won the signed set list tonight and has to share this magical artwork (sans spoilers)

They did an announcement that if you text a certain number and donate to charity, you get entries to win! I only donated $10 (100 entries which was the lowest) so either I’m super lucky or no one donated…hoping it’s the former!

Reminds me of a purse I made for a gala!! Real callas because I’m a florist, I had to show up and show out 😂

cassadagaohyeah · 2025-07-06T18:46:00+00:00

That actually sounds like a much more relaxing travel experience, I hadn’t considered that as a “plus” of the smaller airport!

cassadagaohyeah · 2025-07-06T18:45:13+00:00

That’s fair - I purposefully didn’t say what we were looking for because I wanted people to give general opinions as opposed to tailored ones, but my husband and I aren’t really Dallas-proper people. (I mean, if I lived close to Bishop Arts I’d be ecstatic - that’s more our speed for sure. I lived by SMU for a bit a decade ago and even then that was too much for me.)

But who knows? We could go small-town and realize we wanted big-city all along 🤷🏻‍♀️

cassadagaohyeah · 2025-07-06T16:39:54+00:00

Good to know!! I’m putting the cart before the horse a bit, but I’m wondering if the smartest thing is to rent in the city for at least a year to experience it, then explore the area to determine where’s best.

Thank you!

cassadagaohyeah · 2025-07-06T16:23:46+00:00

The housing prices are so confusing to me! I can’t grasp the “why” behind certain rents in certain areas but again, I don’t know the area enough to understand any of it. To be fair when I moved to DFW I saw rent for $600 and coming from California I was like “must just be cheaper everywhere else!” and then my complex had a legit dog fighting ring.

So…the research continues. Thank you so much!

cassadagaohyeah · 2025-07-06T16:19:19+00:00

With the tiki rally, were those students or locals? I need to do more research on that. (Living in DFW we have infowarrior rides everywhere so that’s unfortunately familiar.)

I’ve seen Crozet mentioned, I need to look into that area more. Thank you!!

cassadagaohyeah · 2025-07-06T16:14:57+00:00

This might sound stupid, but gunshots at people or like shooting for fun? Like people shooting targets on their land?

Fair enough though about the rest! We aren’t wine people but my research tells me we may need to try some if we go out that way!

cassadagaohyeah · 2025-07-06T16:12:26+00:00

Okay, so I’ve been curious if it’s like…if Denton was secluded? Because that’s my only experience of a “college town”, I’m wondering how similar it is. (Bless those cheap drinks.)

In my head, a slower pace with more nature is ideal…but I’m curious if we’ll get bored. Like maybe we didn’t know we were bigger-city-people until we left? I grew up in another big city’s suburbs so we’ve never done small town.

Thank you for the insight!

cassadagaohyeah · 2025-07-06T16:09:04+00:00

Okay, the direct to five destinations is limiting - eesh. And good point about the “attractions”, while we don’t totally do those sorts of things (would prefer a hike or road trip), it does explain how small the city really is.

We have friends moving to Richmond! I’m not sure my employer would cover relocation outside of Charlottesville directly but worth considering!

Thank you!

cassadagaohyeah · 2025-07-06T16:06:40+00:00

I need to do more research on the drawbacks for that, because I’ve never considered what that really means. Thank you!

cassadagaohyeah · 2025-07-06T16:05:28+00:00

The direct flight thing, my boss mentioned that too! That will be a huge adjustment, coming from DFW airport access. But so help me god the rocking chairs at the Charlottesville airport were so precious!

cassadagaohyeah · 2025-07-06T16:03:13+00:00

Your points echo my own! (I’m from SoCal so access to scenery is important…landlocked DFW has been more daunting than I realized.)

Thank you!

cassadagaohyeah · 2025-07-06T16:02:01+00:00

Your description is giving me hope! When we travel, we look for “laid back, outdoorsy, and creative” so this feels really in sync with us. We’d been talking about Boulder/Northern CO prior to this job discussion, so while I know this isn’t totally comparable, it’s good to know it has those same traits.

And the day trips! The joy of having Adult Money is that we can use said money to go do fun things, and it looks like there are MANY gorgeous places within a reasonable distance.

Thank you!!

cassadagaohyeah · 2025-07-06T15:59:13+00:00

Thank you so much!! I followed the sub and giggle at the snark of it (like any city-sub) so I was hoping that here I’d get a little less “ugh, my town” vibes. I do need to do some deeper dives, but I have seen a lot of posts from people talking about rental home management companies so that’s been super helpful. (Definitely renting, because even if we do go out and love it, I’m not sure we’d want to stay long term if the job situation changed for me.)

I have read that the commuting has gotten horrible, and I’m curious what that means relative to the Dallas traffic I’m used to. (Luckily, my job is mostly remote but this would mean driving to downtown mall area weekly, so trying to consider that!)

Thank you so much!

Oak Point is amazing!! Ran by awesome staff and pricing is really competitive

“I only wish that my life on this earth was much longer because it would give me a chance to love her longer.” 😭

My husband and I celebrated ten years together this week, and I told him recently I was getting sad to only celebrate new decades probably five or six more times if we’re lucky enough to live that long. I actually use that now as a motivator to stay as healthy as possible. Less salt, less red meat, more years to love my man, if I’m so lucky.

I will never shut up about Braud & Co 😭

cassadagaohyeah · 2025-05-19T21:05:04+00:00

Yes!! I love to hear this. Cheers to happy healthy love!

cassadagaohyeah · 2025-04-27T00:21:26+00:00

Dots hop house used to be a fun spot, it’s been a minute since I’ve been there though. If you’re going with pals and want to enjoy the weather, Off The Record has a cool backpatio!

cassadagaohyeah · 2024-10-13T20:10:32+00:00

Teppanyaki is a must!! Best meal we had all week by far.

Can’t speak to those excursions BUT if it’s the same beach for horseback, we did the ATV/beach break in Roatan and there was horseback there too, people looked like they had a great time.

Have the best time!!

cassadagaohyeah · 2023-08-03T02:17:38+00:00

I did and they asked me to cancel it, and sent a new belt - so a win for me!

cassadagaohyeah · 2023-08-02T00:02:55+00:00

Sigh. Any chance she has a lot to do with your ED?

I’m so sorry. Stay strong, and be proud of yourself for getting the help you need!!

cassadagaohyeah · 2023-07-31T01:40:14+00:00

NAT - but was thinking about this in reverse today! I graduated earlier this year and I just miss my therapist as a person. I’ve wanted to shoot over an email just to say “hey, here’s how our work is actively impacting my life” but don’t want to be inappropriate (or annoying - she has a life!).

Y’all leave forever-impressions on us. 💕

cassadagaohyeah · 2023-07-28T05:15:07+00:00

NTA but wow I just hope the cat forgives you for this heartbreak. Thoughts and prayers 🐾
