Random updates and San Francisco

Y'all so much is going on over here! I just need some stuff to finalize so I can start making plans!

Here's the big scoop - Me, Honey and Sofia are leaving AZ behind and headed to Austin at the end of the month! We are renting for 6 months while our beautiful home is being built! We are so excited (and stressed). The house will sit on 2 acres in Dripping Springs.

Sneak peak - this was the starting point that we have tweaked several times to meet our needs.

But the end result will also look and feel more like this:
 Whit's stacked stone fantasy.

Texas farmhouse chic!

So in the meantime, I've talked with my job about working remote - and it just might happen. If it doesn't, I've lined up another job for the same company I work for that is remote based! Woo Hoo!!

I really didn't expect that to happen since last year when I brought the subject up, I was told "no."

So while that is all exciting, I've also applied for positions outside of the company I work for and have had 2 really good interviews (and a 3rd this week) with one company that I would love to work for! I just can't believe all of this is happening!

So stay tuned for all those details! Crazy stuff! My last day sitting in my office in AZ will be 05/30. We will be all picked up and ready for movers some time this week.

Here is where things get even more crazy.

Leave AZ on 05/31, drive to Austin, meet my (ex) in-laws for a visit with Sofia on 06/02. June 3 fly with Honey to San Francisco for a work/fun trip. We'll spend Tuesday - Thursday in the city and then on Friday we are driving to Yosemite for the weekend. Then back to Austin on the 8th to meet the movers at the rental on 06/09. WHEW!!

So in an effort to deal with the stress, I turned to retail therapy. I picked up a few new items for the SF trip. (click on images for source)

Nordstrom never disappoints. Online shopping is my friend.

This last dress came from BelleChic Boutique but it doesn't appear to be available any longer.

Oh how fun! Your home is going to be gorgeous. We have been having some amazing weather here in San Francisco (Today it's going to be 90!) So I hope it sticks around for you!
