You have 30 seconds to Recap the last 4 Months....Go!

I refuse to apologize for sucking! I have been out of pocket, too overwhelmed with life to post, so there. However, I will now recap the last 4 months. Is everyone ready? This is going to fly by. Think of it as my life flashing in front of your eyes!

January:

I turned 30, but you guys already know that. Sam and I flew to New Orleans to visit family and ultimately drive to Destin, Florida for Sam to perform his first-ever wedding ceremony for our dear friends, Jennifer and James.

February:

You know, February was pretty boring. Nothing really to write about. Sam and I celebrated a romantic Valentine's Day where I was presented with a gorgeous frame.



On that same day, we had a horrible winter storm bringing along ice and snow. This would be the first opportunity to have to dig out the Red Rocket. Yoni turned 3 years old! And at the end of the month, Sam quit smoking!

March:

Sam turned 30. We spent a chocolate-filled weekend in Hershey, Pennsylvania.





Then mom came to visit and we drove to Washington, D.C. for Sarabeth's Bat Mitzvah. This was mom's first trip to D.C., so we did a ton of sightseeing. Unfortunately, while we were celebrating with family in D.C., across the country in L.A., Cousin Leon was dying from a years-long illness. We will miss him terribly.





In addition, Sam and I received a letter that our lease would not be renewed at the apartment thanks to the crazy anti-smoking lady upstairs. Now we had to find a new place to live.

April:

We moved to our new apartment in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. We found a great apartment with all of the modern conveniences that we could need. Our little family is spending the month moving out of the old apartment and into the new. Following two weeks of living in the new place, we heard from the landlord that another, larger, 2 story apartment would be available upstairs at the beginning of May, so we will be moving yet again.

With new beginnings also comes sadness. Jennifer got a dream job in North Carolina and she and James are leaving New York at the end of May. We moved to their neighborhood and now they're leaving us. I guess that means we'll have to vacation in North Carolina!

So, I know this isn't much, but it gives you an idea of what's been going on in our life. My project at work is really taking off. My nurse quit in February so I've been flying solo for 2 months now. My caseload has more than doubled since the beginning of the year and I'm exhausted from being a rock star. Hopefully life will get much better when our final move is complete.

Love to you all. Will try to do better in the future!
