Our NYC Living Quarters

Welcome to our lovely abode located in NYC. Upon entry, you will find in this northwest wing an array of furniture from IKEA. Couch: $90, Chairs: $12, Table: $12, Rug: $40, Experience: Priceless

In this northeast wing, you will find what most visitors consider to be the highlight of the apartment: our loft bed. Only designed for one (a fact that we discovered after of putting the whole thing together), this full-size loft bed has been instrumental in allowing more space for storage in our 350-square foot apartment.

Here, in the southeast wing, you are looking at our kitchen. A fridge, an oven, a sink, four cabinets, and our favorite item: a dishwasher (something that is greatly coveted from others in the area).

This is our bathroom. Occasionally, we have some small creatures (called pigeons) visit while we are showering.

Brett is getting gray hair!

I guess it is a sign that Brett is almost 30! Last night we noticed that he has a few gray hairs! Maybe it is because he is studying so hard... or maybe it is me that is making him have gray hair! Either way - it's there! Maybe we should put in votes for at what age he will be completly gray. I am guessing 40!

Christmas in New York

Brett and I are are learning that the famous song about New York is true. " If you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere!" It is a tough city! However, it has transformed this holiday season. There are lights and giant Christmas trees everywhere. The other day, I was walking down 5th Avenue and it all just seemed surreal! I was walking right past the Rockefeller Christmas tree, there were Salvation Army people singing Christmas songs ( like Guys and Dolls!) and busy holdiay shoppers all around me. I felt like I was in a movie! Brett and I went back down to Rockefeller Center at night with some friends and it was even more beautiful... in a big city kind of way!
