My family and I have dealt with so much transition in the last few months. Since we moved, there have been many adjustments that needed to be made and in the early days of the move, you already know the online world and blogosphere helped me get through that difficult time.
At first, I missed being close to New York City.
I missed the hustle and bustle of life in a busy suburb practically in the backyard of a major metropolis.
But upon moving, what I didn’t miss was the major traffic and congestion and soon later, I no longer missed life in the fast lane.
I actually started to really settle in to these quiet roots down here. And having grown up and spending all of my childhood days down the shore, I started to remember what I love most about being here.
Like my mom always says, “With everything in life – there’s always a tradeoff.”
So how do I feel about the move now?
Priceless.
I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
What I wouldn’t give to live near a beach
So glad you love it there!
Thanks mama!! We’re finally feeling our groove again 😉
That looks pretty awesome. Love you. xo
Thanks Tracy! It’s been a long time coming – and I love ya, too xo
Heather – so glad you are adjusting and falling in love with where you are. Change is hard, but to see your kids be able to run by the ocean like that? That’s precious.
I am glad you are getting in the groove.

Thank you Kiran!! Yes, change is hard but knowing my kids will be growing up with good schools AND the beach as their playground – would be pretty hard not to find our groove 😉
Thanks so much for reading and commenting xo
That looks amazing! I’m glad you’re finding your groove and appreciating the beauty found in your now
Thank you Angela!! YES, I am really beginning to appreciate my “now.”
xoxo
It looks like a beautiful place to live and raise your kids and you know what…. you can always visit the city when you want.
Thanks Jackie! That’s exactly the way I’m looking at it – NYC is still close enough when I want or need to be there 😉
I love the picture! So great!
I’d love to live near the beach…. were you in the Sandy area? I hope all is okay!
