Hot damn this has been a busy month. October is our last month in Seattle for..... a while. We are packing up and heading South for about 7 months. This will be the longest "trip" we have taken. And although we are going to our home, Seattle still remains my anchor. I don't know if it is this hard for others to move. But for me, I feel like it is opening a new chapter when I am not ready or willing to close the current one. Funny analogy with books, because similarly I will purposely hold off on finishing a book because I am not ready for it to end.
I realize its a bit dramatic. Clearly my life and friends will not end once I move, but they wont be as assessable and that is a hard pill to swallow. Like I won't be able to jump in my car and have lunch with my bestie, the one who knows something is wrong simply by a text. Or I won't be able to snuggle her sweet newborn any time I want. The friends are have here are lifers, you know. Those are hard to come by.
But I try and remain positive and excited for what California brings. New friends with great Mama's. A great school for Max to attend with great teachers. GREAT weather. My garden. A bigger house. And of course new adventures. It's just weird......
Besides the preoccupation of the move, I have been busy snapping tons of photos. I started FancyPants Photography on Facebook. Not a full on business but a starting point to house some of my work. It was pretty nerve racking. Putting up your "art". Having people critique it or remain silent. But I said "F" it. It is time! I have got some likes which makes my heart happy and I have gotten some business (not just from friends, yeah). It feels pretty damn good!
Bring it next chapter!
Bring it next chapter!
