Big Graduate = Big Apple

My kick-ass friend Ali and I celebrated the end of my MBA in New York City last weekend. It was a ton of fun and a ton of walking - 25 miles to be exact! We a saw all the main sites, most popular for us was all the HTMs - Hot, Tranny Messes. Holy shit does NYC have a lot of them, but to Ali's point what better place to be if you are a HTM. NYC is truly the city that never sleeps, the epicenter of noise and the place of where fashion is whatever you want it to be. Though must-have's right now are definitely scraves, ballet flats, skinny jeans, leggings... still!, a hot light jacket, safari dresses and horrible 90's heeled shoes. Obiviously we did some people watching. Oh and the men are goregous! Gay, but goregous. And anytime you want a picture with a bull's balls just visit Wall Street, an American attraction sadly, a giggle for all. Next time I do NYC, I am bringing a fat wad of cash and doing some major shopping... until next time. Oh by the way the TSA says "no snowglobes allowed, spread the word".

Us...Five! Five-a-Live!

Seriously. five. it's a big number. Okay. this year, there's no tellin', well maybe some tellin' since it's already May... Here's what I do know and the rest well it's all a big ole' question mark. Year five will inevitably bring change, career change! yay! attitude change! yay! I've been waiting. it's finally here. now Raybill... Matt scored our first investment property. and a tv show to boot (note: tv show used generously). watch for it peeps. It's going to be huge ;)

Us... cuatro ano

I really have no idea where this year will lead us. All starts with our biggest vacation yet... Thailand. And then from there who knows? We have (or should I say I have) been searching for a project maybe landlords, maybe a new fantastic job, maybe entrepuer, maybe a new house. Crystal ball anyone?

Us... On to year three.

Most exciting thing in our life... No more school! No more school! Well at least for me. Matt may think differently, like I told him vacation is on for me, over for him ;) Not quite sure how I will fill my time yet, we all know I don't do relaxation well, and the first two weeks have been interesting, a visit to NYC, re-sodding the lawn for the second time, planting the garden, a craiglist's garage sale, etc.

Us... Year 2

Year 2 of marriage. As Matt would say this is the year of being "young professionals"... Matt went independent in August and we are trying to figure out how to adjust to "tax-free" checks. It makes me a little nervous but Matt, the ever adivsor, says it is just fine. I just started my new job at ConAgra Foods, quite a change from industrial automation. Oh and there's school... never ending school. Someday, I will be done, right? With the house projects near completion, Matt traded smoking for a new boat. (I think he cheats by having a beer just to justify a smoke, but I secretly cannot bring myself to sell the boat - Sonny likes it too much) And then there is Sonny, 100 pounds and spoiled. He continues to rule the house.
