somewhere over the rainbow

for the longest time now i have been wanting to get away... to move to nyc or even across the country. my goal: get out of murfreesboro.

my job is in belle meade. i now have to travel about an hour or more every day. and now nathan is sharing an office in brentwood. we are now at a point where we will need to move closer to nashville.

i have found myself thinking about all the things i will miss about murfreesboro. i have lived here for about 13 years. i know my way around... i have formed relationships... i have memories. i am comfortable. murfreesboro is a strange little town... you never know if it is too big or too small... it has a little charm that sneeks up on you. have you ever heard "don't go into dave's market" thing? where if you go in you will be destined to return to murfreesboro or stay in murfreesboro for the rest of your life. i went in one day, not knowing this. and i said i will NOT stay in murfreesboro, nor will i return when i leave. but now i find myself wanting to stay... or wanting to move back eventually. darn you murfreesboro and your sneeky charm. me and murfreesboro, we have a love/hate thing going on. like dorothy, i am realizing maybe there is no place like home.

so next month we will be moving closer to nashville. i am hoping to embrace this change. i think it will prove to be an exciting and good growth opportunity. and if i do miss it... it is only a short drive away :-)
