{exciting news} we're moving!

well this may just be our craziest adventure yet: we're packing up the cats and heading out west!
it's something A and i have talked about doing for years, and we're finally doing it. we're certainly going to miss our family and friends in texas, but we can't wait to start this next exciting chapter of our lives!
our new home awaits us in lovely louisville, colorado...
