Big Life Changes
By Katie
Hi Nesties!
I have some sad news: Friday was my last day at The Nest.
The exciting part is that I'm off on a wild-Nestie-adventure of selling our home, buying a new home, and moving to a brand new city (Boston) with my husband who has accepted a job there.
Have any of you moved to a new city without a job? I have to tell you, as excited as I am, I'm also a bit terrified. What if I don't like it? How will I make friends? What if I can't find a job and I'm sitting at home all day with nothing to do and watching the clock for DH to come home?
But the very exciting part is that we are finally doing something that we have always talked about. See, my husband is from the Boston area. His mom lives on Cape Cod and his dad is in New Hampshire. My family is close to Boston too, and this is the city where we met (we went to Boston College) and where we have dreamed of settling down. So, after 7 years in New York City, we are finally doing it. And I have to tell you, the decision was hard. It's like we talked about it forever, but when the time came to make a change, we loved where we were. We have great friends in NYC, great jobs, and we've had a lot of fun here.
In the end, we decided to take the risk and go where our guts told us to go.
So I won't be paid to be on The Nest now, but I will always be a Nestie. I have really enjoyed this job and loved this Community environment. Thank you for making work so much fun. You will be in great hands here. Jeanine is fabulous and she will be running the show for a while. I know you'll be good to her.
Good luck to all of you.
Katie
Btw: My next "job" is selling our home FSBO and finding a new place to live at the same time. How do people do this? If you have any advice, please let me know!
