I lived in Seattle for over 5 years and for financial reasons we moved to Pennsylvania. I love, love, love Seattle. I miss it every day. It has taken me 14 months to come to terms with the fact that I am going to raise my kids here and everything is going to be okay. I know I sound like a 'baby', but I had to change my expectations and that was very difficult for me.
There are so many positives to living here in Pennsylvania and once I started to focus on those life has become so much easier. We can afford a house here, the kids can play outside most every day. We are closer to my sister's family. Plus, I met an amazing friend, Kelly who I think I was destined to meet because we are the best of friends! We are close to NYC, DC, Boston and so many East Coast cities. Granted I don't have my Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and cheap wine to choose or and Ikea, but I think I can give those up to watch my kids swing from their tree in their backyard!
