Changing things up

So, I changed the format of my blog, maybe you haven't noticed :)  But that's not the only thing that has changed.  I moved to the always amazing NEW YORK CITY!!!  I admit that I follow a few NYC bloggers and they have inspired me to  change my blog to tell my story through my lens.  I will continue interviewing and photographing others I meet and feature them here (that will never change!)

 I've been a California girl since day one.  Born and raised, college and post college, the beach has never been far, its home.  But now a change is needed, I'm ready for the big city! Eeeek! I can't believe I finally made the move, I am so excited!  It's going to be extremely tough but I am ready for the challenge.  This year alone has already been a whirlwind and my life has taken a turn for the best :)    I met an awesome guy (NM), completed my academic portion of grad school, lived to the fullest in Hermosa Beach and have had great adventures with my friends near and far.

This year my relationship went long distance spanning thousands of miles,  many oceans and countries.  NM followed his dreams of joining the Peace Corps, where he is now living and working in Prilep, Macedonia (go ahead and google it, I had no idea where this was either!) I am really proud of his bravery to do this, he is a special person and any country will only benefit from his help :) Long distance is not easy but Skype has definitely been my date on many Friday nights.

Since NM is in Eastern Europe for the next two years I only found it appropriate to start my own adventure myself, hence the move to NYC!  Many of my friends have come and gone in this city but now it is my turn.  Moving to this city at 27 will be an interesting one. Meeting new people, getting my career started and bearing the cold will all be new things to me this upcoming year and I can't wait!


Cheers to 2013!! Bring. IT. ON!!!!
