fall pictures!

I'm wrapping up another great weekend! I got my first paycheck this week and definitely lived it up all weekend long.  I finally got to go shopping on Newbury Street and actually spent some money. It was awesome. Also, I HAVE A BED. FINALLY. I finally feel like a normal human being, and I'm definitely enjoying sleeping at a normal height.

This is where I walk to get the T (subway)... my stop is right behind the trees on the right

 

My new bed! I love it!

Fall leaves :)

 

That's basically it. I'm a little disappointed with the amount of fall color in the city. There is a lot of yellows but not a lot of orange or red. We aren't at the peak yet so there should be a lot more closer to November. It's supposed to be really beautiful right now outside of the city.  Hopefully I'll be taking the train out of the city next weekend, so I will try to take a lot more pictures then!

life as a working girl...

So... I have finished my first full week of work. It's been interesting to say the least. I'm training with 3 other people and have enjoyed getting to know everyone. The office is really upbeat and has an extremely laid-back atmosphere. So I like it... it's just taking some time getting used to waking up at 6 every morning, leaving my apartment before 8, commuting into downtown on a jam-packed subway, and making it to work on time. I usually have time to stop into starbucks on my way, which is a must now that I'm a single girl working in the city.... right?!

Besides my boring work updates, I've been enjoying my time exploring a new city! I officially feel like I belong... I know my way around and I've even been able to give a handful of random people accurate directions.  I also finally experienced my first Red Sox game.  Dan was given two tickets so we got to enjoy a Monday night at the ball park. This was the only picture I was able to snap, but I feel like it does Fenway enough justice. It was definitely a much different experience than going to Minute Maid.

In the next few weeks I will be taking as many pictures as possible of my first New England fall.  The leaves are already starting to turn and I haven't experienced weather over 60 degrees in the last week or so.  I'm so excited because I can already wear boots, sweaters,  and scarves.  I've also been having a nightly cup of hot cocoa. My plan is to do as many fall things that I can. This is definitely my favorite season and will most likely consist of making lots of food and doing a lot of baking. I'm ready to gain a few extra pounds for the sake of fully enjoying fall. I will be living it up until the first snow... and then I will officially be in hybernation until March.
