Neither of us can believe that it was six months ago to the day when we turned in our keys at Rockland Avenue and drove down to North Carolina to live. During the past six months we’ve moved twice (really three times if you include this crazy Thanksgiving weekend), traversed the insanity that is home-purchasing, and managed to come out in pretty good shape.
It hasn’t been easy, but I’d love to be able to email this post back-in-time to myself on that first long-day we drove down. Kate and I experienced many sleepless nights over this move (and not just because we slept on an inflatable mattress for almost three months).
But here we are, and things are good. We have a super-sweet almost-new house that would not have been anywhere near affordable for us in New England, we ended up in a nice town that’s not to big and not to small, and we’ve met some locals who’ve been super-nice to us. So right now we’re situated somewhere between lucky and fortunate.
Six months?
Was it yesterday or a lifetime ago you two packed kit and kaboodle and moved to warmer climes?
I must say the internet has made this a bit easier to take. Thanks for all the posts and photos that keep us connected.
Love you Both!
love the picture of the house at night, although that made me a little sad, I don’t know why. We are so proud of you two for being pioneers, but miss you like crazy. Can’t wait to squeeze you both. Yes, Cheech, the internet makes it less difficult to cope with far away kiddos.
love momD xxoo
