Run Forrest Run

OK, so this picture isn't me...just in case you couldn't tell, but I did run a half-marathon this morning in Central Park. It was a Norwegian Festival and the run was called Grete’s Great Gallop. I decided around 10pm last night to run, which was not the brightest idea since I hadn't trained at all. Eating a Norwegian waffle covered in jam right before the race probably wasn't a great idea either...I have a really hard time turning down free food in this city:) I survived though, barely.

Finally!!!

Christian finally came to visit this weekend. We had a weekend full of shows, picnics, and even a little Tango lesson in Central Park. Oh, and I can't forget dancing with the famous central park roller skaters and getting nearly 30 free packs of Mentos from people on the street!!

Back to P-town

I went to Utah last week for a recruiting event at BYU. I was only there for 24 hrs. so I had two very important things to do: 1. Get frozen yogurt from Maverick and 2. a salad from Cafe Rio. While I nearly made myself sick from frozen yogurt, I didn't budget enough time for Rio. I tried to go on the way to the airport, but after walking in, looking at the line, and strongly considering missing my flight for Rio, I had to settle for a purse full of their mints and driving back to the airport hungry:(

Sightings...call Perez!

This week, in a period of 24 hours, I had 3 (well more like 2 1/2) celebrity sightings:
1. Usher and his wife-coming out of Cipriani in Soho
2. Gemma Ward- also in Soho
3. Jim Turley- the CEO of my company (Ernst and Young)- we rode in the elevator together...he's the .5 celebrity, but since nobody outside of my company would know who he is I guess he doesn't even qualify as a .5

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Our friend Garrett, who we've known since high school, plays for the Baltimore Orioles. They were in town this last week playing the Yankees. He not only got us amazing seats, but after the game he came out from the locker room with baseball caps and baseballs signed by the whole team for each of us!! I'm still a Dodger fan at heart though:)

Home Sweet Home

I've been in the Big Apple for 2 weeks now. After dragging my 5 suitcases through JFK I eventually arrived at my new place on Wall Street. It's small...3 girls, 2 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom, but I love it. Sam (the doorman) is best friends with my roommates and has basically furnished our entire apartment with things old tenants left behind. It's finally starting to feel like home.

While diligently studying for the CPA exam I discovered these new e-cards on Hallmark.com. I think I found a new substitute for christmas cards:)

Here it goes...

After many months of looking, reading...you could even call it stalking people I didn't know through their blogs, I decided I needed to do something else to fill my time. Today my journey into the world of blogging begins. More importantly though, my move to NYC is quickly approaching and it only seems appropriate that I already be a well versed blogger before I arrive! Here it goes...
