? I hope so...let the adventure begin!
