Announcement time: After months and months of pondering and praying and planning, we've decided to move to Austin, Texas! It just seems like the time in our lives for something completely different. As people keep saying to us, it's like the start of a new era. We visited Austin twice last year, and while we still have a lot of exploring to do, it began winning us over with its delicious food, beautiful nature, quirky charm, music scene and laid-back vibe.
Jonah and I will always love New York City, and I'm certain we'll miss things about it and our friends that live here, but we've started to crave more traditional things like a house and a yard and a dog and kids -- or even just a second bedroom -- and while those things aren't impossible in New York, they're certainly more complicated. So we stepped out and made a decision and things just started falling into place. God has blessed us every step of the way, and we're excited for the new adventure. We're leaving New York in less than a month. Austin, here we come! Hit it, Lyle!
