A Place To Call Home
It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for (all three of you, that is)... our big decision on where we are moving.
Drum roll please.
Emily and Nick will soon be residents of sunny Oakland, CA. “Oakland?” you ask. Yes, Oakland. But don’t worry, we aren’t planning to get shot. Despite it’s bad reputation, Oakland has lots to offer.
We knew we liked the Bay Area, and even bought diamonds there to prove it. And just about when we had almost decided that the East Bay would be our new home, Nick’s old company offered him a new position in Berkeley — and that was the golden ticket to the Wonka land.
We are excited to live in a place with better weather, some of our city necessities (like vegetarian restaurants and art), and a “green” culture that is second to none. Our first (temporary) apartment is 2 blocks from a Trader Joe’s, 3 blocks from a farmer’s market, and 4 blocks from a Whole Foods (not to mention lots of other non-food things to do).
So, come early January, we pack up all our boxes (again), and drive another 3,000 miles across the country. And when we get there, we hope that every single one of you that hosted or befriended us, or just followed along with our blog, comes out to visit us and stays on our couch.
See you in Oakland.

Let me be the first (of all 3) to congratulate you on your cross country landing and the new (old) job and the digs near Trader Joe’s. Yes to all!!! Fair warning: this person will be visiting you soon and I expect a very comfy couch. I’m also a good un-packer.
