One Year in the Garden State

Saturday, April 14, 2007
Today marks one year that we have officially resided in the Garden State (our brief stay in the Jersey City Marriott certainly DOESN'T count).

Below are some highlights and accomplishments as residents of Jersey:
  • Matt is well-versed in communting by bus, train or car in NYC.
  • Chloe started pre-school and we participate in a weekly Mommy & Me class.
  • Shannon joined our local Newcomer's group and will serve on the Board for the next year.
  • Shannon transferred her membership to the local Junior League and will begin active status in the fall.
  • Matt got a new hobby car, his 1987 Porsche.
  • Matt's company continues to grow and build clients in NYC.
  • We only have to drive a short distance to find ourselves in Boston, Philadelphia, the shore, and NYC. (If you drive a long distance in Texas, you still find yourself in Texas.)
  • Have the heat on for 7 months out of the year instead of air conditioning (like Texas).



Of course, a lot more has happened since moving to Jersey, those are things just off the top of my head. I think our 1st year is well-documented on this blog.

Here's to the 2nd year in Jersey!

Holy Cow. I can't believe it has been a year already. It seems like only yesterday that I hauled 20 boxes of your clothes upstairs in your new house and nearly gave myself a hernia trying to help Matt pull up the carpet to reveal hardwood floors!
