living amoung loads...of laundry!

Laundry is so interesting when you wash with 20 other people! We live about 3 blocks from our Laundromat, which we take the car, because honestly its too freaking cold to drag it all. I think I may have to start doing it alone though, Jon has a hard time sitting still for long hours. Just some useless knowledge; our machines do not take quarters! its set up for you to buy a card which you can load money onto it from your ATM card. you then swipe the 'wash card' at the machine. crazy ;)

The city is turning seasons... Christmas is here already! The lights are up ands bright, the shoppers are here...asking how to get home ( which train do I take?). we actually had snowfall the other night!!! Cant wait to take some photos of white Christmas in the city. Also, an update: my parents are coming to visit us in January for a week, cant wait. family is so important, miss you all so much!

Jon and I got together with our good friend Phil! he introduced us to John, who is also in the industry. we all went out to eat, had some amazing Chinese food...IN CHINATOWN of course. I love all the different cultures and cuisines within this city...its a small world in here. Cant say it too often... COME VISIT!!!!

living the dream!

We are NYC people now. Jon and I are now working fultime in the city, and coming home to Brooklyn. So far so good. The hours are long, especially since the holidays are near. I have off Thanksgiving, but Jon is scheduled. I am going in to work with him and his staff for the night.

I want to be there with him, instead of home NOT eating turkey.

This past weekend we went back to Garrison for a good bye party for our good friend Ryan. He's on his way to Portland, Oregan. Its amazing how we are all going our seperate ways now. Nice to know that we have friends through out the country to go visit. which reminds me...

come visit us!!!!

enjoy the photos, more to come:

Stopping by Allen & Delancey to say hi to Jonathan

Ryan... we will miss you, safe travels!!!!!

And the race is on...

Our days in Garrison are coming to an end. Slowly we are both now in Brooklyn much more. Jon has started his job at Allen & Delancey, while I have been commuting to garrison on the weekends to work the weekends. Unfortunately I did not get the job with Martha Stewart Company, they decided to stay within the company, so therefore I' m out. But I will be working at Eleven Madison Park as a pastry cook. With both of us working in New York City Kitchens, Jon and I know time together will be short, sweet, and important.
Jon's day starts at 10 am in the kitchen, prepping food for that evenings guests, by 5:00 his day is only half over. By 6 he will be preparing and plating appetizers and entrees for an average of 80 guests each evening. Dinner service ends, and clean up begins for him late. By the time he returns home the time is anywhere from 1am till 2:30am.
I have a similar schedule, but not as early. My start time is noon. I have a bit more time on my hands to do the important things, domestic things, like laundry and house cleaning. I will let you know how my job is soon, this week I will begin.
Jon and I are very excited and cant wait to see how the city will be in full effect. keep in touch and make sure to take the time and look up our new employments when you can.

It's a small world after all!

Jon and I are finally moving to the city! Brooklyn, in Williamsburg area. The building is right next to an Italian Restaurant, 3 blocks from a park, 4 or 5 blocks from the Subway station. Nice area, old Italian men sitting on their stoop watching the action on the street! The apartment in the ground level, no stairs! The apartment is Small, but what isn't in the city? But its cozy and has a lot of character... check it out:

There's more, but I don't think you need to see the bathroom or closets:)
Come visit us, we will make room for you, a small paint job and some creativity and this place will be amazing!
