Change is a comin'......

This blog is about more than just beer and food, it is also about life. And in life, change happens. It isn't always easy, but hopefully the change is for the good.

We are moving. Talk about a drastic change. We have lived in Carlsbad, CA for over three years. We have never lived, together, in anyone place for that long before, and it is difficult to leave. We have made incredible friends, shared holidays with family, and made this our home. But like I said earlier, change happens. We are moving because of an incredible opportunity to really jump start our future, I am not a huge fan of moving because of a job, but I realize that it is one of the necessary evils in life. Not everything can always happens within a 5 mile radius of your front door, well it can, but that front door may, from time to time, have a different number next to it.

With this move comes the prospect of buying a house (sooner than later hopefully), starting a family, and figuring out where we want to really put down roots. We are ready for a place to call home. I am looking forward to the adventures that lay ahead of us in the Santa Cruz area, but until we get there and give it some time to grow on us, we will just be visiting for an extended period of time. Maybe it will be the one, or maybe not, who knows. What I do know is that I am going to go into this with the idea that it is going to be great. I am excited to go to Tahoe, Yosemite, Mammoth, the Redwoods, visit our friends in San Francisco regularly, and really just explore all that the area has to offer. Of course there will be the work, which is going to get in the way of our fun times, but what can you do?

Moving is never easy, just when you think you've got everything accounted for, whammy, something else comes up and you have to figure that out. But that is part of the fun, the unexpected challenges. I enjoy the unknown, for the most part, and anxiously anticipate its next challenge. This is going to be a big one, but with a little luck, and some perseverance, everything will turn out just fine. And as long as I get to continue brewing, and drinking, my beer, everything will be good. Wish us luck on our adventure and I look forward to talking to you all again soon.

Cheers!!
