And So It Begins. . .

I once read somewhere that moving is the second most stressful life event to happen behind the death of a loved one.  No argument here.

And so tonight, full of stress and my thoughts racing, I sat at my desk reaching for a pen to write down my thoughts.  One problem:  they are all packed away.  No pen.  No paper.  So here I am typing to keep my sanity on this, the last night in my Columbus home.

While tonight is not the first time I have thought about starting a blog, it’s the first time I couldn’t find a pen (And for those of you out there that have ever known or been a “drug rep” you will find this totally believable!).  In all seriousness, though, the sentimental side of me knows that when the door to this condo shuts, an apartment door opens!  Why not start a new blog to go along with my new life?!?

For those of you that don’t know, Mark, Lake and I are moving to Dallas this weekend.  Once Mark convinced me that Texas was more than tumbleweed and cowboy boots, I decided that this would be a fantastic adventure for our little family.  Mark’s new position with Chase is going wonderfully, and I will be able to continue spending quality time with our little man.

From meeting new friends (all the while missing my old ones!!), to exploring the city with a toddler and traveling back and forth to Ohio (I won’t be able to stay away!) - I promise to keep you “in the know” on all things Bennett & Texas!  One thing is certain; I will not blog for blogging’s sake.  You, my friend will only get the funny, interesting and embarrassing moments/thoughts I have to offer.  Pinky swear.

This blog begins with me, as a wife and mom moving cross-country and ends as. . .you’ll have to stay tuned!  I can't wait to share my life's evolution through this incredible life event known as moving.
