Bucket List
Nothing like a blizzard to make you find any excuse to not go outside. I've been fortunate in my 1.5 years in NYC to not really experience a crazy winter. My first winter here, we had one snow storm, where the city shut down Friday through Sunday. It was great! There were no cars in the streets and the snow was actually powdery snow, not ice blocks. Zoey loved running around, and it wasn't too cold out.
POPSUGAR Must Have Box February Review
Just after I moved to NYC, I cancelled all my subscription boxes. While I was in save mode, the main reason was really that I just didn’t have time to try all the samples from my Birchbox or that I couldn’t finish all the cookies from Barkbox. However, I did continue to try and swap items through My Subscription Addiction, while continuously reading the new reviews. One box I’d been wanting to try for a long time was the PopSugar Must Have box. Every month when I read the review, I loved every item that was in the box and tried to swap for it. So, when I saw the spoiler alert for the January box, I decided to sign up. Unfortunately, it was too late and I started with the February box, but it’s still awesome!
Catching Up
I can't believe it's been more than three months since my last post! I knew moving to New York and starting my MBA would be a bit of a whirlwind, but people weren't kidding when they said first semester is rough. I feel like I've barely had time to catch my breath but at the same time have had the opportunity to do so much.
Cross-Country Roadtrip
Like I'd mentioned in my previous post, in order to get Zoey to New York from Seattle, we had to drive cross-country. It was an incredible experience. We'd complained in the past about how long the 4-5 hour drive from Seattle to Spokane WA was, twice a year for four years while I did my undergrad at Gonzaga. Preparing to move to New York, we knew we had at least 40 hours to go! Let that sink in for a minute.
Sunday Round Up

This video is sensational, while at the same time being really sad. It's crazy to think that one day Zoey will no longer be in my life, and I try not to think of it as much as possible.
Sunday Round Up
Because I was in New York this past weekend, I didn't get to post my links! That doesn't mean that I haven't been gathering all the articles I've read during the last two weeks on here though. So, for this weekend, we get double the fun! By the way, New York was beyond great, and I can't wait to go back again in two months!!
Sunday Round Up
I feel like this week just flew by. Even though I've been looking forward to my trip to NYC for the NYU Stern Preview, I can't believe that it's already next week! But, before we get to it, here were a few things for this past week.
Sunday Round Up
Every week I read numerous articles, snippets, tweets, Instagram posts, and many other things that I want to save somewhere, because I find them interesting, inspiring, funny, cute, etc. Lately, I've been super into Pinterest because of that, since I can quickly save the top image of whatever I'm reading and always have it link back to the original article. But, what better way to do a roundup of some of the best ones, than to post it on here?! So, going forward, I will try my hardest to publish a roundup of my five favorite things from the week. Although I definitely can't promise I'll keep it to just five :)
Done with MBA applications!
At the end of 2013, just before the holidays, I started thinking of returning to school, debating between an MBA or a Masters in Statistics. I started thinking of why I wanted to change industries, where I'd like to be, and the possibility of moving from Seattle, where I've lived for the last 15 years. I've greatly enjoyed my time at Amazon and the opportunity I had to work with incredible people. But I knew it was time to move on, and chase an industry I was much more passionate about, sports.
