Planning to Move to New York

Monday, end of June

    Well, I can't quite believe it but we seem to be moving to New York! As the week has gone by, we have both grown more and more positive about going. It seems like the right thing to do. I guess that's what prayer does, sometimes it changes us so we start to want different things. I certainly did NOT want to go a week ago, now I do.

    T still needs to find out some details from work, plus we want to do a quick visit to see the area. But it all seems to be falling into place. We will probably leave here next summer. I would prefer easter because now we have decided to go I think we'll feel very unsettled until we're actually there. Easter would still give us time to sort everything out. We'll see.

   The family are all away so we haven't been able to ask their advice. I am really worried about telling Mum, I know she will be upset.

    It seems really strange that we are going but it has come at a good time. I feel so ready for a change, at least for something extra to being with the children. I would really have preferred another baby but T is adamant that he doesn't want a fourth. I guess a new country will have to do instead!

    We got some library books to see what New York is like. Don't feel like I am any wiser. I hope we can visit there soon, see what it's really like. It will make it more real then. more definite. I think of it being full of yellow taxis, drugs and murders. Probably not a very balanced view…...
