hopefully a new home

So I looked at a new apartment yesterday. It is actually in a great area. Its right on the edge of the financial district in lower manhattan. It took me only about three minutes to walk from the Battery Park train stop or the Wall St. train stop. It is one bedroom out of a loft apartment that is above a pizza shop. The rent is a little bit more than I pay now but it is totally worth it due to the little time it will take to get anywhere in the city and also the amount of stuff there is to do around it. Since it is in lower manhattan, which is the oldest part of the city, the architecture for the small buildings is still sort of harbor feeling which is great and there are several little alley ways with restaurants tucked in them. The apartment even has a washer and dryer, which connected to the room that I would rent so that is both great and not as great.

I have officially bought my ticket home for a week at the end of july, so that should be a lot of fun. Laura and I are doing great and we get to see eachother all the time which is fantastic.

Oh, I now have skype for my webcam so if anyone has those two things let me know and we can talk. Thats all for now.

Thankfully the virus and infection has gone away. Note to Michelle: yes the doctor told me it was not the name of the virus but the infection that the virus brought on. Though my ear has still yet to pop, my voice and strength are back to normal. Thank you for the research though!

I have been thinking a lot of home lately, not that I want to move back but some small things I miss. I never thought I would say this but I actually miss Meijer sometimes. The ability to go to one store and buy everything is just so convenient and above that at reasonable prices. Or to be able to hop in a car and drive somewhere quickly. I don't want to make it sound like I don't like the city though, there is always something to do and everything is open late. It will be interesting to see where Laura and I go next, we have been lightly talking about Chicago...Time will tell.
