Richie and I left home for New York on Saturday, December 27th. Its weird because when we first left for St. Maarten...we left on the same day only 2 years earlier. We first went to spend the night with my grandmother in Tallulah to attend one of my best friends wedding in Monroe, Courtney and Jorge. The wedding was fabulous and she looked like a princess! We are so excited for them! They are actually in New York for their honeymoon!
We left Tallulah early the following morning to begin our 22 hour drive to New York. The drive was not as bad as we were expecting. We decided that we would go halfway and spend the night but ended up going further so we would only have about 8 hours of driving time the next day. We spent the night in Roanoak Virginia. The hotel was beautiful and a very nice and much needed break from the car!
We left Roanoak early the next morning (before 7 am) so that we could get to our new apartment at a reasonable time. We had a quite boring day of driving, lots of interstates and not much traffic until we hit Jersey. Wow, did things change. We were using our GPS the entire route because it told us exactly what lane to be in and for how long we would be in that lane. We waited and waited and waited and went through a couple of tunnels that was to bring us into Manhattan and then we would take another bridge to Queens to our apartment. Well, it brought us to Manhattan and "spit" us out right into the city, which by using our GPS we thought would be no big deal...WRONG! Our GPS couldn't pick us up because of all of the tall buildings so we were completely lost. Luckily for me, Richie is smart and we finally found our way out of Manhattan and into Queens!
We spent the rest of last week shopping with Cesar and trying to get settled into our new place. We can't thank Cesar enough for what he has done for us this week! We love our place! It is starting to feel a little like home, but will never be the real deal because we don't have all of our friends and family, BUT...we will adjust. The location is perfect for Richie's hospital, Flushing Medical Center, and very close to where I am going to start working next week, Long Island Jewish in Long Island. We are both only about 10-15 minutes away so its perfect! It snowed two days last week but nothing stayed on the ground yet, thank goodness! I have been freezing and Richie is loving all this cold weather! Below is a picture of Richie in front of our apartment and the other is just our place! I'll show more pics when its clean...ha ha ha. We'll keep you all posted on our adventures!
