Lots of great eating and local shopping. Never New York but not the end of the world either. Of course you will need a car to make the hour drive north.

Actually, we might have lived there at the same time but at that point in my life, I knew nothing of blogs you see. And it took moving away to realize how much that city (and the boroughs) really meant to me. That's also when I discovered blogs and you and well the rest is history really. The past four years I've been living (and re-living) vicariously through you and your love affair with that grad ol' city! Well you, Friends, and Felicity re-runs. It's funny how life works out hu? So I wouldn't be surprised if life pulls you back to the city in the future and maybe (hopefully) our paths will cross then. Or we can become pen-pals and you can come visit me when I finally make my way back east because like you (kind of) I have someone (a cat) that needs to see the place he was named after (Brooklyn). It's not going to be easy to get my city fill once you're gone cause no-one really does it like you. But I'm excited to see how you make this new place your own and also to see if Huck continues to get cuter (I'm sure he will). Have a great adventure! -JB.Jackie L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02341380307144568627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-12157305030509147322015-07-14T16:10:16.989-04:002015-07-14T16:10:16.989-04:00There is something so beautifully full circle abou...There is something so beautifully full circle about this that I just felt that insane bubble of excitement (okay I've had a glass of rioja ;)) Much luck, Big love, Great Lovin xModerate Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494395272179422779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-70027627670526504742015-07-14T15:06:53.695-04:002015-07-14T15:06:53.695-04:00At least you'll be able to afford buying a hom...At least you'll be able to afford buying a home.

Would it be selfish to ask, as I am trying to make some big life changes, could you spill a little about how yall weighed your options-staying vs going? I am thinking of moving form Boston to San Diego so I can be near the beach. I just don't have a great reason like a professorship, things are so-so, fine, whatever here in Boston-pleasant enough. I guess life isn't supposed to be awesome and challenging and wonderful the majority of the time-you're just supposed to realize safety, shelter, family are everything...Wanting more is just more...? Anyway, blah blah blah, Im a big fan and look to your blog for advice fairly often! I'd just love to hear about what pushed the decision for yall to head out of town. Thank you for sharing! xo, Hhannahloulouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435185735804850028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-59341086394601505962015-07-14T10:24:14.291-04:002015-07-14T10:24:14.291-04:00I am in shock.

I remember telling you that I had to Google Moscow when I read about it in your book :) It does look lovely though. And I feel you have the power to rock the place wherever you live, so congrats to you, the Holbs and Huck. I can’t wait to follow this adventure.

It makes you appreciate people and places far more deeply, because you don't live like most people. You live in the past, present and future simultaneously. It's something special and strange, I don't know how I'll feel when we eventually settle for good (hopefully). I'll likely feel awesome and amazing and relieved and restless and sad :)<br /><br />You'll do great. Carve out a life for yourself as an individual too of course! Hug your old doctors, lol. It's all good, you'll adapt beautifully with your boys by your side.
