I wrote this post last week, and I was waiting to post it because I have pictures to go with it, but unfortunately something is wrong with the way I upload my pics....so here it is without pictures.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Time flies!! It's hard to believe we have been here a month now, time is flying! Last week was another warm week, until Friday. During the week, we did the usual. By usual I mean David went to work, and I took care of things on the homefront;) I went out with the realtor to look at apartments, and because Hoboken is so small, there isn't a lot of choice. I am looking forward to having an apartment and having my stuff back. As much as I enjoy the "hotel" feel, the novelty is quickly wearing off. One day as I was walking back to our apartment, I saw people filming Law & Order SVU.
We had a nice weekend. Friday night we went to a mexican restuarant right near our apartment. Even though we had to wait about 30 minutes (and 2 drinks cost me $20!!!!! - good thing my margarita was so strong so that I didn't have to get another one!), we still had a nice time. Saturday we took another one of our long walks down the east side to a school where I am doing some volunteer reading with elementary school kids. I wanted to make sure I knew exactly where it was. Then, we headed over to Chinatown and then walked through Little Italy. On our walk back home, we stopped at Lombardi's for lunch and had pizza. We also walked through the farmers market in Union Square, it's unbelievable all the stuff they have there!
Saturday evening we had tickets to see the Christopher Columbus statue. An artist built a temporary living room around the top of the statue, and you can climb up the steps to see Christopher. It was cool to see, but I must admit I was a bit nervous as I was sitting up there watching things in the room shake as people walked by me.
Sunday we headed to Hoboken to look at an apartment. Then, we took a walk along the water in Hoboken and got a few pictures of Manhattan. Sunday night we went to our new favorite bar to watch the Redskins win!!!!!! The bartender knows us know and as soon as we walked in on Sunday, he pointed out two seats at the bar for us.
Yesterday, Monday, David headed to Dunwoody for a couple nights for work. I can't imagine much has changed down there within a month;) I went to my volunteer session, and learned out the volunteering works. I will be going two days a week to read with my assigned student for 45 minutes. I forgot how adorable and tiny elementary school kids are, don't get me wrong, I love middle school too, but they were sooo cute yesterday!
