move to boston

We’re moving out of our apartment and downsizing. Although I’m a bit sad, I’m happy that in 1 1/2 years or so we will be able to live in Boston (not to mention, our debts will be completely paid off!).

Hi, I am currently living in Asia and I am planning to broaden my horizons by moving to Boston. I’ve always loved and wanted to move there since I was a child. I am currently working in the food industry. How do I move to Boston? Can anyone tell me the steps… especially if you are living in Asia… Thank you…

I got accepted to the school a few months ago! I visited the city this past week and I had a blast. Can’t wait to move in a couple months!

That is my goal for moving day. Move in 7 months. I’ve lived in Eureka, CA my whole life. I still have some friends here, but to be honest I feel I have no real ties to this town. I’m applying to the Art Institute in Boston and whether I get accepted or not I am still going to move there. It’s all I want and think about. I know it’ll be a struggle since I am a poor college student, but it isn’t impossible and I am NOT going to let that stop me! Sayonara dull Eureka-town… Hello East Coast wonderfulness!

Got the bulk of everything moved into the awesomely beautiful and light-drenched apartment (with a front porch for container gardening) on saturday, now just have to pick up the odds and ends and the cats, and make the final trip back up either tomorrow or Tuesday morning, and then I will OFFICIALLY be LIVING IN BOSTON! Hooray! I feel like a ton of bricks are off my shoulders. Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

For some years now I’ve wanted to move to Boston, nothing permanent though. I just love when cities have such history and culture/arts. I would like to spend a few weeks or months getting to know the area and the people.

I had an interview last night for a Nanny position in Boston. I cannot believe how close I am getting to achieving this goal. I may be there by January. :)

I have loved this city for almost 10 years. I just feel like I need to be there…I have no idea why, It is just calling me right now. I am doing a lot of research and hope to visit by st. pat’s, if not sooner.

It’s a shame, but we’re putting off the move for another year. The most ridiculous chain of events came together to completely deplete my savings and force me to stay here a bit longer. I’ve started a new job, moved into a new apartment with a year-long lease, and have decided to use this year to plan and save for the move with a little more organization.

And so, with new resolve to do it right this time, I begin my journey again. Savings plan in place, goals set with deadlines, and plenty of time to get rid of everything I don’t need to take with me, I’m trying not to crack under the stress of not having reached my goal. I’m trying to remind myself that a year is not that long, and that it’s probably for the best, that I’ll be more prepared this time, and with a better chance of making it.

I’m Boston-bound by next August. Wish me luck.

Fully a year after we originally planned our big move, I’m here in town with a job and an apartment and while the paint is a drab beige and it’s not my hardwood dream house, it’ll do for now. :) I start work on Monday and in the meantime, I’m doing all of the unpacking I possibly can…quite sore and a little worse for wear, but I’m actually a Boston resident now. How amazing is that?

I’ll be able to say a little later if it was all worth it, but I can’t imagine it wasn’t. Every bout of self-neglect or -sabotage, or simple laziness and then guilt was useless, certainly, but also somehow strangely led to this moment, this one overwhelmed by stop-gap enthusiasm and just the tiniest bit of fear or performance anxiety.

It’s all a little mad, but it’s also a little perfect.
