My original intent of this blog was to write about my life and dedicate entries to comparing the midwest to the East Coast. So, I'm gonna start doing that ;)
We arrived in New Jersey on July 15, 2011. Which means, we've now been living here 3 months. It's been an interesting transition. We both still feel like the new kids in class. We aren't sure how certain things work and I'm almost certain my midwest "twang" comes out every now and again. Oh well.
I'm now in grad school full time. I'm lucky to have a supportive husband who is able to support me financially, emotionally, in every way possible, while I get my master's degree. Financially, things haven't been easy for us, but the struggle we're going through now will eventually end. And my obtaining my master's will benefit future us. :)
In general, I like New Jersey. But, I miss the hell out of Kansas City. Sean and I talked a lot about moving here and decided to do this together. Once we made the decision, we had several conversations where we didn't think we would miss KC. But, I do. And I think it's mainly the people I miss. If I had my friends & family here, I would probably not think twice about KC.
We were married on June 25th. Once I tell people that, they give me a look. And then proceed to tell me we were crazy for taking on all that change at once. But it's been good. Married life is great. I can't imagine being married to anyone else and experiencing this journey with anyone else. <3
