The only not
so amazing part of receiving a bunch of beautiful, thoughtful gifts for all of
our rooms is that we live in the West Village in a 700 square foot apartment,
with not so many rooms. Receiving our shower gifts reminded me of our imminent
need to relocate. I vote for LA. My fiance, more realistically, is pushing for
Chelsea or the Upper West Side here in NYC. We’ll see. But in the meantime,
inspired by Nora, I’ve come up with “What I Won’t Miss” and “What I Will Miss”
about our little humble abode nestled in The Village.
What I Won’t Miss
The broken AC unit in our
bedroom
The perpetually clogged
sink in our bathroom
The always-fighting
couple that lives above us (And the frequent f-bombs that come with)
The "oldness"
of our apartment; it never feels squeaky clean
The tiny pieces of brick
that fall from our crumbling exposed brick wall
Our serious lack of
closet space
What I Will Miss
Our quiet block
Our apartment’s amazing
location
The bodega around the
corner that delivers us pints of ice cream
Roxy, the neighborhood
Burmese Mountain Dog
The beautiful, towering
tree outside our living room window
The mom & pop
bookstore around the corner
The neighborhood bike shop
Our proximity to the West
Side Highway (Although Justin insists we’ll be close to the Hudson River in our
new spot too)
The countless amazing
restaurants within walking distance
Our
exposed brick wall
Did I mention the amazing
location?
