"we just signed away our lives (for a year)"

let the day go down in history... May 24th, 2010 ... We wrote the biggest checks of our lives to date and signed a lease "through sickness and health, 'til death do us part" to our very own first apartment :) YAY

it all started... well... it all started, when we were set up on a "girl date" by some guy friends in high school, and we have been besssts ever since (thanks boys)!! but the NYC thing... well that started in the late summer of 2009. Kelly had been itching to make the move to NYC since college graduation and was determined that this "year" was her year. After a slight set back due to a health surprise her autumn move was postponed... but gave her just in enough time to convince Jillian NYC was where it was AT! Jill had been itching to move to Boston for quite some time... hoping to work in a trendy salon on Newbury Street, but with some poking, prodding, and a little convincing, we both decided that either city would be fun as long as we were together, and hey, who says we can't do both?!?!? (eventually mom and dad, eventually)

SOOOO NYC won and our next step was, well our next step, was EVERYTHING and let me tell you, we are still figuring it all out. BUT we do know one thing, we know where we are living :) and are thrilled about it! We are on the Upper East Side in the low 80's close to the East River. A few minutes walk down the street and we have a gorgeous view, and few more minutes some great dog parks and a beautifully gardened city escape, and a few more some of the best bars NYC has to offer! We move in the first week of June which has snuck up on us soooo fast!

Check back often for some highlights, advice, stories, recommendations, and basically everything you want to know about our move and our first year of our big adventure!! :) Here is a sneak peak at our place... more photos and videos to come next week!

Love,

Jill and Kelly
