Arrivederci, NYC

The view of NYC from my 'hood
For the past three years, I’ve lived in an amazing area of Hudson County, NJ. Alas, my time here has come to an end.
A variety of reasons has fueled the decision to pack it up and move, but the decision wasn’t an easy one. I’ve come to love my little town within a big city, and have truly made this little slice of New York my home. I’m leaving behind a lot of people whom I’ve grown very close to, people who’ve not only seen me through some of the toughest times of my life (including one memorable summer which brought the death of a family member, identity theft, a bad breakup and my ex’s subsequent decision to try his hand at a bit of stalking), but have also been right by my side through some very fun moments.
I’d rather not post publicly where I’m headed to (so if you’re a friend of family member, please don’t comment on it); that said, it’s going to be an interesting and exciting move. I’m looking forward to it, even as I’m a bit sad to see this chapter of my life come to a close. I’ll be back in NYC regularly, which I think is helping soothe my sadness.
That said, my posting has been rather light this week, as I’ve been dealing with utility issues, my current landlord and packing. My Internet is getting turned off tomorrow afternoon, but I hope to be back and posting like normal by Monday. As always, I have a LOT to say (including a couple posts on Gym Bag Essentials and Navigating The SPF Aisle).

Farewell Hudson County, NJ, it was great knowin’ ye…
