August recap

Sorry we have been such infrequent posters here the past couple weeks. Brian and I have been preparing for our upcoming move. We will be heading for Columbus, Ohio very soon. We have a place to move all picked out and my job with the census is almost finished. Many boxes have already been packed, and there have been a lot of potential renters coming through our apartment recently.

Since it has been a while, here are a few of the things we have been up to:

My friend Amanda came to NYC with her husband and a couple friends. We met up in Central Park. It was really great to see her again (it has been a while). You can see more pics on facebook or at her blog (see the sidebar).

My birthday was earlier this month, and Brian got me this delicious icecream cake. It was really rich so it took a while for us to eat it, but we enjoyed every slice.

We also went to Philadelphia to have dinner with some friends. Kimberly (second to the left) was visiting from Canada, which was a good excuse to get together for some food and conversation.

Me and Brian at the same dinner:

My friend Smiti visited NYC last week, so we took a trip on the Staten Island ferry together. It was a really humid day, so it was great to get out on the bay and catch the breeze. I know it is hard to tell, but the tiny tower behind us is the statue of liberty.
