Man. . . oh man. It''s been a while lovelies. Things were in-sane. Innnnnnnsane!
My husband graduated on a Wednesday, we had our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner for our vow renewal on the Friday, the renewal on the Saturday, and we were out of our apartment and in a Penske truck on the Tuesday after. All of that within a week.
So, here we are in Boston. And it''s fantastic. We found a summer sublet which had the choice to renew for the year (which we are definitely taking advantage of. I don''t want to move again unless we have movers and a mortgage. We''ll stay put for now). It''s a tiny space, but an awesome space. A few doors down from the public garden in gorgeous Back Bay. DH started his job on Monday and is happy with it. He''s a California boy born and raised, so that was a big thing for him. If he likes his job, he''s happier anywhere (financial industries are hard-core lifestyle types of jobs. So, liking his job is a big part of him being happy).
I''m incredibly happy here for more reasons than I can even get into. Being back east has been a dream for me since my parents moved the family to California the summer before I started high school. It feels good to be back. I grew up on the east coast and have felt a sort of depression about not being back east for years (ok. . not a sort of depression. A deep depression. I''ll be honest). Now that I''m here, I feel like a fog has been lifted. The weather is beautiful (give me a thunderstorm anyday. As long as I don''t have to drive in it, let it pour!) and the people are great. They are reserved and over-all more conservative than SoCal. And that''s what I grew up with. So, for me, it''s like being home. I''m so happy here. It''s only been two weeks and I know at this point, that it''s still fantasy-land, but I really can see us staying here and DH, now that''s he''s calmed down (he doesn''t deal with change well), feels the same.
It''s great to be within walking distance to anything I need. I think that''s the thing I love the most. Not having to rely on my car. Living in a great neighborhood ain''t a bad thing either
The trip was great too. We drove a 16'' Penske truck with the three cats. Haha. There is something called Rescue Remedy. It''s at Whole Foods and comes in a little yellow box in the herbal remedy section. It calms the kitties down. Just the smell. I would put some on their paws and they''d lick a lil and badabing. . Night night time! We did have some inclement weather issues. Sandstorm in Nevada, snowstorm in Colorado (yes. snowstorm. in June). Haha. Tornado warning in Nebraska, and thunderstorms in upstate NY. Phew! But, we took our time, drove safely, stopped when we were tired or when the weather was too much to handle. If anyone needs cross-country driving tips, let me know.
I just wanted to thank everyone for all of your help in deciding where to go. Boston wins hand-down for us!
