Happy Friday! Today marks one week from moving into my new apartment! I still have a lot to unpack; knick-knacks that I haven’t unwrapped, waiting for my console to arrive to put them on. I also have ordered new furniture like my desk, console, chair, etc and have to assembled everything this weekend. So my apartment is still filled with lots of boxes and is a mess, but I am happy.

Happy Friday!! IT’S MOVING DAY!! I am all packed up and ready for the next chapter in my life. It’s a little sad to leave my current home of 3 years, but boy am I ready for a new start! This is going to be my home until one of three things happen: 1) I move in with my boyfriend 2) I make even more money and can afford a much nicer place or 3) I leave New York. I am hoping 1 or 2 is the reason within the next year or two. Anyway, it’s better to enjoy my new chapter while it lasts!
Usually when you meet someone, whether a dating app or through mutual friends, the first date is typically meeting up for a drink to get to know one another. If you two hit it off, well then, as they say, the rest is history. Dates start to become the norm for you and your crush. New York City offers plenty of fun things to do together as a couple that isn’t your typical dinner date. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy going out on dinner dates– a girl’s gotta eat. However, New York offers so many fun things to do that date ideas are endless. From museums to Broadway Shows to free events in Central Park, dating in New York is easy to do… it’s finding someone to go on the date with you that is the hard part.

Happy Friday! Let the packing begin!! I am moving next Friday and I can NOT wait! As much as I am excited about this new chapter in my life, I am going to miss my daily routine in my current apartment. I love the coffee shop that is right next to my building, being very close to the subway (important for New Yorkers), and the people in my apartment building are the nicest. I am going to miss the one gentleman in his mid-50’s who is a community theatre actor and catching him in the hallway practicing his lines or singing a song. I am going to miss all of the cute dogs in my building that let me pet them every day. What I am not going to miss is how freaking warm my apartment gets; it could be snowing outside and I would be in shorts and a T-shirt with the AC on. I am definitely not going to miss the loud pipes clanging during the winter resulting in many sleepless nights. So as much as I will miss my time here, I know there are only better days ahead.
