Goodbye Hoboken

I can't believe that after over 4 years we are leaving the city. When Dan quit his job right after we got married and then found a job in Manhattan I thought I would never be able to do it. I remember my first few weeks exploring the city so overwhelmed and scared for what lay ahead of me. After a year of living in Manhattan and loving it we decided we needed more space and a more affordable option to start our family. I was 6 months pregnant with Anderson when we moved to Hoboken and we never regretted the decision. I love Hoboken so much and look forward to going back to visit with both Anderson and Annabel to show them where our little family began.

There are way too many things I will miss about Hoboken to list them all here. I know Anderson will miss our multiple daily walks, the many parks, the pier, and the choo choo train we used to take into the city.

Anderson's favorite park (Church Square Park)

I will miss how easy city living was with 2 kids. Yes, I think city living is actually a little easier with 2 kids! You don't have to lug them in and out of car seats and drive anywhere to get what you need. Just walk out the door with the stroller and you have the grocery store, coffee shop, and park right there in front of you.

I am so thankful we had the experience of city living and that I was able to enjoy Hoboken so much. I also got to know the city pretty well and look forward to going back to visit often. Although it is a bittersweet feeling knowing that this chapter in our lives is over I am very excited for Charlotte and all that it has to offer. We are ready for a house, a yard, and settling down. So although I am sad, I am very excited for what our future holds in NC!
