Saying Goodbye

I'm sure that you guys are getting tired of my woeful, sad, laments about leaving NYC, but this is hard...and emotional. I thought it would be easy but the reality of the situation is hitting me like a ton of bricks. It's also hitting me pretty hard that we're not done packing, our apartment looks like a tornado blew through, we don't have someone lined up to take our apartment and I still have one more week of work.

Sam and I were able to have yet another "stay-cation" at the landlord's apartment in Manhattan so that we could properly say goodbye to the city. We invited our closest friends for a NYC-Ya Later(!) going away party. Although the turnout was small, the love was huge! We felt incredibly special and were very emotional at the thought of leaving our friends behind. We reminisced about the last four years, told stories of when we met and shared our fondest memories. As much as I would love to go into all of the major details of our last four years, I thought that I would share our memories in pictures. I've decided that we should take some of our favorite pictures of NYC, convert them to black and white, enlarge them and hang them in our house to remind us of the life we led in NYC. For your enjoyment, these are our top thirteen. Just so we know that you're out there reading, please comment as to your favorite four pictures (by number!). Thank you my loyal readers. I promise that future blogs will chronicle our adventure from Brooklyn to Austin.
