The BIG news.

Haha, you guys make me laugh. Even after I said it was not a baby many of you still said baby. Although, I must admit the funniest was the comment that said it's the 21st century and I should tell my family via email! SO funny! Yeah, Sean's mom would have killed us if we did it via phone, let alone email.

So the BIG news. Sean was offered an amazing opportunity with Amazon and we’re moving to Pennsylvania.

Beware, I'm about to get dramatic. Just picture me hyperventilating while you read the following:

This means that I will no longer have only lived in NY my whole life. This means that I’ll be leaving a job that I’ve grown to love for the last 6 years. This means that our first home will soon be a memory. This means that we are going to have to decide on whether to sell or rent our home. This means that when I said that I don't need no new friends, no new friends, I was wrong. I'm going to have to make new friends. Boo.

OK, now that, that's out ... it also means that big, new and exciting things are bound to happen.

As much as I would love to stay put I have to put those selfish thoughts aside. And it’s not easy being able to see the big picture sometimes. There are not many times that opportunity comes blasting through the door and that is exactly how it feels.

It feels like opportunity did not just knock on the door but walked right on it without being asked to come in. Not only that but we do not have kids so it is the right timing. It’s not like we’re moving an entire family from NY. It’s just Sean and I with our dog and cat. And the worst that can happen is that we hate PA and move back.

It took about a week to actually feel like my heart was not about to burst through my chest. So I did what I had to do in order to wrap my mind around something.

I listed the pros and the cons. When the pros outnumber the cons and you still can’t see it, then you’re a fool. And well, momma ain’t raise no fool.

You can take the girl out of New York but you will never take the New Yorker out of the girl. I actually said that to Sean all serious (with a tear about to roll out of my eye) and he burst out laughing. I guess, that was a comical thing to say???

So guys, as much as it breaks my heart that I’ll no longer reside in NY, I got the one news that would change everything. I'll actually be closer to the city which only means more visits to see my family. Yes, you know it! As soon as I found out the exact location I googled the distance between it and the city. So in the end, Sean wins ... but so do I.

I'm not going to mention that I nearly cried when I realized that we would have to cancel our week long trip to Chicago in August. Or that Colleen sent me pictures of herself in tears due to our news. Yeah, she sent me pictures of herself in tears! How rude. Talking about rude, I'm not even going to mention that I didn't tell Sean congrats when he first told me he got the job. Wife of the year.
