Last Day as Texans

The long awaited, much anticipated day is finally here. Today is our last day in Texas, as we're hitting the road at 4 am tomorrow. We're so excited but it is truly bittersweet. We'll miss our absolutely wonderful & supportive families, who have been our anchors throughout the crazy busy year of engagement, wedding planning, & now moving. We'll miss our amazing friends (who really feel like just a part of our family) who we love spending time with, laughing with, & partaking in shenanigans with. We'll miss you all so, so much & we promise to keep in touch. We will keep you updated & we will see you SOON! We're documenting our roadtrip via camcorder, so we'll be sure to post the footage once we get settled in, as well as some pics of the new apartment & gorgeous Madison. And now, a tribute to our hometown:

Top 5 Reasons We'll Miss Dallas

1. Highways that actually make sense (which seems to be lacking in NJ)
2. Accessibility to mall shopping, regardless of what part of the metroplex you're in
3. Texas hospitality... nothing quite like it
4. Hearing other people say "y'all" on a regular basis
5. The familiar feeling of just being home. We both proudly call Dallas home, & this city will be missed.

Thank you all for all your support, reassurance, comfort, laughter, friendship & all your love over the years. Please pray that our marriage continues to grow stronger, that we'll settle in quickly & start building the community we've longed for for a while now, & that our path will be clear. We'll be back before you know it, & can't wait to see you all again very, very soon.

Safe journies,
