The Lowdown on the Hoedown

So as many of you know, the lovely Emily and I are packing up and moving to Old Hickory, Tn in the next couple of weeks. I'll be making a week (give or take) long road trip starting the 24th of this month and Em will be making a quick and easy flight a couple weeks later. I am continually asked "Why Tennessee?" In all honesty the only answer I have is "WHY NOT?" We're young, we have no ties, and I can't think of a more perfect place for the two of us to live. We tried Hawaii... in fact that's where we met. Although it was paradise, it put a little bit of a hole in our wallets. Idaho was and is great. Em was raised there and I spent the last 5 years there but it's time for a new adventure.

I've had the pleasure of visiting Tennessee a couple of times before. The most recent time was two years ago when I went to Nashville with my roommate from Hawaii (Carly, who you'll be hearing more about soon) and our moms. I instantly fell in love and knew deep down that I wanted to move out there eventually.

The best part is we will have it pretty easy when we get there. I'll have a car for us to get around in, we'll have two fully furnished and FREE apartments until we figure out where we want to work/live, and we already know people in the exact town we'll be living in. Let's get real though...we're pretty stoked about the pet raccoon and Spanish style pool we'll have : ) 

I'm new to this whole blog thing but Em is a pro. The goal of this is to keep all our loved ones informed and entertained. I'll try and keep my road trip documented but I'm not making any promises! I absolutely cannot wait for this next chapter in my life and can't imagine a more perfect person to have on my side! Thank you to everyone for your love and support in this life changing decision!

You'll be hearing from the both of us soon!
