Wow.
Has it really been 10 months since my last post? That’s insane.

Let me take this time to recap the biggest change in my life since April 2014.
I’m no longer in Texas.
Back in July, I turned in my resignation at the San Marcos Daily Record and moved to Athens, Georgia. Now I didn’t move to the Classic City on whim (even though crazier things have happened). I accepted a position with the Athens Banner-Herald as a designer/online producer.
Leaving Texas pained me. It really did. I’m not afraid to admit that I shed legit tears as I drove along Highway 80 and passed the city limits sign. Seven years is a long time and I grew as a person and a journalist more than I could have imagined.
Moving to Georgia forced me out of my comfort zone once again, but I was ready for it. I knew what it took to create a new footprint since I had done it twice before and since I hit the ground running in each of my previous stops, I’d do it again.
Needless to say, I feel as if I’ve excelled in my current position. Not only am I getting the thrill of deadline in a completely different way, I am learning from some awesome folks with tons of experience. Plus, I’ve been able to write a few sidebars here and there, which keeps those award-winning skills sharp.
Thanks for reading. Hopefully I’ll do a better job of updating this site in the future.
