I woke up on Thursday after traveling home on Wednesday night to this sweet face:
I invaded her personal space for pretty much the remainder of the day…
I did take a break to smother another sweet face at lunch:
It’s so good to be home.

My former flatmate from Londy came to visit for the weekend! I introduced him to NYC by forcing him to come to my workmate’s birthday party (he had fun). HBD, LM.
The next day we ventured all over the city. Through Central Park and to the Upper West Cathedral of Saint John the Divine. (we saw it on the way to Tom’s Restaurant from Seinfield and stopped in). It was really big and beautiful!
We stopped in for a bite at my favorite NYC Mexican restaurant, El Centro. YUM.Â
If you’re ever in the area, get yourself an order of chicken chilaquiles.Â
We continued our tour on the lower east side – via the Staten Island Ferry. The coast guard armed entourage was a little spooky – but, hey lady lib!
On Sunday we visited the Brooklyn Bridge:
chip, chip!

And it was on this day in 2013 that I finished my last class as a student at the University of Utah.
I handled it with grace:
Okay, so I was a complete basket case. WHAT ELSE IS NEW? But really. I have been thinking back on what I was feeling this very day last year, mostly thoughts and anxiety of the unknown. I didn’t have any job prospects – or a clear view on what I really wanted.
I think of myself now and how much I have learned this past year since moving to NYC and working. It’s SO much! I am really grateful to be where I am and getting the opportunity to continually learn new things, push myself farther, and have a somewhat less foggy view on what I really want.
I LOVE YOU,
B
