We Are Moving To New York!

John interviewed for a Team Manager Position in Ballston Spa, New York with State Farm about 2 months ago. After hearing nothing for many weeks, John got a call on July 6th telling him he got the position! He starts October 3rd so we leave on Saturday for a house hunting trip for a week. We are very excited for this new opportunity for John's career and for the chance to live near family. Here is my list of pros and cons about this move.


Pros:



  • Live near Family

  • Promotion!!

  • Do Church Historical Stuff

  • Do US Historical Stuff

  • Visit NYC lots!

  • Visit Boston and other major East Coast cities!

Cons:



  • Snow

  • Lots of Snow

  • Leaving all our wonderful friends here in Austin

  • Leaving our subdivision with pools, tennis courts, new houses, awesome amenities (NY doesn't have these)

  • Leaving the weather

  • Houses cost more in New York

We have been spending lots of time looking for houses and our list of houses we like is pretty small. We know we will find the right one in the right location because we know this move is the right choice for our family. We look forward to making new memories and growing as a family in our new home. We are going to miss all our amazing friends who have been our family these past 4 years and hope to still have the chance to see them and continue our relationship with them. Austin, we love you and will miss you dearly.
