Today is my 24th birthday. Last year I celebrated my birthday in Hawaii while interning in Volcanoes National Park. This year I'm celebrating in New York City. The year has been one of change, excitement, ups, downs, and well everything in between. In my 24th year I hope for a bit of stability and to perhaps be living in the same city and working at the same job a year from now.
In my 23rd year I traveled to Hawaii- for 14weeks!, Colombia, Indiana, and moved to New York City. I worked as an intern, got my first "real job," quit my first real job for a new job I wasn't legally allowed to take, and was offered a new position last week with a financial firm to be an assistant with the company. I will start the job on October 4!

the search that doesn't end
I thought of this old song today...it reminds me of my job search.
Things aren't so bad though. I should have good news soon! Thank you to everyone for all your support and thoughts!

Fashion's Night Out
Friday night, September 10, was the kick off for fall fashion week in New York. The week started with a city wide retail event- Fashion's Night Out. Though I am no where near a fashionista I still found it fun to participate in the event, NYC is one of the fashion capitals of the world after all or is it THE fashion capital of the world?
Last night was the second annual Fashion's Night Out. Many of the stores in the city gave out incentives for shoppers to come in and browse new fall collections- champagne, cupcakes, candy,celeb appearances, discounts. We saw Victoria Beckham at Bergdorf Goodman. She was scheduled to show up in the store where her dress collection is showcased at 8:30, after waiting in a crowd with 200 people for 45 minutes she finally showed up, never really smiled, did a little celeb pose and left.
The night left me exhausted!

my bff
My longtime childhood bff is getting married in 10 days. She made one final trip as Miss. Yoder over labor day weekend to the city.
Over the past five years we haven't had the opportunity to spend too much time together as we've some how turned into "grown-ups." Each time we do get together though I realize how lucky I am to have such a beautiful friend inside and out.
