mission: moving day!

good morning all! it has been yet another month in between my postings, but have no fear, big apple beth is sure to get back on track shortly. you see, this month i have been packing and getting ready for this very day...moving day. though i have been in denial, and on vacation, this day has finally arrived, and i am up and at 'em! packing the last of our things and sending them to our new apartment, which is on the upper west side of manhattan. it is a great neighborhood we with lots to do and see, plenty of running trails to explore, and no more riding the D train to get to work!!!!

i must confess, though, that i am sad to be leaving brooklyn. i love our dyker heights nabe, especially from halloween to easter when everyone decks out their house for all the holidays. christmas is the best here, and i will be coming back to visit the lights whenever i can.

i will also miss our wonderful neighbors that we have lived near these past three years. whoever moves in here next is going to be blessed and feel like part of special family. thanks meredith, especially, for the great person you are. we have loved living next to you, and you will be missed greatly (although we will get together in the city after work, so that makes me happy).

most of all, i will miss my first home i made with patrick. we have had wonderful memories of living in this apartment, filled with love, tears, and joy. it was a great first home for us, and i am sad to say goodbye to it.

but onward and upward we go...making new memories in our new place filled with new adventures and new missions for big apple beth!

so i am off to finish packing.
this is beth signing off.
mission: it has been great!
