Happy Anniversary NY

I moved up here in August 2002, right after graduating from college. I had majored in graphic design at Samford University, but wanted to learn more web based applications. So, I moved to NY to attend Parsons School of Design - where I received my MFA in Design and Technology - and the rest is history.

Because my birthday is at the end of August (*ahem*...next week), I was only 21 years old when a moved up here. Just a wittle baby! My sister, Amy, flew up with me and helped me move into my temporary housing. All of my belongings consisted of what I could fit into 3.5 suitcases. But it was all I needed...because I was finally home.

The past 8 years have been well beyond what I ever imagined. This city...electric. My friends...unforgettable. And the food?!? Don't even get me started...

So, Happy 8th Anniversary, New York! I love you more and more every day.

Me, circa 2004. A classy broad, as always. (p.s. I went all the way back to Friendster to find this picture.)
