Boston, Here We Come

Last week was a culmination of a long career in design, loving being a Dad & Husband, plus the desire to always be moving forward. After some weeks of not being totally sure where our lives would be, I allowed Addy to click the send button on a very important email...

...thus solidifying our move from Upstate New York, of which I have spent my whole life, to Boston Massachusetts. What was this email, you ask? Well, it was my acceptance of a job offer as Creative Content Manager at Inkhouse PR. On our trip to Boston a couple of weeks ago I went on some job interviews at some great companies, and I decided to take the offer at Inkhouse, I was very impressed with the feel of the office and am very excited to be part of such a great team and see a great future and growth.

This is going to be a lot of work, and uprooting my family isn't something that I have taken lightly. I think that this is going to be the best move for all of us. I had some sleepless nights and at times was unsure of moving away from our family and friends. It's not such a long trip back, and I'm sure we will be making it often. I know I'm going to miss this place... the place where Addy was born 18 months ago, about 10 feet from where I sit right now.

We are on the hunt for a place and are hoping to be settled in for the start of June. I know this is going to be a pretty crazy month and a half getting ready, but I'm strangely looking forward to it. I would do anything for Rach and Addy, this decision is as much for them as it is for me. I feel so lucky to be able to have this.

Boston, we'll be seeing you soon...

Back Home, For Now

We are all back home safe and sound. The Boston trip was everything that we could have hoped for...

*A new Suit*

*Hanging with Friends Exploring*

*Addy checking out the Rabbit with Sierra*

*Beautiful Wife / Beautiful Baby at the Inn*

*The Sun behind us, Exploring JP*

I have to thank Craig, Lauren and Sierra for being a big reason that our trip was so much fun. The yet to be disclosed "business" of the trip is still in the stage of not being ready to be let out, but it ended up not being as stressful as I thought it would be. In the end I feel a great sense of accomplishment and excitement for the future, with whatever comes next. We'll probably be seeing you again soon Boston...

Along for the Ride in Boston

The drive out to Boston went by so fast. Addy slept almost the whole way, until the last rest stop on the Mass Pike. We had a quick rest stop...

...Changed Addy's diaper and let her break the shackles of the car seat before we were on our way again, Destination: Boston and our first face to face meet up with our internet buds Craig, Lauren and Sierra.

I've heard a lot about the sadistic nature of choosing to drive through Boston's winding and seemingly unplanned road structures, but it really didn't seem that bad even when we missed a turn (or two). The drive was also beautiful, I love history and architecture so it already felt just like home.

We pulled up out front of Craig and Lauren's place with an excitement in the air and an anticipation brought on by my daily ichat convos with Craig. The door opens, I commence to giving Craig a bro hug and Lauren and Sierra a hug like old friends. It was instantly comfortable. Strangely enough this was real life and I didn't have the desire to have my phone glued to my hand the whole time documenting and sharing, I just sat back for the ride and enjoyed the night. With that being said, Addy and Sierra got along great and we so cute (see instagram accounts), and I just had to capture this moment: Addy climbing in the rocking wooden car with Sierra and enjoying their own ride.

Boston: Day 1 and I'm already loving it.

See You Tomorrow Boston.

I got some exciting news last week that is leading Me, Addy and Rach on a last minute trip to Boston. As you can see by my face above... pretty stoked. Of course the news (to be revealed at a later date) is in itself exciting, but there is another part of this trip that I am really looking forward to. I am going to be meeting some internet buds in person for the first time. I've talked to Craig for years now, pretty much daily, but up to tomorrow I didn't have the ability to reach out and give him a bro hug... but that is about to change. Not to mention that his family is so rad, it's going to be a voltron like super family party. I know that Lauren and Rach are going to get along so well (I can't wait to meet her as well). But how about Addy meeting Sierra... I see BFF's in the making. I'm also hoping to meet up with Adriana and Michael for the icing on the cake... Boston... HERE WE COME.

I'm packing up my work station and bringing it along, there really isn't ever a break for that, Sites need to launch! It's going to be a fun trip, I'm hoping to share some photos soon.
