...because I'm kind of scared of bridges.
But, here we are, moving to Staten Island in a few weeks!
In a kind of whirlwind weekend we talked about moving, looked at an apartment, and decided to move. Our current apartment lease is almost up, and we thought that if we found something better - shorter commute, bigger, closer to a park, cheaper, etc. - we would think about moving. Well, this place had everything we wanted, plus more. We couldn't pass it up!
We feel like it was meant to be, since it kind of just fell into our laps. It is a beautiful, newly renovated home with a yard and a driveway! Staten Island is a lot more residential and suburban than the other boroughs, which (I have come to discover in the last year) is a lot more in my comfort zone. Boy do I miss driveways and parking lots.
We are very sad to leave our ward. We are kind of sad to leave our apartment. We are maybe a teensy bit sad to leave Brooklyn. It has been an interesting year, and we have really enjoyed our time here. But I think Staten Island might suit us better, and I'm excited to start fresh with a new home, new baby, and new school year.
P.S. The Verrazano Bridge is obviously not a rickety-old bridge that will fall into the water anytime soon. That makes me feel better. :) And, I know Brooklyn is technically on an island, too, but somehow it seems different.

Way cool, Cat! I went to Staten Island once, and it was beautiful. I went to some gardens (I can't remember what they were called), but they were fabulous. I think a yard and a driveway will be perfect for your family!
That is awesome! The home looks beautiful! I am so happy for you guys! So will Joseph drive to school or take the ferry?
Looks really nice! Looks like there
s a little yard or something too, which would be really nice. Can't beat cheaper & bigger! Good luck with the move.
That's wonderful! What a blessing!
Wow thats exciting! It looks like a really nice place!
How fun to live on Staten Island. It will be a fun new adventure.
Wow, that is awesome. Your new home looks great!!!
I too am scared of bridges. It makes it hard to go anywhere in Portland because there so many. Your new place looks so awesome. I hope the move go smoothly for you and your family.
Whoa, what an awesome house! Good find! It sounds like you guys will really like it there!
Your new home looks absolutely beautiful, and I think you are right, you will be happier there. You have been a trooper this past year, and deserve to live in your comfort zone for sure!! Good luck with all the moving, what a whirlwind! I can understand the feelings and emotions you must be having, but you are so strong, and I know you will make your new house a loving home. Good Luck!
It will be so nice to get out of the city life. We are kinda jealous. I am so happy for you guys. It looks sososo beautiful.
Cat, I'm so glad that worked out for you guys. Good luck with the move!
The home looks so nice. I'm with you that more suburban is more in my comfort zone.
Congrats! Your new place looks so cute- I really want to come out there sometime and see it!
