The Good and The Bad

I love hosting people!  In fact, this weekend we are having a "Last Bash" party at our home.  It's kind of a way to get all of our friends and family together for one last time before we hit the road to NJ.  I am sad but excited at the same time for the journey to the Garden State.  Here are my pros and cons to moving:

PROS:
  • an hour from NYC--I have feeling NYC and myself are going to be great friends!
  • an half hour from the Jersey Shore--watch out Snookie..another guidette is heading your way!
  •  an hour from Philladelphia--history, cheese steaks, and Rocky Balboa..what more can you ask for
  • bountiful museums, parks, the ocean, and more to do, unlike Ohio
  • near casinos--this will be listed in the cons as well :)
CONS
  • moving away from friends and family
  • my daughters not being able to hang out with their cousin and future cousins
  • leaving the home I loved from day one
  • not having someone to hang out with on a whim
  • moving into a state with gambling--this is more for Luke than myself..I have self control!
  • no more hosting parties or holidays
I think we are going to like our new home, but it is sad moving away.  The good thing is is that it is a short drive back, short depending on who you talk to you.  It's only about 7.5 hours from NJ to OH, so not too bad.  I will miss not being able to just have everyone over on a whim.  Our home always seemed to be the gathering place for our family. I guess we will just have to make friends in our new home state!
Goodbye Ohio
Hello New Jersey
