Welcome to NY!!!

So, I'm a little late in posting this as we've been here for a week now. However, in this week we've climbed mountains. We arrived in the city on the second of June. We were making phone calls and setting up appointments to look at apartments three hours before we even arrived into the city. An hour after we arrived into Brooklyn, we were off to look for a place to live. The first place we found was in Greenpoint. It's a small one-bedroom (believe that, it's small! In New York!) with tons of character. After that we looked at places that we would NEVER live in, to be read, "Complete shit holes." Long story short, the following day we signed a two-year lease for the place in Greenpoint and haven't looked back. We love our new 'hood! Since then I've secured a job for myself and since already started. And today we ventured into Chelsea to buy an A/C unit to combat this ridiculous heat we've been feeling. So, when we do move into our place this Sunday we can do so in some semblance of comfort. Beth is still looking for a job, but I have all the faith in her and her talent that she'll find something relatively soon. All this said, it has been an amazing adventure and we are so ready to get settled into our new place. I love this city!!!
