It has been three weeks since my vacation to Utah and it didn't take me long to adjust back into my New York life. I love it here. I love New York and although the NY lifestyle is not for everybody it is defintely for me. It is crazy busy here all the time. The humidty can be suffacating but honestly there is no place in the world I would rather be. I love the city life. People ask me all the time if I miss Utah and the mountains..... but honestly I don't. I think I am realizing that I am a total city girl. I appreciate mother nature's obvious appearence Utah. The mountains and lakes are beautiful but I am finding it is something I can live without.
Life has been slightly hectic since I have been back and I am ready for it to wind down a bit. However, it doesn't look like that is going to happen anytime soon. I have been moving and starting my new job at the same time. My new apartment is amazing. It is right next to central park on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. My new job is at a PR fashion agency called Exposure. I have never worked at a PR agency and I have never worked in fashion. I tend to be shy and apprehensive at first with new situations and with meeting new people. The job isn't coming super easy to me as much as I wish it was and that shakes my condfidence a little. The people I work for are straight forward and intimidating. My job tests my confidence and ability to work well under pressure and meet deadlines. My job isn't impossible but I need to build my confidence so I can really do my best and prove myself.
Life can be challenging but anything that is worth having comes with hard work. I really do value hard work and challenges because they make you grow into the kind of person that is worth being. I want to surprise myself with my life experiences. I want to make happen what I never thought possible. If anyone would have told me a year ago that I would be in NY working for a fashion PR firm I would not have believed them. And maybe working and living in New York is miniscule to a lot of people but for me, it was something I only ever imagined would happen to me. Now here I am, in New York, experiencing my imagination for real. I am living a completely different scenario than my life in Utah. It's great! And I want to continue on with a life full of surprises.

Aside from work and moving into my new apartment, I defintely leave time to play and have fun. Last weekend my friend Catrina and I went sunglass shopping. I am realizing I have a fetish for glasses but I can only afford the $10 ones from China Town. However, that doesn't mean I don't like to browse the expensive stuff.
Catrina and I ventured down to the lower east side of Manhattan and came across a glasses shop called Fabulous Fannys. They have an extensive collection of vintage and modern frames ranging from antique spectacles dating back from the 1700s. I fell in love but my budjet did not.
