A change of states

An opportunity has presented it's self for Shawn and I to move to New York. And we think we're going to take it. A few weeks ago Sony Studios closed and Shawn's managers have been working with some people to open a new studio in Manhattan. His managers want Shawn and his partner to be apart of the whole thing and have offered them positions at the new studio. So about a week ago we talked about it and decided that we would move back to NY in November of 08. But something clicked early this week where we were like "Why not go now?" Our lease is up on our apartment in November, we had already started looking at our other options here and we found one we LOVE a 3 bedroom apartment style home (that's what the website calls them, I guess because they have garages and look like houses) Anyhow, we were planning on moving there in November and then when our lease was up there we were going to move to New York. But for some reason now it just seems like it would work if we go now. Shawn has contacted his managers (3 in all) and some studios and they are in talks now to iron details out. One of his managers wife is an executive at Google, so her and her husband (Shawn's manager) are going to help me find a job up there. We already started looking at apartments there, and I was shocked to see not how expensive they are but how SMALL! But that's the price to live there I guess. As of now nothing is completely set in stone and as long as things continue to go the way they are I'll get to be a New Yorker!
