I can hardly believe it, but its been one year since Lyle and I began our hunt for a community to call home. If you told me at the beginning of this exploration that we'd be closing on our family's first home tomorrow, I would have scoffed. I truly had no idea that the journey would lead us right back to where we started, New York City. I feel lucky and incredibly fortunate to be taking this next step with Lyle and I can't wait to move us, our cat Moosh and our future family's hopes and dreams out to the Rockaways!
The past year has been full of exciting moments:
At the end of the day Lyle called it, he told me jokingly to shut down the blog on the second weekend it was live. Belle Harbor was the very first neighborhood we toured. As we pulled away he said "exactly where we were is exactly where we want to be." He knew it before the journey even began.
Although it feels like part of the story is coming to an end, not to worry! Where'sMy.House will continue over the next year, committed to the same principles it was founded on of defining our own family's American Dream. We'll just now be reporting from the perspective of home-ownership! As always, we invite you to take part in the journey with us, crib any lessons learned and have fun along the way.
