1. New York, New York

Upon arriving back home after visiting the Big Apple, it is difficult to summarize my experiences to those who inquire about the trip.  Hopefully this blog will help others gain insight to the many awesome/crazy/uncomfortable moments we have had in New York.

The basics:
Kevin has embarked on an amazing adventure which is to play lead guitar in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar on Broadway.  He is living in New York while I stay back home with the kids.

As his wife, it wasn't a difficult decision to support him on this career move.  I know a lot of people shake their heads at us living apart for this time but I know life is filled with regret for so many people and I am honoured to journey with Kev as he accomplishes so many great things.  He has always worked extremely hard for this family and for him to get to do something he loves is worth it.  It's not forever, after all.
I am thankful to be working from home for now which allows me and the kids the freedom to visit NY when we can, which so far has been twice.

My goal is to see the New York that so many people love.  To ride the subway without looking like a noob, to jaywalk while simultaneously resisting looking panicked while cars brush by, and to find  it completely normal to see cats in the bleach aisle of the corner store.
