New York is coming up quick. A lot quicker than I imagined. A month and half until we are outta here. When we decided we were moving, it felt like we had "plenty of time". Now there can't be enough time. So much to do, so little time.
What I'm most excited about
Living in a big city
The diversity
The people
Riding the subways
Working in a big city
Exploring with Derek
Visitors
What I'm most nervous about

Working in a big city
Finding a job
Finding a place to live
Being able to pay for everything
We have no clue where we are going to live, how we're going to pay for it all, and what day to make our last day in Utah.
We've always dreamed of being truly out on our own. I don't think it will be much different than things are now because we really only hang out with each other and don't go elsewhere when we are bugging each other. So I think we've got a pretty good foundation there.
My biggest concern is getting a job.
Will I work in a fancy building like this?
Could I get hired on at 99 cent dreams?
Could I be a Central Park tour guide?
(No, this was not photoshopped. This is what you get when D takes a picture)
Could I clean the streets from Occupy Wall Street?
I guess only time will tell.
If ya'll have connections, I'd be more than happy to hear. Thanks so much for your love, support, and excitement for us and our big adventure to the NYC. It means the world.
xoxo,
Mandy
Amanda,
