Home Sweet Nashville

Writing this post is so surreal that I'm not even sure where to begin. I've opened this template several times over the past few weeks and have always been at a complete loss for words. Even the title of this entry is beyond anything I could have imagined.

Home Sweet Nashville.

For over a year, Aaron (Layton) had been living in Orlando, while I waited in Indiana for things to fall into place. Every time we were close to saving for a deposit on a rental home in Florida, something would happen. A vehicle would have trouble. A computer would crash and need to be replaced. A vacation needed to be taken (Yes, needed. If you have ever been to the island, you know how addicting it is.) I'd tell my boss "I'm moving in two or three months. I'll let you know when it's happening!" 

It never happened. 

Then Aaron checked a brewers forum and noticed a job posting. The company was located in Nashville. The same Nashville that we have both traveled to and fallen in love with over the years. The same Nashville that fuels our passion for music. The same Nashville I'd only dreamt of settling down in.

That Nashville. 

He applied for the job and things have been a whirlwind ever since. The "we are moving to Orlando" phase lasted almost two years. Within a few weeks of his application, we had signed a lease on an apartment and I'd accepted a job offer at a local financial institution. 

It's been a crazy month, to say the very least. Lots of good byes and tears of both sadness and joy. But this morning, as we sit on our sofa (that was finally delivered!), jamming to Willie Nelson, after an amazing biscuits and gravy breakfast, I'm so exited to see what Nashville holds for us! Be ready for some new tunes and tales of adventure in Music City!
