Receta Super Moist Polka Dot Cake with Nutella
Finally, we have completed the move. Although the decision to move was came as late as early August, yet we were able to plan things well to move within a month. Apart from the last minute anxiety - courtesy Hurricane Irene, things went pretty smooth & we landed in Cherry Hill area last day of August. And as anticipated it was now when this cycle of unpacking & resettling started. When you stay at a place for a few years you don't realize how comfortable you get with your interiors. It is only when you have to move & have to think'bout it again - you remember how difficult it was to settle down in first place. It has taken us almost a week, finally the home has taken shape & in a past few days we have been able to go around the town getting familiar with the surroundings. When we first came to Hoboken in late 2008, I never realized I would fall in love with a Town so much that it will break my heart leaving it. We have some really great memories of the place, Like - It was in Hoboken that our Son went to school for the first time, made his first school pals, I made my first friends in the US & it was our first home away from home.
OK, now I need to stop as I'm getting emotional & I've taken an instant decision that I'm gonna collate all my memories of Hoboken & make a neat little post pretty soon. So for now Adios Hoboken & Hola Cherry Hill...... here we come !!!!!
