NYC ---> MT

Wow! It has been a long time since I blogged, so I will start off where I left. Since most of you who read my blog know Ben and I, I'm sure you know we moved to Bozeman, MT. Between the after baby blues, being first time parents, stress, endless amounts of studying, and endless amounts of people we decided to leave the city.  Most people didn't understand our decision as they thought we should stick it out a little longer. Ben and I have both moved multiple times to different states, and this time it just wasn't a great fit for our family.  It wasn't a place we wanted to raise our little. At least we can say we were brave enough to try and that we had an extended vacation in NYC.  Not all of it was so bad... It really is a great city to visit.  On December 7th, Charlie and I left New York City knowing we wouldn't ever 'live' there again.  Part of me was sad, while the other part knew I was doing the right thing for my family.  Ben stayed behind to finish the semester.  Charlie and I spent a couple of weeks in Minnesota (where we lived previously and where Ben's family lives,) Ben caught up with us right before Christmas to finish the rest of our drive to Montana.

Montana Bound!

P.S. Did I mention that we were moving to Montana without a home lined up?  That is right.  We were just going to find something on a whim.  For all those who know my husband and I, I'm sure you aren't surprised.

BOZEMAN!

Tom's in town!

Last week Ben's longtime friend, Tom, flew in from Minnesota to spend some time with us!  He had never been here so we did as much as possible while he was here.  My favorite night we all had together was when I forced them to walk from China Town to Times Square.  Walking, in my opinion, is the best way to see the city.

Here are some of my favorite pictures:

We hit up Carnegie Deli afterwards, yummy!! (Pics from my iPhone).  This place is a must if you come to NY.  I would recommend sharing a sandwich :)





Afterward Shane and my Dad went to the Museum of Natural History while Ben and I walked home!
