Life in New York

Saturday, May 30, 2009

Life in New York is very, very different. Besides the crazy driving, toll roads, and incessant honking, everything goes up. The buildings are taller and there really aren't any parking lots, just parking ramps. For example, the Walmart is 2 levels of a 6 story building. The first 3 levels are parking. Luckily, you don't have to pay to park there - as long as you have a receipt proving a purchase of at least $5. (for those who just have to know, the remaining level is a Burlington coat Factory.) The price of everything has also gone up, but that was to be expected. Time to travel anywhere is also increased - again to be expected.

With our transistion time coming to a close, and a real New York life about to begin, my anxiety levels are finally starting to settle. My plan in to hit the ground running at my new job and show the East coast just what they are all missing in the midwest. Miles will start his new 'academy' style daycare - my hope is that he will show all of those stuffy, rich kids how to play and have a little fun. Nate plans to absorb every ounce of information he can come across. He knows this is an opportunity of a lifetime and he doesn't want to miss a thing.

We are doing good for now... Don't worry about us! We miss family, friends, and coworkers lots... Knowing that we will be home soon to visit is what keeps me (us) going. Miss you all and love you lots!!!
