This move is quite bittersweet for me.  I’ve spent almost all my adult life in NC, really love it here.  I have a great job at Duke University with benefits that are out of this world and almost all of my friends are in NC.  Leaving it all is really quite scary when I let myself think about it.

It’s also very exciting!  The opportunity to go someplace and start a new life with my sweetie makes my heart race in anticipation!  I can’t wait for it!  It only took one marriage and 3 long-term relationships, but I’ve finally found the person I’m meant to be with and now I get to travel far away and have a new adventure with her!  What a grand idea!
