We're Moving!!!!

As sad as it is to say, and in such a short time, Rob and I are moving out of New York and to....North Carolina!

We gave New York a chance, but in the end and for the future, we just felt that we couldn't have the life we truly wanted. While we love the trees, the food, Rob's job and culture, we also don't like the drivers, a lot of the crabby people and the cost of living. We're ready in our lives to plants some roots and buy a house and in New York we could only afford the smallest of places. It really upset us, but why should we make ourselves suffer for just a few small good things?

Why North Carolina? Well, it was actually going to be Arizona that we moved to because it was a familiar place and it's easy to live there. But, we did not expect to fall in love with North Carolina like we did! North Carolina won us over with its super friendly people, beautiful trees and the affordability. It's clean down there and is growing and it just makes us happy. It's all rather crazy and sudden, but Rob and I thought we'd give it a chance! We're looking at Charlotte as our starting point because it has the most design firms that suit Rob and the city has a wonderful urban art district and for me a Trader Joe's and soon-to-be Ikea. Surprisingly, we're getting wonderful support from family and friends. My parents realize that we can have a good healthy life there. Rob's parents are moving to North Carolina themselves in a few years. Rob and I actually have a couple friends there, including my old next door neighbor from when I was around 8.

And when? Since our lease is up on the apartment and we have it in our heads to move, we're leaving near the end of July! It's all crazy, but it's exciting: )
