In December 2008, I was visiting home in Atlanta and sat down to make my New Year’s Resolutions for 2009.  It turns out that I didn’t feel like making goals for 2009.  I felt like traveling.  And so I did.  My list?  New York City.  Los Angeles.  Salt Lake City.  Santa Fe.  DC.  Vancouver.  Del Rio.

I made it everywhere (plus some!) except for Santa Fe, which has rolled over onto my list for 2010.

To begin, I want to post some photos from my new home.  Aside from the fact that I really, really hate the winter weather in the Pacific Northwest, I have to say that I feel very lucky to live here.  I’ve always wanted to live in Seattle, so you can say that I am checking off something from my Life List. Lucky me.

New York City.

I {heart} NYC.  You will find me there often.  I hope.

Magnolia Bakery [ala SNL's Lazy Sunday.  I hope this song is in your head right now.]

Vancouver, BC

[When you see my face, hope it gives you hell.]

Del Rio, TX

I felt so bohemian in this moment…riding the Greyhound from San Antonio to Del Rio.  My life is weird.

Yes.  Union Cafe Fish Tacos DO deserve an entire post.
