How 2012 looks in my eyes

I can remember the 1st time the thought of New york popped into my head.

It was Junior High and someone asked me the question "If you could die anywhere where would it be?" I answered NYC and from that day on all i have thought about is NYC.  Life happened, kids happened, the real world barged in, but I have always wanted to live in NYC.

I can't explain why I have always had this pull to live on the East Coast, I just have this overwhelming need to be there. I have talked about it for years and years and each time my time frame gets longer and longer.  So in saying that its logical that no one believes I will really go.

This is how 2012 looks to me....whether anyone believes it or not.

Jan is CES...Let me inner geek come out to play!
Feb-Mar is pretty quiet.
Depending on strike April takes me to NY.
May I will still be in NY.
June at some point I will be back to enjoy my daughters 21st birthday.
July brings about yard sales & craig listing items.
Aug is going to be the going away party to end all parties and then I am off to the East Coast.
The rest of 2012 brings about excitement and fear of the unknown.  However its that fear that drive me forward into the unknown.

To all my friends and family who dont think I will go let alone make it, please just wish me well. You don't have to support my decision, but please support me.

I'm going to follow my dreams, how many of us go through life regretting that we didn't follow our hearts or our dreams?  I just don't want to be one of those people.

So please....wish me well.

10 Boxes

So I have decided that when I move next year all I am taking with me is 10 medium size boxes.


How do you fit 36 years of life in 10 boxes?


I look around my room and think, wow i want to take that, but then WOW do i need that?  It all has value to me but to now one else.


10 boxes...WOW!
