Wow! What a summer! Lots of Adventures and Changes.
We enjoyed the Spring and Summer in and outside of the city. We did some serious traveling outside the city this season. We went to China in April, did some camping in Lancaster, and NJ this summer, went to Atlantic city, New Hope, went to a Rodeo, and spent some quality time down the shore. In China we toured Beijing, Shanghai and a couple of beautiful small villages. What an amazing trip and experience we had!
We continue to enjoy the city by going to our favorite restaurants, outdoor events and festivals, picnics and BBQs. I have been doing a lot of walking and some yoga outdoors. I have rediscovered the Delaware River this past season and have spent a lot of time there. A beautiful area to spend time by the water. Some highlights of the activities we attended in the city this past season include going to see comedian Gabriel Iglesias live, going to hear Jordan's mentor Alexa sing at Milkboys, going to North Shore swimming pool club in Northern Liberties, attending Comic Con and J1-Con with Jordan dressed as an Anime character, did a fun Escape Room activity, and attended the Stevie Wonder pop up concert.
Jordan did a significant amount of singing with School of Rock this past season. Jordan sang at The Rittenhouse festival, The South Street Festival, and the season Rap concert and 70s theme concert. He can rap...lol. He finished his junior year well and just started his senior year. I can't believe we are looking into colleges now. I am so proud of him. He has turned out to be a great person. My baby boy is not a baby anymore.....
My mom and dad are doing well. They are both getting older, with some health issues, but happy they are still fairly independent and healthy. I am blessed they are still here and I am cherishing the moments we still have together.
Some major changes occurred in my life this summer. My love relationship ended after a few years together (give or take a couple off months) and my job with the city ended as well. Both big changes, but both a very welcome change in my life. I was going in the wrong direction both in love and in work. I was not happy. It was time to better match myself with the right love and the right job. Unfortunately, we sometimes wait too long to make the needed changes to improve our lives. However, now I am on the right track again. I have healthy love and work in my life again. The future looks brighter than ever!
These changes have also brought about some thoughts about moving. Our time in the city has been grand. However, we are changing and the city doesn't seem as attractive and exciting as it used to 4 years ago. So, we are considering a move. We still have a year on our lease, since we signed a 2-year lease. However, we are making plans to getting back to a simpler life. Once that happens, this will no longer be the "Life in the City" blog. We will keep you updated on where and when we are moving. New life adventures in a new place are in the works. In the meantime, our travels and city adventures will continue, and we will continue to share them with you.
We have some exciting travel adventures coming; a trip to Puerto Rico in October, and a trip to Eastern Europe (Hungary, Czech Republic) in March, we are also visiting friends in Aspen and Chicago.
Looking forward to our travels and the fall and winter season in the city.
