Happy 1 year to us!

 

Today is my blog's birthday. It's been 366 lovely days of writing to share my adventure with all of you. Thanks for reading, thanks for commenting, thanks for giving me a way to remember this year.

I can't believe that 1 year ago, I had made the decision to move to New York. Sometimes it feels like an eternity ago, but other days I can't believe I have lived here for over 10 months.

I have a pretty fun job.

I have some awesome friends.

I have an interesting living situation.

I've met celebrities.

I have walked more in the last ten months then my entire 24 years before.

I have tried new foods.

I have stayed out too late for my own good.

I have seen crazy people on a subway.

I have laughed.

I have cried.

but I have stories for life.

I hope that this time next year we are talking about my second year of writing, because I love sharing my stories.

It's OK Thursdays!

 

It's OK....

to be excited for the season premiere of Mad Men.

that I am so excited because my friends are hosting a party which means food, drinks, costumes, and of course, Mad Men!

that I am relieved that I made it through my first Winter in New York, but sad that it never really felt like Winter.

to be angry that the heat is coming back in full force and I'm soooo not ready for it!

to not respond to some emails or text messages.

that I need a mental break and tonight, the couch and TV are calling my name :)

that I haven't worn anything but jeans to work this week...I can't be bothered to put on dress clothes anymore.

to learn new things about the Civil War everyday that I teach it to my students.

to be ridiculously excited about going home to Florida in April, but also worried about saving up enough money to actually be able to go out with friends and do what I want.

to not have St. Patricks Day plans yet...I will..I think.

that I purposely walked down a road I didn't need to because there was a film crew and I had hopes to catch a glimpse of someone famous. I didn't.

to be happy it's Thursday, thrilled tomorrow is Friday, and already doubting Monday.
