After close to five years S and I are leaving the great city of Gotham!
via |
Our long term goals always involved moving closer to family. Being over 24 hours from them can get just a little rough. When fantastic professional opportunities came our way, we decided there was no better time than now to move back to the region.
So in about four weeks, we will say ta ta to my favourite city in the world and our NYC family, and head off to the island so small it's marked as a tiny red dot on a world map.
There are a million and one things on my to-do list and being busy has its advantages - I have zero time to feel sad about leaving earlier than I feel emotionally prepared for. Though I do take courage in all the exciting things ahead of us. It truly blows my mind to think that we can be with our families for all the birthdays, celebrations, holidays - and even when there's no absolutely reason at all.
And while I can't think about what I will miss in the city without getting teary-eyed, I am THRILLED we are escaping what is expected to be a brutal New York winter.
I first moved out nearly 15 years ago. This baby is finally going home.
Congratulations! How fabulous you will be close to family mow. I hope you keep blogging/instagramming your new life because I'd love to hear about it!!!

ReplyDeleteSO glad I got to see you just before we left! Come visit me here sometime?
DeleteThat's so wonderful to be moving back home! My brother has been living in Singapore for several years now and it doesn't look like he's moving back "home" anytime soon. He loves it! How exciting for your family as well! Safe travels home!
ReplyDeleteWOW nice! Have you visited him? The weather is a wonderful change and the food is great - I can see why your brother wants to return! Thank you for your well wishes - maybe I will see you on these shores soon!
DeleteCongratulations! and I hope that you've been indulging in all your favourite NYC foods before you go, that's what I'd be doing. Looking forward to all your adventures in Singapore!
ReplyDeleteI stuffed myself silly before leaving and I am scoffing down so many goodies since I've arrived! There is excellent food here I can't wait to share them on the blog. Thank you for your well wishes!!
