Well folks we are moving again, Michelle and I are both looking forward to the move, but it really bites to move so much. We have lived in 3 different apartments in the last 4 years and now we will be living in our 4th in 4 years.
One of the reasons we are moving is that Michelle’s commute is becoming a bit nuts, some nights it takes her 90 minutes to drive 12 miles from Quincy to Somerville. So, we are moving to Quincy on the South Shore of MA. Our new apartment will be about 1.5 miles away from her work which should make her commute so much nicer, I may have even convinced her to bike during the nice days of the year. In addition the place is just as close to the Red Line as we are now, it’s just on the opposite end so I will still be able to hop on the T during winter. The only thing I have not figured out yet is a great biking route, but I am still looking. Anyone who knows me knows that I can be a little too optimisticfor my own good and I am not ashamed to admit that I don’t like to look at the negatives.
Prepare for unadulterated optimism:
Our new place will be less than a half a mile walk to Wollaston Beach, not the nicest beach in the area and not always swimmable but it is still a beach with sand, sunrises, views of Boston and the sweet smell of the sea, I am so happy about the beach. With Michelle being so close to her work I think it will really increase her quality of life and all around happiness which is a huge plus. Quincy is close to many places that allow for outdoor entertainment like hiking in the Blue Hills, Biking, Canoeing, and Kayaking. There is this beautiful historic movie theater that is also walking distance that has not been open in many years that they are just starting a restoration project on, as in WE MIGHT LIVE WALKING DISTANCE TO A RESTORED HISTORIC MOVIE THEATRE. We will still be very close to the T at the Wollaston stop on the Red Line which can take us directly into the ciy whenever we like, including when I go to work. Quincy is also so much more inexpensive when compared to Somerville, the place we are renting for the price we are paying could not be found in the area we are currently living.
I could go on, but I will spare you, lets just say I am excited about our new apartment, I just wish the moving process was a little easier on the stress level.
