Not a Goodbye, But a Thank You
Even though I’ve moved away from Tomball, my last letter might have felt like a farewell. But let me reassure you—it’s not a goodbye. It’s a heartfelt thank you. Thank you to the lessons learned, the years of growth, and the memories made. The road down 290 still ties me to Tomball, and it will continue to guide me as I move forward into whatever God has in store.
I’m not walking away; I’m simply transitioning. My heart remains in Tomball, where I will continue to serve our beloved community, especially through our work with the Chamber—one of our favorite traditions is being a part of the Christmas Parade and Pageant. My relationships here are built on years of shared experiences, and thanks to real estate, I can continue to give back to those who pour so much into our community.
Though our home base is now on land we call Bluebonnet Hill—part of what was once known as the Fields of Dreams—I remain connected to Tomball with my office at The Fields {The White Bank of America Building next to HEB}. The names feel poetic to me, like a God wink. I will continue to work and serve in the place that shaped me, even as I lay my head down to rest in a new town. The balance of diving into a new community while still holding on to one so dear is challenging, but I know that God is guiding this next chapter. I don’t know exactly what He’s weaving, but I’m trusting in His timing and His pace.
This season feels like a whirlwind—like a hurricane, to be honest. I’m navigating the chaos of moving, connecting to a new community while holding on to the old, finishing grad school, renovating our new home, and completing the house that has been a refuge for us in every sense of the word. Our old street, with its wonderful neighbors who became like family, was the sweetest gift in all of this. They prayed for us, shared meals with us, and loved our children as if they were their own. It was a precious gift from the Lord, and leaving it behind has not been easy.
You might be wondering why I’m choosing to blog about this journey now. Trust me, I’m wondering too! I’ve always been a private person, but I feel God calling me to share what He’s done in my life. When my kids were younger and I was part of MOPS, our leadership team had a theme one year: “Unmasking Our Stories.” I didn’t want to share mine. It was messy, and I didn’t feel ready. But God gave me the strength, and those five minutes of vulnerability opened the door to relationships I never expected. Friends who didn’t know my struggles became sisters in Christ, praying with me, guiding me, and helping me carry the weight of life. That experience taught me the power of authenticity.
I never wanted to live with walls up again after that. It was too freeing to let them down. But, as life has a way of doing, I realized over time that I had built them back up. So here I am, sharing my journey once again. Not because everyone needs to know every detail of my life, but because when God is writing the story, it’s not mine to keep to myself. It’s meant to encourage, empower, and embolden others to trust in His voice and follow His lead.
Though I may no longer reside in Tomball, I’m still here. I will continue to serve, work, and be involved in the community that means so much to me. For some, it might seem like a job, but for me, it’s so much more—it’s my calling. Just like many of you make your way into Houston for work, I’ll continue down 290, staying connected to the heart of this town.
It’s not easy, and I don’t have all the answers. But I’m leaning in, praying, and staying obedient. Change is hard, and if you know me, you know I don’t always welcome it with open arms. But my heart is open to the newness this move brings, and I’m excited to see how God will continue to work in both the community I left and the one I am entering.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support me, both in life and in business. It’s scary sometimes, not knowing what the future holds, but the Lord has always provided, and I trust that He will continue to. I’m here to serve, just as I always have been, whether I’m down the road or in a new town.
Much love,
Hometown Realtor with Heart
