If you’ve seen Jack’s blog today, you already know our big news. We are leaving Erie. I am saddened to leave Erie, but excited by the prospect that moving to Rochester, NY brings. Erie has been our home for the bulk of our marriage and family life, which is why it is going to be so hard to leave. It’s the only home our kids have known, but they seem ok with our impending move, albeit a little apprehensive. I expected them to react much worse to the news, but there were only a few tears. I think it will help them to be involved with the packing process. And, I think they are intrigued by the idea of having their own rooms. Well, at least the twins are excited about not having to share a room with Alex. I can’t say that Alex is excited about having his own room. He wants to be with his bubbies. That will certainly take some getting used to for him.

So, in the interest of packing, I’m likely going to be neglecting my blog for quite some time. I’ll try to pop in at least a couple of times between now and then, especially when I need a break from packing. However, if I don’t find that I’m able to, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of my readers!

I’m excited for you all, but I’m bummed to see you go. Rochester’s a fun city with tons to do (and more snow!!), they have an amazing kids museum up there, including a miniature Wegmans kids can shop in. We had a blast until Evan decided to puke in the fake Wegmans. Whoops.

Aw man! I’m so bummed that you guys are leaving. I guess that’s why you were looking to recycle electronics!

Best of luck in Rochester, and I hope you and Brian both keep blogging! We’ll be interested to read of your further adventures!

I had heard that they have an awesome children’s museum up there. The boys are looking forward to that.

And, yes, that’s why I was looking for places to recycle electronics! The more we can purge, the less we have to move, lol. Don’t worry, I’ll still keep blogging. It’ll be fun to blog about our move and our new adventures in Rochester :)

Good luck with the move!

If you need boxes – I can grab them from work with no problem – just let me know!

Congratulations to Brian on the new job. In my brief experience (2 1/2 years in the 90’s), Rochester’s weather was less exciting than Erie’s. (Except for one very big ice storm.)

Where in Rochester will you be living?

Also, I hope you are not using U-Haul. (See one of my earliest blog posts about that.)

I’m glad everything worked out with Rochester! I guess we will see you guys at our wedding… that’s a long away off… good luck on the move :)

Kitten, thank you. That would be so wonderful!

Ray, I’m not sure yet where we’ll live. We’ve gotten some recommendations that the east side is the better area, with better schools, so I think that’s our focus right now.

I’ll have to check out your U-Haul post. We rnted a U-Haul truck to move from Indiana to ND, and from ND to here and haven’t had any problems thus far. It all comes down to who can give us the biggest truck at the best price :D

Jen, thanks so much! We’ll have to try to meetup sometime before the wedding ;)

I’ll grab what I can over the next couple days and let you know when I get them. I work in one of the school cafeterias here and when we moved in June my boss was great about letting me take whatever boxes I need. The larger ones I’ll need to break down a bit but they’re easily taped back together!

Thank you so much, Kitten! I really appreciate it!

Trisha,
Best wishes to you and your family on your move. We will miss your blogging here at the Erie Blogs. Congratulations also goes out to your husband for the big market jump. Who knows…the next stop just might be a large Network early morning show. Keep on chasing the dream because anything is possible in our country. My wife started out in Erie TV and is now a VP at Newscorp’s Fox TV Stations. We’ve lived in 3 major TV Markets in 12 years and are expecting one more and hopefully final move. As you know, moving is exhausting but you and your family are young enough to adapt and make it the adventure it really can be.

Thank you, James. I’ll try to still peruse the Erie blogs once we’re settled. We have loved living in Erie, and will miss everyone terribly! TV can be a rough business and make for a rough life, but I wouldn’t change a thing :)

It’s me again, LOL. I have boxes for you. You’ll have to let me know how to get them to you though!

Aw, we’ll miss your blog!

I loved Rochester for the 2 1/2 years we lived there. It’s a really nice area. It has a lot of the cultural friendliness of Erie, but with more “culture” and amenities. (Highland Park alone makes it a great place to live. And the shopping!) The east side is the nicer area, but there are many good areas in different parts of the city and suburbs. I don’t imagine it’s changed all that much in 15 years.

Awww, thank you!

We’ve been looking in the Brighton/Henrietta area, since we were told Brighton has the best schools. We’ve found a few interesting places that we’ll be checking out.

I always thought Brighton/Henrietta seemed quite nice. I don’t know anything about schools, as our children were very young while we were there (the second one was actually born four days before we moved to Erie), and we were planning to homeschool anyway, so we didn’t really look into that. We moved here before they started schooling anyway.

We were told the Brighton/Henrietta area had the best schools…top 100 in the country, in fact. That’s where we plan to live :)

Something to say?
