So Long Greenwich Village, Hello Park Slope

My beloved Minetta Street apartment has proven itself unhabitable by us now that we are three (it was pushing it when just the two of us to be honest).





















































Tomorrow we sign the lease for an entire 1/2 floor (4th floor) of 157 Garfield in Park Slope - we figure it is roughly 1100 square feet which makes it bigger than our first house! It is two blocks from Prospect Park, one block from a GREAT school and close to every bit of goodness that The Slope has to offer. A couple crazy weeks ahead with the move and shedding the other TWO places we currently live. We signed the contracts to sell the house today. Craig and I seem to have crazy things happening all the time but we say "UNCLE!" Stop the ride we want OFF!! Though, it is just beginning to sink in that maybe we will be okay after all...
