Breaking news! We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you an exciting but bittersweet announcement: our little family will be making the move across the country to the DC metropolitan area next month.

We're Moving!

Dan just accepted an offer for an awesome job out there, so we’ll be making the big move back East in September. As biased as I am towards the East Coast and how much I’ve always said that I’d like to move back someday, I have to admit that over the past five years, I’ve definitely fallen in love with the beautiful places, delicious food, and especially our wonderful friends here in the Bay Area. There’s a part of me that is genuinely sad about leaving the area and I know that I will miss the life that we’ve created out here. But we trust that this new chapter in our lives will be just as grand, and while the cross-country move and all the changes are daunting, we think that it’s a step in the right direction in our continuing journey as a family. We look forward to being closer to my family in Northern Virginia (in fact, we’ll be living with them for a while as we get settled into the area and save up for a more permanent home), catching up with friends, and enjoying (and perhaps at times, resenting) all four seasons that are so palpably felt in the region.

To our Bay Area friends and family, you have been nothing but kind, generous, and amazing to us, and leaving you behind will be without question the toughest part of this move. We will of course be back to visit from time to time, but we hope that we can see as many of you as possible in the coming weeks so that we can properly say our goodbyes and heartfelt thank you’s to you before we leave. We’ll miss each and every one of you so much!
