We are moving to Manhattan


In three weeks, Melissa and I are moving to Manhattan. Melissa has accepted a position at a hedge fund in Greenwhich, Connecticut. I will work in Morristown, New Jersey.

This has all happened so suddenly. Melissa was applying for new jobs in the NYC area on Craigslist, and low-and-behold, a hedge fund in Greenwhich had posted a listing that was perfect for Melissa. We drove to the city last week so Melissa could interview with the firm, and today they made Melissa a formal offer.

The locations of our respective offices dictate that Manhattan is the easiest place for us to live. Fortunately for us, the economy has driven down rent prices, so we will be able to afford more apartment than had we moved there any time in the last seven years.

Over the next three weeks we hope to finalize our search for an apartment near Grand Central Station, and move-in by Thanksgiving.

I can't believe this is happening.
