A Place To Live

I finally found a place to move. I cannot wait to get this over with. I am going to be moving in with a couple of girls that I found on the LDS Institute bulletin board. I am going to get the master bedroom and my own bathroom and everything I am so excited. Plus my new roommates are both older than I am so I am hoping that the drama will be much less. I will take pictures and post them when I get moved... the big day is planned for Nov. 15th.

Big Move

So Hollie and I are moving this week so things are a bit crazy, so I will just say that we are moving and I will post more later after things quiet down for us.

8 Obsessions

This one came from Jennifer.

1. My phone, I can't leave home without it. I keep it in my back pocket all day long, it however disappoints me a lot because the people I want to hear from are never the ones that call.

2. My work, I work like a crazy person. I cannot see myself ever finding another job that makes me as happy as this one does. I spend more time at work than I do sleeping or anything else for that matter.

3. Reading, I am always working on a novel of some kind. I carry it everywhere I go and read as much as I can without becoming a bump on a log. I read sometimes 3 or 4 books a week.

4. Traveling, I am always planning my next trip. I just got back from NYC and I am already planning a get away for May yes that far away but May it is, I cannot plan anything else closer because there are a few things still pending for those events.

5. My Hair, I am never happy with my hair. I cannot ever fix it the way that I want to look. When it is long I want it short and when it is short I want it long, I cannot find a color and cut that really just make me think, "that really fits me"

6. My family, I am always thinking about my family, it can be what is going on with them right now or what they have got coming up. Birthdays, Anniversaries, and all kinds of things like that, I try to keep all of my dates straight but the bigger the family gets the harder it is.

7. Movies, I am always keeping my eye on the newest movies coming out and planning what I want to go see and what can wait until it comes out on video. I buy the ones that I cannot live without and I rent the rest.

8. Greys Anatomy, I love this show, I watch every single week. I try to be home on the nights when it is on otherwise I watch it on the internet the next day or so. I have the first 4 seasons on DVD and cannot wait to see what is going to happen next.

My Dirty Secrets

Thanks for the Tag Kristen.

1. I am a workaholic, I spend 6 days a week at my job and don't think there is anything wrong with it. I love my job and love to make even one passengers day better.

2. I am lonely. I wish that I could find and eternal companion. I hate being alone, I miss being married and cannot wait until I find the person that will spend the eternities with me.

3. I am baby hungry. I know that usually comes with marriage but I got it now I think because all of my family members are having babies or just had babies. I want to be a mom more than anything.

4. I miss Idaho Falls. I say all the time that I would never move back there to the people here in boise that I love but I can see myself back there raising kids someday. I want to live close to my family so that my kids can have the relationships with their cousins that I did.

The Pictures Are Up

Ok folks, I am back in the mountain standard time zone and holy cow that was a long and exhausting flight. Here are a few pics of my trip.

Sad Day

So tomorrow ends my adventure to the big apple. I am very sad to be leaving this amazing place, although it is always nice to go home and sleep in a real bed..... I have sleeping on Nat's futon mattress since I got here, it is a comfortable bed but still not mine all the same.

I have decided that this may be my first trip to this great place but it is sure not my last. I am glad that I had the chance to make this trip on my own for the first time however. I am glad for the time that I had to spend with Natalie while Miles was in San Fran this week and I am glad for the little bit of time I have had with Miles. I am glad that I got to brave the city on my own for 2 days after Nat was around to show me the ropes when I first arrived.

This place holds so much history and culture I think it is impossible to take it all in. I was however able to get to most of the really good ones on the limited budget that I had. I will be back to spend more money and see more things up close, I am sorry that I didn't get to take the ferry to Ellis Island even though I was able to get some good pictures of it, or the ferry to Liberty Island to visit our Lady Liberty those are things that I will be back to do.

I saw a lot and I experienced a lot and for that I am grateful. I am so grateful for the family that I have here and for the generousness that they shared with me while I was on my visit. I am grateful for the cake at Max Brenners, the Lemon Bars at the Corner Bakery and the Hot Chocolate at City Bakery. Thanks Nat for showing me your favorite spots.

So goodbye to NYC for now but I will be back and you can count on it.

Finally Arrived

Well, I made it to NYC without a hitch in my plan which is always a great way to start a trip. I arrived yesterday afternoon and after a small panic attack at JFK waiting for my bag to come in I made my way to the AirTran to catch the train into the city to meet Natalie.

I made it all the way to her apartment without any trouble which was a little surprising to me to, I thought for sure that something was going to go wrong that I was going to miss my subway stop or get off on the wrong one. I made it though thanks to Natalie's very detailed directions and after she got home from work we went for some food and I saw my first glimpses of the city with my eyes wide open since honestly riding the train from the airport I tried really hard not to look at anything but the floor.

Today we walked through Central Park and went to Time Square and the Rockafeller Center took a few pictures and then took a nap.

Tomorrow is another day and we will see what it will bring. I will post pictures after I get back home I promise.
