Moving stress

Wow, its been over a month since I've blogged. So you can imagine the stress that I've been under (well, I went away for almost three weeks, but after that it was just all-consuming anxiety for something that I still cannot understand).

I was in Europe for almost all of August and when I returned my husband and I (Spanish Guy) decided that it was time to move, so he and I spent almost everyday looking at apartments, in various neighborhoods throughout the Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn. When we finally narrowed it down to Manhattan and Brooklyn, we were torn about how much we wanted to spend. We are blessed to make more than we actually need, so we had to discuss how much we WANTED to spend on housing, that was tricky, because obviously the more we spent the better the apartment was, so it was tempting to spend a lot on rent, but in the end, after endless nights without sleep because of worry of making the wrong decision, we found a cute place, all new in Brooklyn.

And that is why I haven't blogged in over a month. Between all the internet searches, meeting with brokers, apartment visits, etc, I've had no time. I'm simplifying this a bit, it was super stressful and triggered something painful from deep within me. I still don't know what it is...
