All settled for as much as can be!

I got the keys to our new apartment on Thursday and from there the fun began. The first thing I did was unload the car... all. by. myself. so about 10 heavy boxes later I was done (that is just what came out with me... way more is coming out with josh). Once I was done unloading the car, I realized they had not cleaned the apartment and that it was truly disgusting. I began with the stove top since the burner grate thingys needed to soak. I filled the sink up with water, sprinkled some bartenders friend on them and started cleaning the rest of the stove top. The next thing I heard was... "drip...drip..drip.drip" it was getting faster and faster so I looked under the sink and it was flooded... the pipe was leaking.... At this point all I wanted to do was cry... I had to do it all by myself and my husband still wasn't going to be here for another week.

I called the landlord, but by the time he came out it decided it didn't want to leak anymore. He tried everything and no leak. I was so frustrated and told him I would call him if it did it again. After he left, I finished cleaning the apartment and then went to get some groceries. That was one heck of a trip all by myself. I decided to take the subway so I didn't have to pay to park and that was fine and all until the trip home... That was the longest quarter mile walk I have ever done. Who knew that all that stuff was so stinkin' heavy?

As the night progressed I got things organized and put away. I am as settled as I can be until Josh comes with the rest of our stuff this next weekend and I am so ready to start working tomorrow. I am hoping that this week will go by fast so he can be here already and so we can finally start our adventure together!!!!

Time's Square on New Year's Eve

So since we were both going to be in NYC over the new year, my mom and I decided to tough it out and watch the ball drop in Time's Square! It was so flippin' cold but we made it! We got down there at 3pm and ate dinner then hopped in line at about 5.

The amount of people that were down there was insane!

Move to NYC

So Josh and I decided that we would make the plunge and move out of our comfort zone... we decided there was no better place to move than to New York City!!!! I anxiously applied for positions all over the city and flew out twice (the first one didn't work). I finally got a job and we packed up the house. My mom so graciously flew up to Missouri and drove out with me. We left the day after Christmas and arrived 2 days later! Josh will be here next weekend and this next week will go by soooo slow. I start work on Monday the 7th and he starts the 14th!

I promise that I will keep this up this year! It is a goal for this year so I will try not to disappoint!
