Hi All! Hope everyone is having a great weekend and that you're ready for Christmas if you celebrate in (ack!) THREE days! 

If you follow me on social media, you may have noticed that I've been a little MIA lately. I've also been mentioned that I've been busy and stressed a lot on the blog without really giving any reasons why. Well, I am happy to finally be able to share the (totally legit) reason/some big news with the Internets today!

No, I'm not pregnant (thank goodness). I just accepted a new job at a non profit that works to reduce child malnutrition and mortality worldwide through micronutient supplementation. And that job just happens to be located in sunny Santa Barbara, California, so I'll be moving all the way across the country by the end of January.

This was definitely one of the hardest decisions I've ever made. I moved to New York for college and went all the way to China for grad school, but moving when you don't have the comfort of living in a dorm and built-in friends is a lot more scary. The prospect of leaving the bf and all my family and friends behind and moving to a city where I don't know a single person is terrifying. But I really loved the city and the organization when I visited last week and am super excited to start this new chapter.

I'm going to do my best to keep the blog updated at a normal pace, but please bear with me if moving my life cross country around the holidays causes any interruptions.

Q: Have you ever moved cross country? Any tips? Know anyone in Santa Barbara? I need some friends there...
