Welcome!

I've been in NYC for almost a month now, so I figured it was time to give everyone a little update.

Indeed, I finally made it to the city. I left Grand Rapids on July 22 and drove to Staten Island where I am staying with Stephen and Clara. After months of job hunting, I am happy to say that I am working for the YMCA of Greater NY in the operations department. There are 26 different YMCA Branches in the NY area, so plenty of things to keep me busy! My office is just a few blocks north of Columbus Circle (right near Central Park and Lincoln Center) and I am really enjoying everything!

It is a bit of a strange adjustment, living in Grand Rapids for 23 years and moving to New York. I think I am adjusting to life in the city just fine...it is certainly quite different from my Grand Rapids existence.

I am anxious to find an apartment, which I think will help me feel more settled....searching for apartments in NYC is a little different than finding housing in Grand Rapids!

I leave you with this: the view out of my bedroom window (no joke...right now I can see a cruise ship leaving for sea)

Dear Lee,
Please change your obnoxious background. The stripes hurt my head.
Love, Joel.

I think you should listen to "your" Joels on this, Lee. The background is a bit dizzying.
