Boy, January sure does drag on friends … am I right?

Here’s a bit of what’s been happening lately.

^^At Terminal 5 on New Year’s Eve, aka our one-year wedding anniversary/ 7-year dating anniversary!

^^ The crazy band that started it all. If you ever have the opportunity to go see them — do it!
Such a good show … so much fun.

^^ Gorgeous one-year anniversary flowers from the hubs.

^^ New year, new do.

^^ Loved this old-timey bookstore in Saratoga Springs.

^^ Saratoga Springs was still all dolled up for the holidays when we went for our
one year anniversary trip, much to my delight.

^^ Tasty, fun and eclectic — that’s how we like our restaurants.

^^ A frozen Hudson River, waiting for the train back into the city from Beacon.

^^ Passing the funky Cooper Union building on our way to see STOMP last weekend.

^^ We also passed McSorley’s, the oldest Irish tavern in NYC.

^^ Astor Place subway stop.

^^ This is an old photo I found of my former view from my bedroom in my apartment at Normandy Court.
I found it for a little something I’m working on for the blog … you’ll just have to wait and see 😉
