Things I Hate About NYC: (in no particular order)
1. The Smells- I will be walking down the street and all of a sudden it smells SO bad I feel like I want to puke and then four seconds later it smells fine again. It smells like pee in the elevator at our apartment. It smells like cigarette smoke all over the place. Even our apartment smells like it except for in our room which has truly become a safe haven from EVERYTHING going on in the world.
2. Drinking/Smoking-everyone here smokes. I think there would be much less pollution if people would just stop smoking! I hope I don't die an early death from second hand smoke.
3. Immorality and Immodesty- you can't walk down the street without seeing scantily clad women or men for that matter. As Tagg says, New York is full of R rated sidewalks....SO TRUE!
4. Foul Language- I have never heard the F word so much...ever! Growing up in Texas I definitely heard my fair share of bad language but it is ridiculous how much bad language is used here. It is so common place and ordinary for people. I should count how many times I hear the F word in one day.
5. Unfriendly- The people here are so mean. I guess they are just so used to their busy lives that they don't have time to offer a helping hand. The customer service here is also pretty crappy.
Things I LOVE about NYC: (also in no particular order, except for #1)
1. Tagg and I are together and really that is all that matters and therefor I can put up with everything I listed in the above section.
2. Our room! Like I said, it is a save haven for us and I love it.
3. The shopping- I love H&M. I am not rich enough to enjoy all the shops here but there are so many great stores around.
4. The food- gelato, gyros, fresh fruit stands, NY pizza, Chinese, Carnegie deli 5th avenue pie, and much much more!
5. So much to do- there is always something going on here and it is fun to be able to just walk around downtown and explore.
6. The temple- to be honest I haven't been yet but I am so excited to go. Tagg went while I was still in Utah and said it is really cool.
7. Honking- I think it is so funny that cars honk here ALL the time. I am sure everyone knows that but it just makes me laugh. More often than not, a car will just start laying on the horn when they are getting to an intersection to give a warning of their arrival. I love it!
So, there ya have it. I am sure I will have much more to add to these lists but this is just a start. This summer will definitely be an adventure but Tagg and I are loving it so far.
Here is a picture of us at the Yankees game we went to on Saturday. It rained for most of the game but it was such a fun experience. I had never been to a professional Baseball game before. Tagg got tickets from his work and they were awesome!
And here is a picture with Tagg and the Naked Cowboy. Quite the resemblance I think!

Katie! What an adventure, I am so jealous of your New York experience. I still have never been. Weird, I know. I'm so glad you are enjoying things and I know you are probably just SO glad to be back with your husband!
Tagg and Katie-
NYC sounds like so much fun!!! I'm glad you are enjoying it. I'm so excited for my trip out there soon. :) You guys are awesome.
How fun! I can't believe you had never been to a pro ball game before! Oh, and don't count how many times you hear the f word or you will just focus on it even more. Some of the teachers I worked with were real potty mouths in the staff room during lunch! Who is Tagg working for?
Oh. My. Gosh. That cowboy is totally naked! NY is really a wild place. Where are you living? Downtown Manhattan? I love your love and hate list. I would totally agree with the non-friendly people. But I will also say that if you go to Canal Street and walk around, there might be a guy sitting in his lawn chair in a swimming pool on the corner of the street. He is really friendly and he might even ask you to get in with him. I'll send you a picture some time. Or just check it out on my facebook under NYC. You'll enjoy it i'm sure. Glad you're back with Tagg-a-thon.
I'm so glad you are back with your hubby. NYC really is one of a kind, but you will love your adventure there. Take advantage of playing in Central Park, checking out the museums and all the other fun stuff. Also, I have heard that anyone who goes there must try "Pinkberry"
I love visiting New York! I'm glad you're adjusting pretty well, and I'm sorry about the crappy parts. I hope it keeps getting better for you. It's definitely an experience. ;)
Hey guys,
I sent you an announcement for Evva, but it came back. I need to call you so we can get the address worked out.
