Wow, has it really been that long?

I haven't posted here sinch March but for a good reason, I promise!  At the end of March this year I got a knock on the door at 11 a.m.  When I answered the door I was face to face with the NYPD and representatives from various organizations including HHD and the Red Cross.  I was advised that our building was not structurally sound and that we had 7 hours to evacuate ourselves and the things we needed for day to day living after which they were padlocking the building and we would only be allowed in with escorts to pack up our things at a later date.

While we did get ourselves, our baby, and our animals packed up and out of the building on time we then immediately had to move in with my mother in law.  That was temporary so from there we went to stay with my husband's aunt in CT.  During this time I've been working with real estate agents to try and find us a new place to live and it has just been one nightmare after the other.  We are still in CT for the time being but soon we will be back in NY and I will have time to blog again, I promise!
