I'm moving!

For those of you that don’t know, I am making a big change. I am moving to New Mexico! Why New Mexico, do you ask? Why not? I have been looking for a place that called to me and, finally, I have found my jumping point. I know a few people in the Southwest and the culture seems like a great fit. (Hopefully I’ll get to practice my Spanish lots!) Carlsbad, New Mexico is where I'll start. My mom is relocating there. I am going to stay with her for a few weeks until I decide where I want to settle. I also have a friend moving to Santa Fe, NM and another in southern California. I’m going to do as much traveling as possible to find the RIGHT place instead of just A place to settle in. I am starting this blog on the heels of my cousins Jay and Erica. They both began their blogs as a way for family and friends to check in on their new babies, Micah and Braden. (How adorable!!) My idea is for you to be able to check in on me as I continue on my journey of life. (Minus the baby, for now.) :-)

I will be done working right before Thanksgiving so I can visit my family over the holiday. I will then leave the last week in Nov or the first week in Dec. Cairo, my cat, and I will be driving cross country for the first time! I would love to hear from you all as I go. And if you are ever in the southwest, I hope you let me know! It will be my first time not being within driving distance from home. Even being in Grand Rapids, there has always been the comfort of knowing I can get in the car and head north for whatever reason.

That’s all for now. I’ll be adding more soon, but feel free to keep me accountable if I haven’t added anything for a while and you are curious!

Besos,

Haley

Can't wait for your visit here in Carlsbad. I'll have warm tortillas and a great big hug waiting for you.

greetings Ms.Brite (Rainbow that is...) Thank you for attending the halloween bash. I hope you had fun during your short visit to my household. I think you & Cairo will love the trip out west (noah & I did a few years back):) Take good care of yourself & know that I intend to have coffee with you before you depart the Grand Rapids area! peace, amanda
