NEWYORKIVERSARY

We have officially been New Yorkers for a year! WOO HOO!

It has been nothing short of incredible and we have loved our time thus far. It is such a unique place--truly nowhere else like it.

We love exploring different neighborhoods, trying endless food, walking and taking public transit everywhere, Alex's schooling and my job, and of course all of our friends we've made! 

Here is a fun list of our favorite things about New York:

Kayla's list:

Favorite moment: Winning broadway tickets for front row of Mean Girls and riding bikes through all of Manhattan

Favorite Sight: The Rockefeller Tree

Something Special: All of the visitors we get here!

Favorite place: Central Park (specifically the pool/loch area)

Favorite Food: Juliana's pizza

Favorite Treat: City Cakes cookies and Magnolia Bakery banana pudding

Favorite season: Easily fall

Biggest Surprise: How genuine and helpful people are here

Least Favorite thing: Trains that don't have AC...and just the summer heat in general

Things you've learned: It rains here more than in Seattle. Seriously, look it up. You want some dreary weather? Move to New York. (fyi I love the rain, don't @ me)

Alex's list:

Favorite moment: Winning Mean Girls lottery and sitting front row. Kayla nearly died from shock when she won.

Favorite Sight: Sitting in Butler Library (at Columbia) looking out at Low Library. Next is Brooklyn Bridge landing where you can see the New York Skyline super well.

Something Special: Spent our first Thanksgiving in New York with my homies and we all crashed in our apartment together even though we knew it would be cramped. Also froze at Macy's day parade while Landon and Miranda and Kit accidentally marched in the parade

Favorite place: The Follies closet/hallway (just FYI...you will only get this if you go to CBS haha)

Favorite Food: Juliana's pizza

Favorite Treat: Chocolate almond croissant from Orwasher's Bakery (closely followed by cheesecake from Magnolia Bakery)

Favorite season: Spring for sure

Biggest Surprise: Kayla getting pregnant and us having a New York baby during school

Least Favorite thing: Urine scent everywhere
Things you've learned: Don't step on anything on the sidewalk if you don't clearly know what it is

Now a year's worth photo dump:
