...Movin' Along...
So.. I have never done a blog before, but since two of my favorite people suggested I start one about my upcoming journey.. here we go! : ) This will hopefully be a good way to stay connected and feel closer to friends and family through all the miles!
After completing my undergrad at the University of Oklahoma in Norman and then completing my Masters degree for Human Resource Management at the University of Oklahoma in Tulsa, I moved to Dallas, TX to work for Ernst & Young in the Human Resources department doing Campus Recruiting. I have been living in Uptown Dallas for about 3 years now, working at EY in Victory Park and I am loving every minute of it! However, how exciting would life be without big life decisions and taking a chance on things?!
I have made two very big decisions...
Decision #1: To move to Bentonville, AR!!
My sweet boyfriend, Landon, whom I have known since 1996 (14 years, wow..) moved to Bentonville in January of 2010 to open Dink's BBQ (YUM!) and after making the 11 hour round trip drive about every other weekend and wishing I could see him every day of the week and not being able to because of the distance, I have decided it is time to take a leap of faith and make the move!! I brought the idea of transferring to the Rogers office up to my boss in mid-February, had another meeting at the end of February, another meeting in mid-March and then again today when I got the final "OK" to transfer. YAY!! There are many challenges with this transfer and things to grow accustomed to, but needless to say, I am a happy girl and so thankful for this opportunity and everyone's support!
Decision #2: To buy a house!!
Who can pass up an $8,000 tax credit for being a first time home buyer?! Not me!! Not to mention after looking at houses in the past in Dallas, it seems crazy not to buy a house. A 4 bedroom house in Arkansas costs basically the same as a studio loft in Dallas (plus Indie can have a big fenced-in back yard now). I will keep you all updated on the move and will post pictures of the "soon-to-be" house when that is finalized!
