The whole moving process started back at the end of March, which (strangely) seems like a VERY long time ago. My husband (SMS) accepted a teaching position for the fall in The Valley and I gave notice at the end of March. Although I kept working until July 11th, it was hard to stay focused on my job and New York, because I was busy looking for work and a place to live in LA. So far, I haven't found work, but we did purchase a car, rent a place to live and we are currently living among many, many boxes. The truck comes on Tuesday, we fly on Wednesday and then we get to it!
Both of us are nervous, excited and sad, but I am leaning towards excited and SMS is leaning towards sad. New York is his home so with this move he is 'leaving home.' However, New York was never REALLY my home (despite my desire to one day be Brooklyn Borough President), it was more like a fun adventure. The adventure stopped being fun a few years ago and I am really excited to move on. I think of New York as I think of my parents: New York, in a sense, raised me. I learned a lot, I laughed, I cried, but you can't live with your parents forever -- It's time for me to move on!
