Announcement

You may have noticed that there has been some splotty blogging and some very ho hum posts lately. Not a lot of finished objects or new ones started, etc. I've kind of been preoccupied by something that took a lot of my personal energy for the past two months, but I can now announce that Shoes and Yarn will soon be relocating.

Not the blog, silly... Me.

I accepted a promotion and will be moving to Kansas City, Mo. The position is a very good move for me professionally and they made me an offer that I couldn't turn down. This was quite possibly the hardest decision I've ever made in my entire life. For two months while going through the process, I alternated between, "what a great opportunity!" and "Oh, my god, I can't leave my family."

It took me all day practicing yesterday to be able to say that I was going to accept the position without actual tears. It's a good thing I have an office with a door. I did managed to accept the position today without choiking up, but I still tear up when ever I talk to a family member about moving. I did manage to tell co-workers as long as I avoided saying anything about leaving my family and friends.

This is the right move for me at this point in my life. I'm single, no boyfriend, no children, etc. so I can do this. It's only a 4.5 hour drive or a short Southwest flight away.

I feel like the "I will survive" should be playing in the background..."
