The Traveling Kind

Where on Earth did the last three months EVEN GO!? I'll tell ya I have no clue. This has been a whirlwind of an assignment. There has not been a single day spent in the apartment the entire time. Living in these close quarters has definitely tested my sanity. I mean, the thing I look forward to most at the end of this assignment is a couch. Really, that's what I want most in life right now. I want to be able to recline on the couch and spend the entire day watching movies and playing on the internet. Or just have an spot at all to rest in our living space. Right now all we have is a chair (with no arms) and three very wobbly bar stools. Not much relaxing happens in those. Rant over. Honestly, it was best we didn't have a comfortable sized apartment, being forced to stay outside allowed us to get the most we possibly could out of our time here. Anyway. Instead of rambling on and on about every detail of the last three months I'll just post a few photos of our many ad...

Well, maybe not quite. Ha! In fact we're far from it. Ryan's adjusting well but I need a little bit more time I think. We left Texas a week ago today and made the 26ish hour trip in mostly 2 days. We only drove to Jersey on the second day so we didn't have to drive much on move in day and get there early as possible. On the way we hit up Graceland and had lunch at Rendezvous in Memphis, TN. We split the ribs, beans, coleslaw, and potato salad and I must say it was uh-mazing. The first day we made it through Texas, Arkansas, and ended up in Nashville, TN for the night. The second day we finished getting through TN, went through Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, a bit of Pennsylvania, and then finally made it to Jersey (and I can call it just "Jersey" since I'm a New Yorker now :)) Got our car all packed and we could see out of the back! WIN! Graceland! Got into bad weather on the way. The purple and white trees along the way were beautiful! A...

So naturally, instead actually applying for New York licensure I decided I should blog instead. Wait...what?!?! Yep! You heard (read?) me correctly! WE'RE HEADED TO NEW YORK CITY !!! Holy dang, I'm so excited and so nervous. Yeah, LA was big and all but it was so spread out and the little suburb we lived in kept it feeling small town, if that's even possible in LA. New York City, specifically Manhattan, is, like, a real city. Where people walk to get to places and shopping centers go up and not out. --OMG. Side note: I just realized that I'm going to get to see the Statue of Liberty!! WHAT?!-- We always talked about wanting to go to NYC but I guess I never thought we'd get there in reality. There are so many things on my to do list! I hope three months is enough time! Kelly and Michael, Times Square, Statue of Liberty, SNL, Jimmy Fallon, and the TODAY Show!! I won't technically know exactly where we'll be living until a week before we move in but ...
