Goodbye Escape! :(

Yesterday, we checked off the final item on our "must-do" list before we move to Houston - sell my SUV, the first major purchase in my adult life filled with five years of memories from college and the first few years after. "Ella," or at least that's what Ryan and I call her, made countless commutes from Bloomington to Huntington for school breaks, family visits and holidays. It's also been a part of four moves (three different places in Bloomington and our house in Indy... yeah, we move a lot). Ella even brought Ryan home to meet my family four short years ago. And we never imagined this is where would be today. Bittersweet.

From Indy to Houston!

It's very exciting for us to officially announce our big news -- we're relocating to Houston, Texas! Ryan landed a new job and actually started working in August. We'd be lying if we said we made this decision easily. But after hours of deep conversations, comparisons, and even tears, we know in our hearts that this opportunity was given to us for a reason. The great news is that piece by piece, everything is falling into place. We closed on our house yesterday... whew! What a huge relief. In this down economy, we're extremely thankful this happened, especially so quickly. Day by day, box by box, we prepare to move 18 hours away from the state we've called home our entire lives. It's exciting, sad and a bit scary, all at the same time, but we are ready!

We're thrilled to start a new chapter in our lives together and share our journey with our loved ones. Check back for updates as we begin our road trip later this week and explore the south. Thank you for everyone's kind words and support as we embark on this new opportunity! 

Much love,

The Clayton's
