first week.

The view from my bedroom window.

It’s nearly been a week since I’ve been in NYC and today it finally hit me (during the most mundane activity) that I live here.  I’ve been patiently waiting for that moment to hit and when it did, I could not stop smiling.  For the past few months, I’ve been anxiously anticipating the big move, but for that one moment today, I felt overwhelmed with elation.  I’m so happy to be here and so lucky to have a few amazing friends that have taken me in during my first week.  I can’t wait to share all of my adventures with you, but for now, check out a few stunning views of NYC from my Instagram account.

My new jogging path along the East River.

busy body.

Summer is nice and all, but I’m still a busy body at heart.  I find myself waking up by 7 am (since when did I become a morning person?!), applying for jobs, and prepping for the big move to NYC.  My free time is quickly filled with blogging, reading, and running errands.  Lots of adventures to come, but check out what I’m up to in the meantime via Instagram.

A new lens for the DSLR — makes a world of a difference!

My new “grown up” bag goes up with me everywhere now.

Enjoying one of my last weekends in Tucson.

Fell in love with this polka dot jeans from Anthropologie.

great getaway.

Outdoor wedding attire (original post here).

There’s nothing like a weekend getaway to the great outdoors, especially when it might be the last opportunity I have to take in Mother Nature before I make the big move to NYC.  By no means was I roughin’ it (definitely a glamping kind of gal), but I did take the time to enjoy the change of scenery, beautiful weather, and a little trip to the local saloon.
