Over eight years
Years of change
Years of growth
Years of love
Years of pain
We’re ready
Moving on
Midwest,
Here we come!

Bruce and I are ready to leave. Not Medium. Not Chalkboard. California. It’s time to move back to the Midwest. Time to be near friends and family. Time to start setting up for the next phase of our lives. We are more than ready. We’ve got a month or two before we leave, but it will happen.

OK — Your Turn
