A few months ago Charlie accepted an assignment with KPMG at their corporate headquarters in Montvale, New Jersey. We were both excited for this opportunity because it meant a new adventure for the both of us. Neither of us have ever lived outside of Ohio, so we braced ourselves as much as possible for life on the East Coast. We put our condo on the market and started to pack up all of our things. The movers came on Wednesday June 9th and loaded our entire condo into a huge semi-truck. Charlie was working in Dallas that week, so I picked him up from the Columbus airport on Friday and we went over to the vacant condo one last time. It was sad leaving our first home but we are excited for our new adventure in Jersey. On Saturday, we put Griffey (the dog) in his travel crate and headed East for the 10 hour drive. We made lots of stops along the way to let Griffey out and walk around but we eventually made it to our hotel in New Jersey late Saturday evening. On Sunday, we went over to the house that we are renting and did some cleaning. The house is located in a cute little town called Ramsey, New Jersey and we found out that they have a farmers market every Sunday in the Summer. So we walked to the farmer's market with Griffey and explored the town. On Monday June 14, the movers arrived with all of our furniture. It took them all day to unload the semi-truck. After a long day, Charlie brought home some New York style pizza and a bottle of wine to celebrate our 2 year Wedding Anniversary and our first dinner in our new home. Luckily our DVD player was easy to find so we plugged that in and watched our Wedding DVD. Overall the move went really well and we are excited to start exploring the Garden State (New Jersey..in case you didn't know) and the Big Apple.
