New series alert! I am compiling pages of notes (with lots of help from Darrell) about moving… basically what I would tell my sister if she called me up and wanted to know everything we’ve learned by moving twice in one year! 😅 Today, I want to start from a bird’s eye view: what to consider as you enter the planning process for a big move.
Read MoreAhhh! What a crazy week! And to think it is only Wednesday. I am finally sharing a sneak peak of our new apartment! The photo above was snapped only moments before the movers arrived today… so I’m now surrounded by mountains of cardboard boxes BUT I’m typing this post from the comfort of our couch!!
Read MoreWe are loving the balcony life!! It is so nice to have a little area of our own to enjoy the outdoors. That’s one thing we wished we had in NYC and it was a definite perk in picking this apartment. Darrell picked up dinner from a local eatery, Southern Salads and Sandwich Company. This was our first time checking out their restaurant and one that I think we will definitely order from again soon!
Read MoreHello, Rock Hill! It’s day 842 of the move in process (or so it feels!) and today we get the keys to our new apartment!! Still no word on when the moving truck will arrive but we have lots to unload today. Plus, the internet gets set up this afternoon. So all around, going to be a busy day.
Read MoreHave you had ice cream today?? We made it to South Carolina last night and have been chilling in a hotel until we can get into the new apartment. Tonight, we ate dinner in the car (we picked up some to-go food from a local restaurant) and then hopped across town to enjoy blizzards from Dairy Queen. Penny got in on the excitement with a pup cup! (This post in kind of a hodge podge of topics including an update on where we are at in the moving process!)
Read MoreAlright, I’m wrapping up the NYC food series with this delicious gluten free breakfast from our last morning in the city! We visited a cute diner that offered socially distant outdoor seating. It was a fabulous breakfast to fuel us for what ended up being a very long day! And it left us wondering why it took so long to find such a great place?!
Read MoreFor as long as I can remember, I dreamt of a life in NYC. The last few months were a whirlwind: a dream come true, a chapter much shorter than we imagined, a challenge and an opportunity for so much growth. It’s truly a magical place and it will always hold a place in our hearts! While it’s all fresh in my mind, I’ve written a blog post about the things I want to remember about our time in NYC.
Read MoreWe went down to the East Village on our last night as NYC residents for dinner at our favorite restaurant. It was such a wonderful evening and the weather was perfect.
Read MoreCOVID impacted us in so many ways and this chapter of our lives looks vastly different than we ever anticipated. We have made the tough decision to end our NYC adventure a lot sooner than planned. We are very happy to share that we’re moving to Rock Hill, South Carolina! (Greater Charlotte, NC area just over the state line)
