That's very exciting stuff. I'm sure it's going to open up a ton of opportunities. So, roughly how far are you away from Central Park? How about the Hudson? Just trying to picture roughly where you'll be. Congratulations on the big decision, Mary! That’s very exciting stuff. I’m sure it’s going to open up a ton of opportunities.

(House-swap, I mean.) No wonder you're able to take off so soon. Take care, whatever it is you are doing. Looking forward to seeing you - K. What a good idea! (House-swap, I mean.) No wonder you’re able to take off so soon.

Take care, whatever it is you are doing. Looking forward to seeing you –

Let me get through the next week and I'll have enough brain for social time. We're doing a houseswap with a family in NYC, so they'll come here for two years and we'll take their apartment. It may go longer than that, but two years is the minimum. Neat, huh? They are really nice and I feel great about having them in our house. We’ll have a big shin-dig before we go, don’t worry.

You already have an amazing blog, but it should be even more interesting to watch your adventures now. I would still like to see you sometime before you go, although I know you're quite busy. Perhaps if you could use some help organizing or packing or whatnot, I could help. Just out of curiosity, what kind of plans do you have for your house? Is it the same one we visited?

That would keep my needed plot point, but might tone down the winter aspect enough.) Raleigh. So, smack dab in the middle of the state, but I went to college in Greenville.

Good luck with the move, and with the career opportunities you're moving for. Too bad we left NYC a few months ago. But hey, if you ever move to NC, we'd love to have you drop by! (By the way, I completely do not understand moving somewhere even partly out of a desire to experience winter. I'm afraid my suspension of disbelief was strained by that section, possibly even sprained. I would suggest developing a more believable motive for your characters.) Wow.

Winter doesn't seem to be happening here in New York at the moment either, which suits me (I'm no fan of winter), though it is more than a touch disturbing. Completely understand about the car thing though :) Good luck with the move!
