BUSHWICK

Two weeks ago I had my last day @ Casual Male it was bitter sweet.  I left Providence for Brooklyn (Bushwick)  on April 24. So I have spent the last two weeks, getting the apartment situated job hunting and interviewing and being completely homesick.  Fortunately the homesickness is passing and I have had some amazing interviews, and things are definitely looking up. I haven't been homesick since I went to ROMA. 

We have found some really great restaurants and local bars in the neighborhood. There is also the Maria Hernandez Park two blocks over which has been amazing for Gretel. 

This is going to be amazing.

Gretel & JP

 

On Saturday I ended up leaving Gretel with JP in Brooklyn. Needless to say from the phone calls I am getting she is NOT adapting well.She is lunging and trying to bite people (awesome). And for those of you who know her she really is a sweet girl and that truly isn't her nature. So I can't do anything until Saturday when I get in town. We now need to bring back her training collar. The trainer thinks that she is over stimulated, and scared. I feel so bad and I am completely in a panic.

Love

                                       


So as most of you know I have been producing Luvbots for Peace Love Studios... I truly hope to be producing are for some local galleries in Brooklyn.. maybe even a few Luvbots will make it there!

Bushwick

WOW... Friday is my last day. I completely started to well up in the bathroom today. This is so surreal. I have spent the last three year with my co workers/ friends . I spend more time with them at work than I do at home.  I'm alittle sad.

So yes we have moved in. The pictures you are about to see are from the first day in the apartment.. before we started cleaning and painting.

I am in love with Cat Power

WE MOVED!!!!

WE DID IT!!!!!! We moved to Bushwick!!! This is the best decision we have made in the last year and a half. We found a huge railroad on the 3rd floor, perfect for us and Gretel. We also have rooftop access!!!! With that being said I quit my job on Monday, so I currently have two weeks here before I am fully submerged in Brooklyn. Fortunately JP was able to get in two weeks ago so he began painting, and this past weekend we moved all of our furniture and most of our small possessions. I am so incredibly excited I can't begin to express how I feel. Its bitter sweet leaving our friends and work but this is going to be amazing, I can't wait to have everyone visit!!!

Brooklyn

JP & I are moving. We are leaving. Crazy, right?! Its very exciting yet incredibly scary. We are going to be packing up our apartment, Gretel, leave our families and friends, sell our cars and leave Providence. Providence is comfortable. Providence is almost to comfortable-its time to depart and expand our lives, careers and move forward. On Thursday after work we drove up to Brooklyn with G-Dog, looked a 3 apartments in Fort Greene, loved one of them and then drove back. After our quick 7 hour adventure I feel 110% that we are making the right decision. I can't wait to start a new beginning in Brooklyn.
