You may have already heard the news via Instagram....
But if you haven't yet-Here it is.
.....like soon,
It happened so fast that I feel like its all a dream....a wonderfully, magnificent dream that I never want to wake up from. There are moments when the reality of this hits me like,
Oh my gosh, this is real and this is happening.
We are moving.
Then I have to take a few deep breathes and be a big girl.
First question we get asked: Why are we moving?
A:Bronson got offered his dream job at one of the best design firms in the country....Rapt Studio.
Rapt Studio does design for companies like Adobe, Apple, and Nike to name a few.
...If you know anything about my husband, then you know how amazing this is to him.
Second question we get asked: What about People Water?
A: People Water is our third child.
We love People Water and what it's doing for people around the world and in our own country in ways we can't even put into words.
People Water is also the platform that built my husbands career into what it is today, and for that we can't ever be grateful enough.
So, with that said, he will NEVER leave People Water! The guys there are our family, and
Bronson is an owner in the company-We will always be apart of it.
There is some bitter in all this sweet for us, though.....Leaving our family is a huge deal. Our kids adore our parents and their aunts, uncles, and cousins. And so do we, duh.
(But we're planning on getting a SouthWest card, moms and dads.....don't worry! Lots of visits are in our future. )
And it's always scary leaving what works and is comfortable to you for the utterly unknown, but in the midst of all these mixed emotions of excited and scared, and happy and sad...I know this is whats right for us.
I pray everyday for opportunities to come to my husband, myself, and our family. And I pray for ways to strengthen our family as a whole...And I guess what I'm saying is be careful what you pray for-because it might actually happen and turn your life upside down for minute, haha!
But, really, Bronson has been working his whole life to get to this exact point right now. I can't be any happier or more proud of him.
I heard someone say somewhere that there is no such thing as luck....that luck is actually when preparation meets opportunity. Well, I'm so happy my wonderful husb has been preparing, and I'm so happy Cory opened the door to this great opportunity.
Cory and Kelsey Sistrunk, are our dear friends who live in SF. Cory has been working for Rapt for over a year and is Bronson's design role model basically. And Kelsey is helping us find housing, telling us about school districts, and giving us the ins-and-outs of living in the Bay area. They have two of the most beautiful baby girls I've ever seen, and are one of our most favorite families we know. We'd be lost without them and I'm SO grateful for them in so many ways!
So, there you have it.
Our HUGE news.
You better believe I'll be updating you regularly.
Oh, and want to rent out our house? Its really cute. haha.

this is amazing! just stumbled on your blog, but i'm so happy for you guys and we live in SF so whoo hoo! you will love it! congrats! XO chaseandem.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteyay! i love finding awesome people who live in SF!
Deletehey weslie! i don't know you personally but we know a lot of the same people. gotta love the blogging world and instagram :) anyway, my little family lived in san francisco last year and fell totally in love with it. we lived in a city called burlingame... probably my favorite place i've ever lived (and we've been all over). excellent schools, totally family oriented (i have two little girls like you, so that was important to me), fun little shops, parks everywhere, yummy restaurants. i know you have friends helping you, but if you haven't checked out burlingame yet, you definitely should. it's 15 minutes from the city. we lived in a duplex there in the neighborhood where the elementary school is... i was within walking distance from 3 parks. oh i just loved it. SO, i thought i'd pass that long. congrats on the promotion and good luck! i'm sure you'll find somewhere wonderful. if you have any questions, i'd be more than happy to help you.
ReplyDeletegood luck!

Anyways just wanted to say I think you have the most adorable family, and I always look forward to reading your blog. I just started my own, and blogs like yours definitely inspired me to make one.

ReplyDeleteSuch amazing news! Life must be a blur of emotion and activity right now. I had a career opportunity to live in SF when I was just a few years older than you guys. It is an incredible city, great neighborhoods and the entire region full of unique getaways and experiences. You will love it there. It truly is one of THE great American cities.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Bronson on such a great accomplishment and good luck to you both on your latest life adventure!
Congratulations! I stumbled upon your blog a while ago and wanted to tell you how much I enjoy reading about your life adventure. You keep it real. You seem like a great mom, wifey and friend. And you have great taste in music and fashion. With that said, here's one of my favourite music site you & the fam may enjoy while packing www.radiozero.ca Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I'm totally creepin' your blog and you're moving to San Fran!? SO JEALOUS! My husband and I are definitely keeping SF in consideration for when he applies to masters programs. I know a girl who moved to SF and she makes bank doing hair, so it's definitely at the top of our list to move to in the next 2yrs or so. How cool! You'll have to keep me updated on how you like it, lady! I'm sad that we just met and you're already moving, because I was looking forward to getting to know you and Bronson better; we definitely need more married friends! Anyway, I'll shut up now. Oh, just one more thing: you inspire me to blog more, haha. I love your blog!
