Moving to the US!!!

I have some big news! I'm moving to the US!! Hubby recently got a promotion. I'm sooo proud of my man :) Bye bye Toronto, Ontario...Hellooo Houston, Texas!! No more cold long winters! Lots of fab shopping! I can't wait to check out all the craft shops. There are also some yummy restaurants hubby and I are looking forward to trying. I'm gonna miss our home. Hubby and I watched it get built and have lived in it for just over a year. No more big craft room. Hopefully our new home in Houston will have a big craft room *crossing fingers & toes*. Our current home is also in a nice neighborhood and we have great neighbors. We do get to go house hunting which will be fun :) I would love to have a pool :) Big move, big changes...I'm looking forward to what the future has in store for us :)
