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.
