I have a job!

Today I was offered a job as the Assistant Planner for Macy's East. For those who don't know what that means, basically the Planner looks at past record of sales and advises the buyer on what sold and what didn't sell and how much money the buyer can spend. The Assistant Planner does the allocations, so I would decide how much of what the buyer bought goes to each store, again looking back at the previous years numbers.
I'm super excited, it's something I wanted to do when I graduated and I always wanted to work for what used to be Federated, now Macy's Inc.
I start on October 15 and I can't wait.

I've been blogging a lot in the past two days, I wanted to kind of give a background and put it up to date before I give people the link. I hope I don't get too addicted to this!

Mets game

Tonight we went to the Mets baseball game with poeple from church. It was fun to be there but the game was terrible, the Mets lost by I think like 9 points. We went with a friend of ours (Natalie) from college, so it was nice to catch up with her.

New apartment

Well today we officially signed our lease for our new apartment in Elmhurst, Queens.
We hope to have lots of visitor eventhough we will be outside Manhattan!
Our move date is October 1st.
It will be very different, both Jr and I have always lived in Manhattan for the last 6 years.
A new experience I guess.

Summer outings in or around New York

When we didn't get out of New York State, we tried to still go out and do some things. We went to the Red Bull soccer game when David Backham was playing in New York, we went to a Yankees game, we went to pick apple upstate, we went to the Woodbury Outlet... and a bunch of other fun stuff like that!

Super hot David Beckham

Summer trips outside New York

So this past summer we tried to get out of the city as much as we could. There comes a point when the island of Manhattan is just suffocating. We couldn't leave the country until I got my green card approved (August 14) so in May we went to Florida for a few days during Memorial day weekend. In July we went boating with my family in Burlington, Vermont. Then after my green card was approved, we went to Montreal and Quebec City. Jr and I had been to Quebec City together before but it was during the winter and the coldest week of the winter, so it was nice to go back in the summer and actually be able to get out of the car without getting icicle in our nose.
