i love this:

taken from the wonderfully
inspiring sweeterie

a blonde moment?

This past week while in The Empire State, I realized something...

blondes are rare- very rare. On Thursday night, I was told that I 

looked like a "dixie chick."  My only thought, please let it be the 

pretty one and not the one that hates George Bush?

Its a slow day at work. Can you tell?

new york recap.

is it too much to say that i love that city.

the weather, the people, the atmosphere, the energy, the love, 

the need for truth, the style, the work ethic, the ecclecticism?,

the feeling of being alive, of working for something greater 

than myself... i love new york city. 

I had the opportunity to meet with five different companies

while I was in town.  Each one had something completely

different to offer... each one was a truly nyc company.

From magazines, to events, to music... they were fun.

I was also SO very lucky to see tons of texans, aggies, 

new yorkers, friends! while I was in town.  To say the least, 

people made sure I loved every second of my trip. 

From college friends to intern friends- it was a blast.

I felt recharged, energized, and excited.  I still feel this way.

I am ready for January.  I only hope that New York is 

ready for me... still crossing my fingers.

central park

leaves. leaves. and more leaves.

i LOVE new york in the fall.

central park was a beautiful site on friday afternoon!

...just pretty enough to solidify a move in early january.

november + new york

oh my gosh... it was an INCREDIBLE trip.

i did not want to leave, i even joked about canceling 

my flight home, which was not at all an option.

i took this picture on day 1 in my old neighborhood.

::out of town::

I am currently procrastinating packing for my trip- i leave town at 10 am tomorrow morning and not one single thing has been folded, packed, crossed off my list, and the last minute target run has been postponed until morning... its going to be an early Wednesday morning around here. {its always early for kcrawf :)}  In my defense, I have not packed because I have no idea what to take to new york for the fall. I have meetings on Thursday, its supposed to rain :(. For those of you who aren't familiar with new york rain, its terrible. {I am certain that it actually rains sideways causing any umbrella to turn inside out, along with turning your choice of footwear into water shoes = not fun at all for interviews}. And then I am also having trouble deciding what forty degrees means in regards to outerwear.  In Texas, it would mean uggs, scarf, heaviest jacket owned, and possibly gloves? I'm not sure that it means that in nyc. And don't worry friends, my uggs are not making the interview trip... maybe next time? To wrap up this meaningless post, I would love your prayers for this trip. I am meeting with a lot of people about everything in regard to my future life in new york. Back in Texas on Sunday, crossing my fingers for some big news! {I would absolutely love it if you would cross yours too? Thanks!} 

farewell october...
