Yesterday the landlord at our NYC apartment started bringing people by to view it in anticipation of our move at the end fo the month.  I must say, I wasn’t quite prepared for that being the trigger that made reality set in.  We’re really moving.  It has been almost six years here.  A place which I have loved living more than any other.  Maybe it’s because it’s the first place my wife and I moved in together after getting married.  Maybe it’s because it’s New York.  Maybe it’s because the neighborhood has grown up around us w/ constantly new and interesting things popping up.  Maybe it’s just because I’m getting older.  Whatever it is, I will be sad to leave.

It is, however, time for change.  We’ve become too entrenched.  Too comfortable.  This isn’t the end and there’s much more to do.  We have a baby on the way and it’s time for things to get interesting again.  I’d like to take some new ventures w/ the business, in addition to the adventure of having our first child.  I am looking forward to being back in Austin around long missed friends and family.  The anticipation of being a father is extremely exciting and the anticipation of having some freedom to try new things w/ our business is too.

Still, it is bitter sweet.  And right now as we spend our final month as New Yorkers, that reality is settling in.
