Being Drew and Anna in NYC has its perks and its challenges. We get to live in and explore what many call the greatest city in the world, try out great food, see world class events and go for evening runs in Central Park. However there are challenges, one of the challenges is that we are over a thousand miles away from most of our friends and family. And this distance is never felt more during times of sadness. Unfortunately, both Drew’s and my family have experienced this in the past week and a half.

Okay, so with a part time job and no school work I probably have a lot more time right now to do things like write blogs and print wedding photos (no. I still haven’t gotten around to getting that done yet. but I will…) than I will have in the next year, or ever really, but for some reason that is the most un-motivating thought for writing a blog post.

Take that un-motivating thought and then add the fact that I haven’t blogged in a while and a lot of things have happened. So, I know that when I do get around to finally writing, I will have to write about a ton of stuff and that will take a really long time!! (And, hush all you logical people out there who see that I have a lot of time on my hands right now….) All of those factors added together creates the perfect storm for absolute laziness and no blogging.

So in an effort to stop this ridiculous cycle of lethargy, I am going to start blogging about recent events that have been occurring with Drew and Anna in NYC and, if I have time, I might get around to blogging about earlier this summer.

It’s been nearly a year since I officially left bachelorhood for the 24-7 company of my best buddy (and wife) Anna. We’ve spent nearly every second together and I’ve enjoyed every minute of those hours, even when it seemed like days.

Last weekend, Anna and I met up with a friend of mine who I met a couple years ago at the HighEdWebDev Conference. They had tickets to see a show called Fuerzabruta so we tried to get down to the theater on Friday evening to get cheaper rush tickets.

Sadly, my sense of direction was confused and after we got off the subway I led Anna east when we were supposed be headed west (or the other way around). She finally convinced me (I admit I can be stubborn) and we made it just in time to see two girls do a fist pump. They had purchased the last tickets (cue clench-fisted slow-motion “Noooooooooooo”).

Hello all,

The past month flew by. I can’t believe my Spring Break, Easter and April 1 have come and gone already. It all seems to have come and gone so fast. I know that Drew has written about some of our outings, but I will give you a little update on what’s been happening in my life.

Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR.

We went to a Knicks game last Sunday and it was one of the worst sports experiences of my life.

The loudest cheers of the night came from parents yelling for their scantily-clad, 12-year-old daughters dancing to “Low” during timeouts (Apple-bottom jeans and the boots with the fur!).

Let’s get the party started again.

Last night we made our way to a “Hipster Beach Party” on the Upper-East Side to bust a moby (funny, I didn’t even know what a hipster was until we moved here).

It’s been a quiet few weeks. We haven’t really done any major outings and I’ve regained my title as weekend sleep champ, waking up only once before noon during our last three-day weekend (and they’re impressed by squirrels?).

Anna and I went to the movie “Definitely, Maybe” (trailer), and it was surprisingly tolerable, dare I say enjoyable. I like Ryan Reynolds so that helped. The movie was also set in NYC so it was cool to see a lot of familiar places (hey, we’ve been there!). But, is it a must see? Definitely, maybe (sorry, not really).

And now for part two. I only hope that this blog doesn’t fall in line with most every sequel ever made (do you get the idea?) No? How about now?

It has now been two weekends since our last guests, my good friends, Dan and Alan, came to visit. They came over Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend. It was only a few days trip, but we packed a lot of stuff into the very short time. So get ready for a long post.
