re-nest: All Together Again!

Why?

After 14 years of LA, the things we didn't like about living here finally wore us down and we decided to move away. Our first choice was Portland, Oregon. After months of interviewing, neither of us could secure a job. We turned our sights to the next city on the list, New York. We lined up jobs and moved at the end of March 2008.

Apparently this was a bad idea. Things were not as they seemed and New York was not a good fit. We learned some good, hard lessons about life. We moved back to LA (four months later!) because the most important things were:

- be with our friends and close to our sisters

- advance our careers in a market we understand

- enjoy a low cost of living so we can save & travel

This is what makes us happy and apparently we had to move away to get our priorities straight. We still LOVE NEW YORK! We just enjoy it more as tourists...

All Together Again!

Today I spent the day with a group of Frenchie owners at a dog park in Queens - my first time there! It was called Rainey Park and there were 5 Frenchies and a really nice group of folks. We had a great spot right on the water, a clear crisp day, and played from about 1:30 - 4pm. I got home in time to meet X and little B as they got in at 6pm from their cross country drive! We got someone to help unload the car and then went straight to dinner. Everyone seems good but really wiped out. Well at least we can all sleep in tomorrow...
