Why I love New York

Get ready for a picture overload. This is more for me I think, and if you happen to be entertained along the way : ) Sweet rhino!
Columbia University, what brought me here... well and Dan : )
The Statue of Liberty
The happiest place on earth!
Times Square
The Cloisters in any season
The New York Public Library. I love me some books!
Walking the Brooklyn Bridge
Thanksgiving til New Years. No other place like it.
Broadway shows
Going to free TV show tapings
The Natural History Museum and the big-a whale there
Yankee's of course!
Central Park in Spring time. Absolute favorite time and place in NYC. Soooo green after the bareness of winter.
Alice's Teacup with girlfriends : )
Magnolia's Bakery! Get their Banana pudding, it's to die for and I don't like banana pudding.
The Met... museums in general
Live Jazz in little basement bars
And of course my Dapper Dan Man. He really makes all of the hard sucky parts of living in a crazy city so far from home okay, and sometimes he even makes it great : ) I sure do love him!

There's also the fact that I've had an amazing education, I've had the chance to work with people and populations in such a unique setting (that I definitely wouldn't have had in Utah and not even in California), and I'm working at a job which doesn't exist any where else right now, and that means big opportunities to learn and grow.

There are lots of good things about living here right now. I just need to stop and remember and enjoy them sometimes : )

Go remember what's good about where you live this weekend. It's good for ya!

I totally envy your NYC-ness not to sound unsatisfied in my marriage but Jaala never wants to live in NYC :). I think it would be a blast. Enjoy it while you can!
