Change is a beautiful thing. Not the change you have in your pocket, although that can be pretty cool especially when you’re a kid. But a life change.
After fifteen years of a comfortable life with a good job living in the Texas Hill Country, we made the decision to uproot and re-locate to Central Texas. I have had several people ask me “why at your age do you want to move?”.
Now I take offense to anytime someone (especially my doctor) uses the term “your age”! Hey, I’m only 53. I still have a lot of years to go, thank you very much. My brain still works, my creativity level is at its highest, I keep up with the latest trends in my industry. Sure I use a little Just for Men on my graying beard, but I really don’t think its time to update my obituary. So the question still remains, “why move?”.
In the past few years, Gina and I have been discussing that if the right opportunity came along, we would really like to move to the Austin area. Well the right opportunity has come along. On Tuesday, we were blessed by the official news that I will become the first Director of School and Community Relations for the Georgetown Independent School District. What a tremendous opportunity this is going to be.
Georgetown ISD is a vibrant, growing school district deep in tradition with a great history of success. They have excellent leadership and a supportive community. The City of Georgetown is a wonderful, quaint community poised for the growth that the experts anticipate. What a combination.
Although it will be hard to let go of familiar faces and routine places, what an experience it’s going to be. Gina and I are so at peace with this decision, we are not letting the thought of packing up everything we own impede our happiness. We are focusing on our goal and not the path. We are not listening to naysayers talk about a slow real estate market. We are firm believers that when the good Lord blesses you with opportunities, he will not allow obstacles to impede you from enjoying them.
A life change is a beautiful thing, and what a wonderful ride into the future its going to be.
