MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone! Peace on earth and best wishes throughout the new year of 2010….

I know I’ve not updated my blogs for a while, probably for almost two months, and I still need to finish my next blog: Cinque Terre part 2. Some of you dropped me emails asking what I had been doing lately. Thanks for your attention. These past two months have been very hectic for me. A while after I got back to US, we received a good news: A got a job in New York City. Really? Yes, we’re moving to NYC! Yay! We are super happy about that. Living in New York City has always been one of my dreams, which now finally comes true. Then, we were pretty busy collecting information about apartments in NYC, and we started packing. It was not easy at all since my belly was already big and kept growing bigger and bigger. Oops, I should have shared another good news with you guys months ago. Yes, now I am pregnant with a baby GIRL and the due date is sometime in late January.

Soon after A accepted the NYC job offer, the moving process began and so did the busy, busy, busy time. In less than a month prior to the actual move, we had to find a new apartment, a new Ob/Gyn, a new hospital (to deliver the baby) and a moving company. Plus, we had to start packing and do many little things. It was stressful and a lot of work. But, finally we moved and we are in NYC now. Everything has almost settled down here. I just have a short to-do list: furnishing my current apartment and shopping for my baby needs. I have been postponing shopping for my baby until we move to NYC and settle down. With an after-Christmas sale still going on, now obviously is a very good timing for shopping, isn’t it?

So, how is life after moving to a big metropolis like NYC? So far, we enjoy it a lot. There are too many choices of restaurants and food stalls are ubiquitous at every corner of the streets. Various kinds of international food from around the world are available in the city. One negative aspect is, however, the uncooperating weather. A week before Christmas, a heavy snowstorm hit the Midwest and East Coast areas including NYC. This time of the year may not be best for us to move to a new place with a cold winter like New York City. The facts that I am being pregnant and the cold winter has just begun limit my exploration of this new big city. But, I am still very grateful that we start the new year of 2010 in a new great place, with A’s new job (which he likes so much) and a new member of our family. Many good things happen in the same time, and I am thankful for that. I hope all of you also have a very good start in 2010. Have a wonderful and prosperous new year!
