Hooray Gary! We're Finally Huge!

About Me

I live in New York with my husband Jason and our three pets. Things have been pretty crazy lately, since we're trying to buy a house and the mortgage company is not making it easy. We're planning on living here for a few years and eventually relocating to the Philadelphia area. But hopefully it will work out soon, once we have the house the only obstacle to having a baby next year is my graduating in December! To that end, I'm taking two summer classes this month and one in July. In December I'll have a Bachelor's degree in Art History. I don't have a specialization as such, but I'm very interested in modern art, and my favorite artists are Klimt and Duchamp, though I love many others and enjoy spending time in museums. I like when I'm able to stay home and take care of the house and my family, but I get easily stressed out sometimes. I love to do crafty things and I'm obsessed with clothes and stuff that is small and cute. I have a feeling that things in our life are going to take off very soon, once college limbo is over. I just got back from a week in San Francisco, which was amazing!

I like things that are cute and small.

My Shortcomings

My very long vacation is almost up, and it makes me sad. I'd like to say that since I had so much free time the house was spotless, Jason's work clothes were perfectly ironed, the laundry was kept up...
