I prefer Washington DC. I have family and friends close to Washington DC. I work in publishing. I am on the low end of the career ladder.
I live in Texas. I am moving to Washington. I love to hike. I have 2 border collies. I am an artist. I have my own website to sell my art. I speak both french and english.
I advanced in my career.   That's fantastic! Finally got the promotion you deserved? It's been so dang long. Binding books is hard graft. Hoping to save to move to DC someday soon. How's the move planning going? Going pretty well! Washington is a heck of a lot smaller than Texas so I'm going to have to sell most of my displayed art to fit everything into the new place. I'm just hoping the the dogs are going to be ok with the move. That's true! They say you can drive for days and still be in Texas. Shame about the art - someone out there will appreciate it for sure and the cash could help. How's the pups? They're doing great, but I am worried about the lack of running around space they will have after the move, guess I'll just have to find a nice doggy park to them to each day. Was it your mom that lived in Washington? Maybe she'll want to join me in taking the dogs out some time. Getting out will be good for you too - give you a chance to explore for sure! And yes indeed - she'd definitely appreciate that. Think she's been down recently but she loves dogs.  Awh great! What's been getting your Mom down if you don't mind me asking? I think Dad's passing has really affected her. It's been a few years but it's only just hitting her. She'd like to see the dogs for sure. I'm sorry for your loss, I'm actually moving to Washington to be closer to my father after my Mother's passing. She can definitely see the dogs when ever she likes!
