1 new album…and addendum
today we tried to fit some fun in, and since we have a limited number of weekends left here in ny, we decided to go ice skating in central park. but when we were faced with the ice skating rink, tons of people, loud music, and a nearly $50 fee, we decided to soak up the ambiance elsewhere. which basically means we sat in the checkers pavillion and watched people, dogs, squirrels, and a neighboring photo shoot. 🙂
oops, sorry guys! cheryl’s spot in the live chat made me realize that maybe not everybody knows what our plans are. and since they’re official, we feel comfortable in making them public. 🙂 eric and i are moving to colorado next month! yaaay! that’s why i took a quick trip out there last weekend, so scout out living situations, areas, distances, etc. and alot of details are still up in the air right now, but we *are* going to be rolling on out of new york in december. and i’ll admit, it’s going to be bittersweet, because although we totally love where we’re moving to, we’ve made some really nice friends here and, to be quite honest, new york wormed its way into our hearts. we may complain and moan about certain aspects of city life, but there’s just nothing else like new york city! and if we could, we would totally own/rent a second apartment/house here in the city (we’ve already talked about it…hehe).
so while we’re very excited to move back to a more rural lifestyle, we’ll actually miss new york very much. and though we won’t miss the communal germs and homeless people on the subway or the drunk guy falling down on the bus, we will totally miss the overall feeling and experience that is new york (okay, maybe we’ll miss the homeless people, too, and *maybe* the drunk guy, cause it’s not everywhere where a drunk guy does a face-plant on the bus and people *actually* help him up and ask if he’s allright with genuine concern and humor).
in closing, if we win the lottery, new york city is the first place we’d buy an apartment in! and it hasn’t seen the last of us, not by a long shot! 😀

Well, Kids, you’ve wormed your way into New York’s heart, also. Certainly into ours. We are gonna miss you something awful. Perhaps when *we* visit you in the Boulder of Colorado we could bring you some real bagels.

we’re going to be listening to a lot of rocky mountain high this christmas–we’re spending it in the apalachians with Jakki’s dad’s side of the family and they’re all huge John Denver fans. I feel right at home. 😉
