I left Austin for NYC 7 years ago. Here are 9 things I still miss about my old life, and 3 reminders of why I moved.
New York is known for being home to many celebrities, but I’ve seen several of my favorite musicians in Austin.

I left my 3-year-old at home for a weeklong cruise with my parents. It reminded me I’m still their daughter, too.
At our first dinner on Hurtigruten’s MS Trollfjord, my parents and I spent most of the meal imagining what my 3-year-old son would have thought. Aksel would have picked at the bread, asked how many courses of “real food” were left before dessert, and probably driven his Hot Wheels through the…
