My Sussex County Week 1

 

MY SUSSEX COUNTY

 

WEEK 1

 

 

 

This morning as Jeff and I were driving I thought of how I haven't Blogged in forever.

I love to express myself but I don't want to be one of those that post about everything.

So in the early hours of the morning I realized the one thing I like to share is where I live.

Each week I'll pick my favorite photo or photo's from around Sussex County.

 

Now a little back ground to My Sussex County.

As most of you know I was raised just outside of NYC in Bergen County NJ.

I spent many weekends away in Sullivan County NY.

I love and will always love both of those counties but those are my younger memories.

Sussex County became my home almost 5 years ago while still dating Jeff.

 

I always wanted to combine my two childhood counties and I believe Sussex is that.

I know Sussex and Bergen are completely opposites but I can find small likenesses.

First I grew up the small town of Rutherford with a great down town, small schools, and a great view of the city sky line. (there is only one city and that's NYC)

Sussex County has great small towns with cute down towns, and great views of mountains, farms, and valley's. (Go with me on this please)

Second Bergen county has amazing historic homes, great small restaurants, and a zoo.

Sussex county is full of historic homes, amazing restaurants, and a zoo!

Finally Bergen county feels like home and so does Sussex County.

 

Sullivan County is truly out in the middle of nowhere.

Sussex County is only one county away!

Sullivan county has plenty of wildlife, woods, and water.

Sussex county has never ending state and federal lands, abundant wildlife, and water everywhere.

 

These are the things that I wanted in a place to live.

I wanted to escape the crowds and traffic of Bergen County.

Yet Jeff wasn't ready to leave New Jersey.

So we settled up here in the Skylands of New Jersey.

A county that has more then double the land of Bergen County but less the a quarter the people.

 

So now I will introduce you to My Sussex County.

This is my point of view and the things that stand out to me.
