Looks like I haven't posted in over a year. Been a little busy...
We moved into our new house in Ossining, NY at the end of June 2009. We spent the better part that yeas moving, unpacking, fixing, painting, furnishing, mowing, raking, decorating, and cleaning. It's a ton of work, but totally worth it. We love the town, our neighbors, and pretty much everything about it here, including the house itself. We also have a lot more room, which is a good thing because we had our second daughter on 4/13/2010. Kayla was 21 months old when her baby sister Zoe was born. Zoe is a wonderful baby and everyone's doing well.
The move has done wonders for me & my outlook on life in general. The people I now interact with most of the day are more relaxed, less competitive, and more open to new ideas. They seem to make fewer assumptions. I feel like I'm talking to thoughtful people most of the time, instead of just struggling to be polite to people who are stupid or insensitive. Don't get me wrong, there were awesome people in my old neighborhood and there are a few obnoxious people here, but the ratio is completely reversed and it makes life a lot more pleasant. I'm much happier about what Kayla & Zoe will grow up considering "normal behavior" in an environment like this.
