I'm back, with some changes ahead

I decided to temporarily make my blog private last month and I thought absolutely no one would notice. I thought I'd simply change the setting, disappear for a few weeks, and pop back up with a new post, and no one would be any wiser. After all, I've only posted once since May. May! Not to mention that blogs have been pretty much dying a quick death thanks to the demise of Google Reader (which I never used myself, but have heard was pretty popular).

But, it turns out, I was wrong. Lo and behold, people do still actually read this little blog of mine. You emailed, texted and facebook messaged me, asking where it went and if you could read it. You made me feel so loved!

The truth is, no one had access to my blog while it was private except for me. And I didn't post anything (I don't post while it's public, so...). And now it's public again. And maybe I'll even post on a somewhat regular basis. I just hope I didn't lose all the readers I had left by getting rid of my blog for the past month.

So while I'm here, I guess I'll share some news. My husband has accepted a new job and we are moving in a couple weeks. It's an amazing opportunity. A huge answer to prayer. He'll be a national correspondent for one of the cable news channels. He'll be working for their feed service, which means you may see him pop up on one of your local channels reporting on national news. And you may see him on the actual network at times too. (As I re-read this, I sound all calm and collected. But imagine me doing a little jig and jumping up and down and that's more like how we feel about this dream situation, okay?)

We'll be living in corporate housing for a month or two, so I'll hopefully be posting about our adventures in the city. And then we'll be moving to the suburbs, which will be an adventure all its own. I'm excited and nervous and slightly overwhelmed. But mostly just thankful for this opportunity. And super proud of my hard-working husband, who is so good at what he does.


You know, being a dad. But he's pretty exceptional at the reporter thing too.
