On the Move...AGAIN!


It has been a while since I have updated our blog due to the fact that we moved last week. We didn't have the internet until today, so let me show you a little place!

Shown above is our bedroom. It has a bathroom connected to it and a walk-in closet. We are living the life! We wont live in this nice of a place for a long time, so we are really enjoying the posh life style. (NOTE: That bed is a double! That is right, after two years of enjoying the space of a king sized bed, Pat and I have downgraded to a double. Suprisingly it is doable.)



Our Kitchen/Living room.

This apartment is "furnished" meaning it comes with a kitchen table and beds. But that is okay because there are so many benefits to living here one major one being a MICROWAVE! (haha you can tell NY has really made us be grateful for the little things).



Little Story:
Our old apartment is only about a mile away from our current apartment. Not knowing how much a taxi would cost we decided to trek all our luggage across town. We stole (temporarily borrowed without permission) the bellman trolley thing and made our journey. It was a lot harder than we thought, pushing the trolley up and down hills, through parks, up and down stairs, until we finally arrived at our destination. With the heat and humidity of NYC Pat and I were both drenched.

When we arrived at our apartment our roommates were already there. They took a taxi from the same place we lived to our new place for SEVEN DOLLARS! We couldn't believe we did all that to save $7! Never having taken a taxi before we thought it would be a lot more.

Oh well. Now we have a good story to tell.



Our new place has a little balcony (very little). There is just enough room for one person to sit and enjoy the excitement of living in Harlem.


I caught Pat eating his breakfast out there one morning.


Roommates!

When Pat and I got married I thought that would be the end of roommates. Little did I know that we would be reliving college memories again by living with another couple. In order to save some money and live in a nice place we decided to split the rent with another couple, Nate and Meri (Meredith) Le.

It has been a blast. Nate and Meri are a really fun and funny couple and with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms its perfect. We really enjoy the company and having a couple to do something with all the time!

  3. Haha! I love this post! It made me laugh out loud. First of all, I really don't know how you can stand sleeping in a double bed. We only have a queen, but I want to die when we have to sleep in double beds. Second, I LOVED your taxi story... that is so funny and so terrible. And third, I think that your little balcony is hilarious! Your place looks so nice. Congratulations on moving up in the world!!
