Welcome First Baby,
I made the reverse move that you did. We left Long Island for NC about a year and a half ago. We love NC. But I miss many things about the island.

Dotsie,
Glad you enjoyed the city but living in NY is way different than visiting there.

To be honest if it weren't so expensive I might consider going back, but what I'd really love is to be able to have homes in both places. That would be perfection!
