It strikes me that Tucker, in particular, would be upset that I refer to you both as my babies… he’s a big boy now! But regardless, you’ll both always be my babies.
But baby talk aside, Daddy and I shared some big news with you recently - we’re moving to Austin! Daddy is taking a new position with Emerson at their business in Austin where he’ll be leading their M&A and ventures, a very neat opportunity. I’m so proud of your Daddy for, frankly, fighting for a new role that was worthy of him and that he will enjoy. He also turned down some good opportunities because they weren’t in great locations for you and for our family (think New Jersey, Ohio…).
Emmy (will be 6 in July), I can tell you have mixed emotions. You’re sad to leave your school, friends, and family in STL. You’re a bit timid of the unknown and not fully sure of what “moving” really means. The idea of leaving everything you know and the place you call home is definitely scary. You’re excited to help decorate your new bedroom and find some new playgrounds in Austin.
Tucker (will be 4 in August), I definitely don’t think you fully understand what “moving to Austin” means. However, you stormed out of the room outraged when we told you both we were moving. You later learned that we would be taking your toys, bed, stuffies, etc. etc. which made you pleased. You’re excited to get a “big boy bed” in Austin and have asked for a super hero bedroom. You’ve also asked if your teacher, Ms. Alexis, could come and live with us 🥰
Our house, 484 Whitree Ln, is on the market now. And we’re actively house hunting in Austin, with a trip planned to go visit as a family next week. I’m hoping we find a home so we can narrow down and select a great school for you both!
I think that ultimately this will be a good move for our family. You’re both at the right age where moving won’t be devastating to you. And it will be a fun town to explore. Not to mention, Ascension, where I work, has a huge health system there as well as our Clinical Studio HQ. Austin is the #1 city in the US that people are moving to currently, so we’ll likely have some competition with the housing market, potentially schools and other factors, which will be tough. But hopefully that growth will end up being a good thing in the end.
What’s important is that we’re together, we’re finding our new home as a family, exploring and enjoying an exciting new city together.
