Sunshine Kisses

The other day it was 80 degrees for the first time. Spring is turning into summer. When I walk outside, especially in midtown it smells like hotdogs and anything else you can bbq. There are ice cream trucks EVERYWHERE and I bought my first one of the season on Sunday. I can actually wear shorts, or wear pants and a tank. The heater officially has not come on in at least a month. And in 3 days it will be May!!!

It's so crazy how fast time flies. I came to NY a year ago in 2 months. This time last year, I was finishing up my finals getting ready to quit my job and anticipating my bit trip to NYC not knowing what would happen once I left CA. I think about the life I have created since then. I came here with a suitcase and now as I look around my room I have a bed, dresser, night stand, chair, curtains a normal closet. I have 2 amazing jobs where I have made many incredible friends and met a lot of talented people. At this point, I couldn't imagine not living in NY.

I am traveling back to Sacramento in a little less then a month to see my mom get married after 14 years! I will get to see my best friend, my nephew, sisters and brother. I will get to see extended family which I have not seen in years. Every second that I spend in my old home is filled with exciting moments with the people I love because I can never stay more then a few days. Not to mention enjoy the amazing CA weather compared to the humid NY weather.

Once I get back to NY for the summer though, this time around it will be spent enjoying every min of it, unlike last summer when I was just trying to figure out the city. I want to go to the beach and amusement parks and the river and go to DC or Boston and not worry about the little things until Sept hits again. Freedom.
