The move

Stayed up until 3am with dear friends in Connecticut then rose at 6am to get to church in New Jersey on time. There, we found that 10 men planned to help move us from Staten Island to our new apt in NJ! And they did it in 4 hours flat and in only one trip of trucks, SUVs and trailer. What a blessing!
Funny- most ppl switch from a 1-br apt to a 2-br house after they get pregnant. But we are doing it the other way around. Our apt complex is so homy and cozy- a community of brick buildings with red doors and black shutters surrounded by squirrel-populated trees and "the green grass grows all around and around." The unit is newly renovated, which, aside from being pleasant, will require less scrubbing when I go into nesting mode. Plus the place is walking distance to church, friends' homes, and local businesses (including Barnes and Noble Oh yes). We are so excited!
