Big Apple, big plans.

Remember how I said we were planning to move to New York right before we discovered Mr. Levi was on his way? Well, although I wouldn't admit it, I kind of gave of hope of ever fulfilling that little dream. I was secretly majorly bummed.

Buuuut, now there is a beacon of hope! My friend Raquel from New York told me about a job opportunity through the organization she works for, and I have been giving it some serious thought. I won't get into details just yet, but I figured I'd go ahead and apply and take it from there. Since I know Raquel, I have a huge advantage already, but who knows? Job openings are competitive these days. Obviously it would be a *big* move, and I've been weighing the pro's and con's like crazy. The position requires a two year commitment, so I feel like if I'm going to do anything like this, it's kind of a now-or-never type thing. I would probably never consider moving across country on a whim if Levi was in school, unless it meant a huge step up in terms of a career move or quality of life. Even then, I'm not sure I'd do it. So I feel like I have this very short window of time to do something like this while he is still young enough.


I'll give you the details if and when I hear back, but until then, all I'm asking is that you keep me in your prayers, 'cause I'm a little torn. This is something I want so much, but on the other hand it's not just about me anymore. I have a family now, and they come first.


I figure I'd give it a shot and apply, and when (or if ) I hear back, I'll take it from there! Ahhh New York City, I'd love to take a bite outta you!


Here are some pics from our trip to NYC last January...

Bedford Cheese Shop in Brookyln, whhhhaaaat! So much cheese, so little time.

One of our most memorable nights...discovering a great, obscure little bar on the Lower East Side
and walking home in the snow at 4 a.m.
