It was a cold day. Scarfs. Hurried walks from the train. Coats. Closed toed shoes.
Where is the sunshine? Shorts? Grass between the toes? Soon, hopefully soon!

1st Day
Ok. I have officially been a NYC resident since the 23rd, have been sleeping in my apartment since the 1st. But today was my 1st day living in the city. Going to work. Evening activities. That sort of thing.
Mixed emotions. First. I love city living. I love the energy that people bring. But tonight my little feet are tired. I walked to my dance class and back, about 40 blocks each way. I need to get my city feet back. Second. Commuting. This morning it was pouring, so it took longer than it should. Considering my last place was a 10 min drive, Im going to loose some sleep. Cost of doing business, eh. Third. Im excited to be here. Doing this. Experiencing. Im ready to not look back, but look forward. Ready to find new things to love and new places to explore, and new friends to do all of that with.

Lets hear it for New York
In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
Theres nothing you can’t do,
Now you’re in New York,
These streets will make you feel brand new,
The lights will inspire you,
Lets hear it for New York, New York, New York
After living in Boston and falling head over heels for the city, I never thought that I could live in New York City. But Im going to do it. Dont worry, I wont be turning in my Red Sox hat anytime soon! For the last 6 months I have been living in Westchester County (20 miles North of the city) and heading into the city about 4-5 times a week. And with my current living situation changing, I had to find something else. I was in luck. Two fabulous girls were needing a third roommate, and I couldnt say no to the price of rent for my room. So I am now a NYC dweller. Feel free to come and visit!

Hawaii
It was a perfect winter getaway trip. Fabulous locale, Great company, Amazing weather, Lots of sun and sand.
6 Days on Oahu - We stayed at my cousin's timeshare house in Laie
5 Shave Ices (You read right. No D.)
4 Cars driving 13 people around the island
3 Walker Cousins
2 Midgley Cousins
1 Fabulous Vacation
Im not sure I could live in Hawaii. But I do love to visit. We didnt "do" much by some standards. But that was absolutely perfect for me, as I have previously "done" most things on Oahu. The only thing missing, and will probably be missing from more trips to come, is someone to really enjoy it with. Dont get me wrong, loved spending time with family and meeting new people. But how nice it could have been to enjoy a walk on the beach with some special. One day. One day.
Some Pictures for your viewing pleasure.
Stole someones Laie for a picture
The flower was too big for my hair.
Sharks Cove on the North Shore
A Sunday stroll behind the house
A sunrise from my balcony
With my cousin David and brother Jeff
PS. 1 week later and Im still sporting my fabulous tan. I will be oh so sad when it fades.

Hurricane in Westchester County
After spending some time with the family in Hartford, I left this face, to deal with:
Two weeks ago we got over a foot of snow. And now we are dealing with 4-6 inches of rain, and up to 75 mph winds. Lots of trees are down along with power lines. Its left 500,000 without power. Crazy. I say crazy! Why did I move to NY?! Its been worse weather than last year in Boston, and I thought that was bad.
