Going To The Big D, and I Do Mean Dallas

eggwardsWell, I'm here. Thanks to Chris coming down and helping me get packed and brining things up to Dallas, my life is now officially changed. There's still a lingering presence in Houston, or i have to get the rest of the junk there into storage, but that may be a few weeks.
For now, and the foreseeable future, I'm a Dallasite, I live with Chris and I love him. it's going to be interesting getting to know how all of the new things in our lives work together, and learning when to give a little time and distance to one another when it's needed. Challenges, but good ones.
I start the new job in the morning. Many people expressed shock when I said I was going to be working at the new place with nothing but a weekend in between, but really, this was the new company's call, and I'm not in a position (yet) to fight that. It was part of the package that I've been wanting for so long, so I had to go with it. I think all of the new stuff will be exciting, though.
I guess I'm a little anxious. I could hardly sleep last night, in my old bed, with all the planning to do, the physical work in the rain this morning, and the looming challenges of the new job and life. hopefully I can sleep tonight, because I have a 25 mile commute in the morning.
For the last 3 years, each time I come into Dallas to see Chris, I would sing the TV theme to Dallas (you know, da-da, da-dah, da da da da dah duh...) when I saw the downtown skyline (which on I-45 appears right around the I-20 interchange south of town). this was usually alone in the car, and i was just happy to be close to my destination. I think I've retired that little habit tonight, especially as Sirius' "The Pulse" station played Howie Day's "Collide" - Chris' and my song. I think I've truly arrived home.
Unfortunately, I can't remember the song to the TV show Houston Knights.

I don't even REMEMBER Houston Knights so you're a step up from me ...

Thanks!
