New England or bust...


The quiet New England countryside of Massachusetts will be be a lot noisier soon. Our family will soon be relocating from Montreal and headed SE, where Craig has just recently accepted a new job. The back of our mini-van should have a bumper sticker that says, "crazy family of six on board with sleep deprived mother, is moving countries, in the winter, with newborn twins." Craig starts at the end of this month and we will head down with furniture and children at the end of February.
We've already spent the last two weekends madly trying to find somewhere to live. We haven't found the perfect place yet, but luckily have a few more weeks to get it right. I am doing my best to keep my blog going, but am updating facebook more often than the blog. I can email you my facebook name if you are a blogging friend and want to keep up! Just put your email in my comment section!

Oh you (mad but) lucky thing! Paul works for a company that's based in MA, and I've been pestering him for AGES to try and get re-located there. He says it'd be a possibility ONLY if certain people in the company structure retire in the next few years. Wouldn't that be so funny if we DID make it over there, and you were there too?!

Good luck finding a nice place. You might as well do this sort of thing while everything still so fraught. It'd be just as much a pain to be all settled and then drag yourself out of that comfort again. Go for it. And congrats to Craig on the new position!

((I'm not going back to Facebook - I'll keep tabs via your blog and Twitter))

That's exciting news! Will you be happy to be back in the U.S.?? At least postage wise right?

I always wanted to live in New England when I was a kid, but I have never even been there!

Melinda said...

That is so exciting you are moving to Mass! I hope the search goes well for the house and that you make it there still sane! Good luck!

Oh, I'm so envious! MA sounds like a wonderful place to live.

Ohhhh, New England in the Fall! You lucky thing you!

Good luck with the house hunt. I'm sure it will all fall into place soon.

What a wonderful place to be. I have friends who are from there and have heard so many good things about it. Beautiful and have heard there are no taxes on your purchases. That's a good thing to dream of when your taxes are 10%!

Lene said...

Well I don't envy the move, but New England sounds like a lovely place to live. And the pictures you will be able to take in the fall. Good luck in finding the perfect place to call home.

I'm sure you will be happy to be an ex-ex-patriot!

Nothing like moving in the winter with babies. Good luck. Don't forget to update your goodmail address with Jill!

I'm not on facebook, so I'll be eagerly checking for updates on the blog!

Oh Michelle, that is a lot on your plate! New England is what you've been dreaming of for awhile -it will be so worth it once you get there. I hope that you find just the home you're looking for soon! xo
