I\u2019m super excited to share this post with y\u2019all because I\u2019ve been sitting on this news for months! A while ago, I applied to become a writer for Noonday\u2019s Flourish Blog and a few weeks later I received an email that I was one of six ambassadors chosen to write for the blog! This is my first post about moving, why I Noonday and never giving up on your passions. I\u2019m really proud of it.<\/p>\n

$\"image5\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

he night before my husband left our home in Boston for Los Angeles to start his new job, we tucked the kids in together, packed his impossibly large suitcase, and sat on the couch to go over al the moving details.\u00a0He\u2019d go before our family and get settled in his new position as associate pastor of New City church and I would have the apartment packed up before he returned to load up our moving van.\u00a0He\u2019d find us a good place to live with an open plan for hosting, plenty of outdoor space for the kids, and pet-friendly for our black cat, Broadway.\u00a0 I\u2019d begin the long process of saying goodbye to Boston, goodbye to the people, goodbye to the snow, goodbye to Harvard Square where our kids played almost every weekend, and goodbye to the FANTASTIC public transit \u2013 we were trading in our T-pass for a fuel efficient Mazda.\u00a0The Type-A in me was so pleased with all our progress \u2013 until we got to our final line item, my Noonday business<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBabes,\u201d I started \u2013 I call him Babes, he calls me Babers, a relic from our \u201cunconventional\u201d season when we tried every variation of \u201cBabe\u201d from \u201cBabenstein\u201d to \u201cBaberino.\u201d\u00a0\u201cWhat about Noonday?\u201d I asked.\u00a0\u201cThe new line\u2019s coming out \u2013 should I buy new samples?\u201d<\/p>\n

He looked at me as if I had asked him if we should leave behind a child, or even worse, the cat.<\/p>\n
