2016

            
Has anyone ever asked you if you have a favorite year? Someone asked me a couple of months ago and I didn't have an answer until this day, New Years Eve. And 2016 was by far my best year. My goal for the year was to move to New York City and I did just that. Luckily I take pictures of everything and can give you guys a recap as well as a visual of my best year, 2016. Lets start with this exact day last year...

I was heading down to West Pittston to celebrate New Years with my ex.

We got back together for only a couple of months and I learned it would never work out between us. I didn't regret anything because I would never have to ask myself, What if? again. By the time that had ended it was spring and the most beautiful time to be in a little town called Weatherly. I had all of my things packed but decided to stay home and work throughout the summer. That way I  could save up more money and would be home for

My sisters Graduation and my best friends wedding.
 

 

          I promised myself that I would make the best out of the summer. I picked up a cashier job at a local grocery store that was super easy and not stressful at all.

 

I went on hikes almost every day and soaked up as much sun as possible.

 

I spent a lot of time with my friends.
 

 

I ran almost every day and got in the best shape I've ever been.

 

 

Then October came. I packed my belongings in my best friends car and

 

I moved to New York City.
 

Every day since I moved to New York City has been quite an adventure.

 

In only 3 Months:

 

I dog Walked.

 

I moved into my own Studio Apartment.

 

 

I worked at Coyote Ugly.

I ate at the most beautiful restaurants.

 

I danced in the biggest night clubs.

 

I stayed up all night running around the city.

 

I spent Halloween surrounded by people in costumes.

 

 

I upgraded my shoe collection.

 

 

I ice skated at Rockefeller Center with my family.
 

 

 

I watched the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade. (In Person)
 

I walked past Sam Rockwell and his wife Leslie Bibb.
 

 

 

I bought my first Christmas Tree for my apartment.

 

 

I gave my sister the best day for her 19th Birthday.

 

I got tattooed for an an entire day.

 

 

And for the perfect ending to the best year, I got to spend Christmas with my family and friends.

 

 

 I am so thankful for everything I have and for everyone who has been there for me throughout this crazy year. I've been doing a lot of thinking about what my goal will be for next year and decided in 2017 I will get a Real-Estate license and land a career. I make a lot of money now but I don't want to live off of tips forever. I want a legit job with a steady income. That doesn't mean that I'm throwing my creativity down the toilet. I will continue to work on my books and start painting again.

 

This city has so much to offer and I cant wait to see all that I accomplish in 2017!
