Happy belated Wally Wednesday! The fact that I can't even get a short post up once a week is a testament to how busy I've been. Things are about to get a whole lot busier. Charles got a call Friday from Dallas Fort Worth airport (he's an air traffic controller) and got a huge job offer. So...we're moving to Dallas in April! I never thought I'd live in Texas. I don't necessarily WANT to live in Texas, but I do want to stay with Charles so I know we'll be happy wherever we go. We hope to only spend 4-5 years there, then try to get him in at Portland or Sea-Tac. It's crazy, I know. We haven't known each other that long, but I know we'll be fine.
The most overwhelming thing is getting out of Hollywood. I've been wanting to leave but didn't expect to do it this quickly. I already have some minor freelance stuff lined up, and who knows if I can find work there. Honestly, with the cost of living and Charles' salary, we will be fine in Dallas. We've already discussed me going back to school to get a degree to teach, which was my original plan when I went to college out of high school. Either way, it will be an adventure.
The blog will likely be black for a couple of months, but look forward to many posts in the future where I will be laughing at my neighbors, their big hair, and their pickup trucks. Wally is excited for the move - it means a big yard, and hopefully, a pool! Here he is from earlier in the week when we took all the dogs to the park:

Wow - big news! Congratulations and best of luck.
Great photo, and congrats on the big move! Can't wait to hear updates of life in Texas.
Wow, I'm totally surprised but also happy for you. Yeah, the cost of living is extremely low there. You'd be fine if you sold your condo here and lived there for a year!
If you're looking for suburbia, anywhere from Coppell to Las Colinas is nice and close to DFW. If you want historic and character in a home, the University area near SMU totally rocks.
I'll miss Wally Wednesdays while you're dark. You should throw up a new pic of Gracie b4 too long, too, just to tide us over.
Congrats, Tiffany!
Congrats!
Congratulations on what seems to be a great move for all involved!
I look forward to hearing your take on living in Texas. I couldn't do it myself. I would spend most of the year trying not to faint from the heat.

Good luck with the move and all~ I know you wont be blogging but keep in touch!
This is HUGE! And I'm happy for you. We get one shot at this 'ole life. I say TAKE THE PLUNGE!! Things have a way of working out Tiff when we take those leaps of faith. It's a good thing... and it gives me an excuse to come to Dallas / FW where I've never been before. Any time line?

I hope you two crazy kids start 2010 in a beautiful, happy home, with solid careers and a new baby on the way...maybe?
HAHA! Yes, there is big hair in Texas!
I've always liked Dallas...hope everything goes well!
