It's amazing to think a year ago we were spending our last few evenings with our closest friends and family in Atlanta. Our house was on a truck, on it's way to Manhattan. I had no idea what life would be like.
It wasn't easy, and there were some teary-eyed evenings. I was extremely homesick for the first 9 months we lived here. We both missed our friends from back "home" and the comforts of the suburban lifestyle we loved so much.
In October we had a turning point and it took us that long to realize that we didn't need suburbia to make it feel like home, we just needed to settle in. Since then I made an effort to find a job that better suits my needs and Nick is making great strides in his new job. He really loves it and I can only hope that I'll be singing the same tune in just a few short months.
Timing is everything right? Fate leads us in the right direction. I'm finally realizing that New York was a great change for us. It took the better part of 2011 to see and feel that, but I can only hope that 2012 can just get better.
Happy New Year!
