"Start spreadin' the news...I'm leavin' today... I want to be apart of it... New York, New York!

We made it! It's been a hectic couple of weeks but we are here. It's crazy! We've been running around everyday running errands, buying furniture, figuring out the subway system, and seeing the sights! The boys have started school and they are loving it. Of course it's a big change but I think we'll get use to it!
We were eating out so much- we decided to order in good ole' chinese
At the airport getting ready to load the plane


Our good friends- Marylynn and Scott live here and they took us to a great Mexican restaurant


So Jeff bought this shower curtain that shows a map of the subway system... so in the shower we can get to know NY a little better =) hilarious

We already saw our cousins that came out for the US Open. Fun to see you Mar and Traci!
We ate at a great place called the Shake Shack - and then sat on the lawn to watch a big screen of the US Open
Yankees Game!!! Yankees vs. Red Sox









Here is the outside of our place- Butler Hall



This is our awesome kitchen! We are thinking of remodeling our kitchen at home to look like this. Let us know what you think...
So we came with just our luggage and we have been sleeping on air mattresses for the past week. We finally got our stuff the other day and can now set up the apt! Here is a little preview of our front room:
Here is the view from our apt- kind of fun to see the campus

Jeff and Trav all ready for their first day of school =)

Oh, big move! I have to say I'm excited to have friends at 6 hours rather than 36! We need to come see you or have you come see us (both, I'm sure over the nest year!) Dave and I went to the Red Sox-Yankees last year when we were in NY-greatest cheese fries ever! We'll be in touch!
