Today Mike and I loaded up about 70 pounds of my belongings into a huge 4-wheeled suitcase and a duffel bag... we decided to ship a bit of my stuff home with him because as it turns out, I will be a Nashville resident once more about 2 weeks earlier than expected. Don't worry, nothing bad has happened! I love BUST and NYC with the amount of fervor that I always have, but responsibility calls and Mike and I need to find a place to live... pronto! A lot will be going on with school this semester and there are a lot of things in the works for me... but don't worry! Everything is more than amazing at the moment so I'll take the next few days to talk everything over and let you know about my plans. But as I sit here, realizing that I should have just over a month left of my NYC adventures, I am also staring at flights to Nashville for July 23rd... yes, just 18 days away. Again, more on that later! Don't worry your pretty little heads though. Things are fine and dandy!
Anyway, we headed up to Harlem on the subway to catch the M60 bus to Queens/La Guardia because I knew if we caught it in Astoria then we'd be stuck most likely taking a cab because his luggage was so big. It worked out well for us and we went to the airport where the suitcase weighed in at 49 pounds! 49! I swear, I am THE champion of getting it RIGHT under 50 pounds! Every time! We said our goodbyes and it was back on the M60 for me as I started to read Eat, Pray, Love.
I don't even know where to start with the photos. We took two disposables, several photos with the DSLR, and a TON of Instax polaroids. Those will be scanned eventually... I don't even know where to start with the adventures of the weekend either! I guess I'll just pick up with what I didn't write about yesterday! Yes? yes!
Mike and I packed up and headed to Central Park. We decided to lounge on the Great Lawn once more. It was scorching! But it was a glorious day to lay in the shade with a pillow and blanket! We had pasta from Oxford Cafe and fresh fruit, too! I even packed up a yummy little salad! Afterwards we headed downtown to St Marks and grabbed some Red Mango (Pomegranate froyo for the win!) before going home. We took it easy. We decided to forgo the fireworks on the Hudson due to the massive crowd and our sincere lack of interest in fireworks shot off by other people, and we walked around my neighborhood, happened into Noodles 28 and had some yummy Vietnamese dishes. We ended up back at the apartment watching Notting Hills and snuggling in bed until 11am.

Our dinner at Noodles 28 (also in celebration of our 7 months together [which was today!!!] hooray!):
Yummy spring rolls.
Mike had veggie lo-mein and dumplings.
I just had the veggie lo-mein. (Anyone else think dumplings are totally gross?!)
Now I'm just going to throw out a bunch of random photos and I'll write short little captions if necessary. I literally have a ton of photos so I'll only post a handful tonight. Then maybe some disposables tomorrow and what not! Plus I have a nice little giveaway and a We Love Colors review too!

Phew! That was really image overload so I apologize! I'll save the rest for later! How did you July 4th go? Whether you're American or not, did you have any Sunday Funday plans?!

ReplyDeletewhere are you guys giong to be looking for a place?
i went to florida for the weekend-i posted a ton of pics on my blog if u wanna see
Ooh a Nashville person! Do you love it there? I've been trying to find someone who lives there so I can drill them for questions... my husband's job is transferring him there in the winter but I've never been there, and I don't know anything about it. Can I ask you a million questions about it sometime?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you have to leave New York! But I definitely understand the need to take care of your family as well. You guys are adorable :)
that melon looks delicious! totally inspired me to go out and get some tonight! you're sucha babe!
ReplyDeleteWe had a picnic on Sunday except it was kinda too hot and also my friend's son wasn't very well so we ended up having a picnic in my friends back yard - it was still good fun.
ReplyDeleteWe had couscous and scotch eggs and cakes
you and mike are so cute.
ReplyDeleteand yay for coming back to nashville! i was just there about a week ago. it's such a lovely place :)
I ended up having to work 3rd shift on the 4th (bottle rockets in the eye, sunburns and all) therefore I slept most of the day so I'm living vicariously through your photos :)
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, I just finished Eat, Pray, Love this weekend. It was an awesome read and definitely made me think about shaping my future a little differently.
Love all of the photos, especially the one of you sitting on the curb in your blue dress and red tights. Those colors pop against the drab paver stones! And the buildings make me miss Boston like crazy. :)
Susannah: i have an Instax Mini Choco (the brown one) and I love it! I buy my film on Amazon so it's pretty cheap (2 packs of 10 for about $12-$15). :D
