The new and improved pad!

Our bedroom is actually the largest of the rooms in our place, we have never had such a large room before, lots of storage thanks to my dad... he added lots of shelving in the deep windows... plus we have room to place both our large book shelves . I would like to say, welcome to our libaray/bedroom!

The view of our kitchen when Im standing in our living room shows how narrow the apartment really is. We love the tall ceilings and arch way, gives the place a bit of character. Cute, right?

Our living room is nice and cozy, we have a futon for a couch in case we have company. Jon and I were able to "squeeze" our computer desk in the corner, thanks for the shelves again dad, now we have a mini office!

The smallest room of the place is that white door... leading into the bathroom, which just fits the necessities (the shower is on the other side, sorry no photo) . All we have left to do is add a few hanging pictures and mirrors to jazz the place up. Hope you like it, we do!!!

a bit of everything...

The new year is here and so are a few random photos from the past few weeks. Jon and I are having trouble with our camera, so our we haven't been updating our entries as frequent. No worries, changes are in the works!!

For starters we are both doing very well in the new year. Jon hasn't slowed down at all at Allen and Delancey, things doing so well the restaurant will be staying open later starting in February. A late night menu will be in effect until 2am! As of right now the staff will be rotating to cover the shift, but eventually New staff members will be taking on the responsibility. Allen & Delancey has been getting rave reviews and is one of the top ten new restaurants in NYC! Hot spot for the stars also, Mary Kate Olsen is in the books for a private party soon!

I am also doing well at work, I now am the tourtant of the Pastry team. There are two Pastry chefs in charge, one covers the mornings and the other covers the evenings. I fill in for them on their days off. the entire staff is permanently either am or pm, except me. I have the crazy schedule, some days I'm in at 6am and others I'm working till 3am. My sleeping pattern is completely off, but I'm enjoying myself, and excited for the new responsibilities and challenges.

This is the pastry section of Eleven Madison Park, where I spend: nothing too exciting but, imagine 3-8 people in here during a normal day at EMP!

My family came down for a quick visit earlier this month and helped paint the entire apartment! Huge improvements, sometime this week I will post before and after photos, Jon and I just have a few more pieces of furniture to bring up from storage to make the place complete!

This is Bea, a very close friend of the families, she came to visit also. dropped into have a quick bit for dinner at one of our favorite noodle bars, located in Union Square "REPUBLIC".

WE miss you all very much, hope your holidays were lovely and keep in touch. I have misplaced my address book...Id love for you all to send me yours by email, Don't you miss my hand written letters? miss you, love you, come visit!!
