It's Saturday night, and by this time next week, we'll be lying in our bed in Brooklyn thinking to ourselves, "Oh my god, we actually did it."The apartment is probably 90% packed, and there is a mountain of boxes where our dining room table used to be, currently being used as a cat fortress by Callie and Hobbes. Mr. Pickle has been taken away to car charity heaven, and our phone line's been cut off. But somehow, we still feel like reality has yet to set in.
These past couple weeks have been full many rendezvous with friends and family: Vegi-de-Mayo party at Jamie's; the Ellicott Mills Brewery with Zofie and John; Pirates 3 with Amie and Brian; China Buffet and Celebrity with Ben, Natalie, Dave and Joe; Meech's Going-Away Party at UMBC; Adam's Band Concert with the folks; party at Ikaros with the Jabes clan; Rocky Horror with Jamie and Todd; Dinner at Barb's...whew, that's a lot. It was great to see everyone and know that we'll be visited so much up at the Big City. Only $35 round-trip on the Chinatown bus, come on people!
We have had many conversations about what to expect in New York regarding our careers, our social life and our general day-to-day existence. We've been discussing it for months now and we still haven't settled on anything. The changes are too many and too great. And it's probably that uncertainty that most of our fears stem from. However, despite the vast array of unknowns that face us, one of the few things we truly believe is that New York City holds opportunities for a happier life than Ellicott City ever will. We may be nervous about this change, we're equally excited about it. Who knows what the future holds?
And so...in 7 days we go to Brooklyn, to our landlady Rosa (and her 5 cats), and to start our new life at 3 Spencer Place.
