Update...June

June: Bailey, Jesse visits, Picnics in the Park, Claire's Wedding

June was a busy month for us. We found our new apartment on 82nd and 3rd, though we weren't moving in until July. With the knowledge that we had a new place, we decided it was finally time to get a puppy. As everyone knows, I had been wanting a dog for years, and Cody and I thought now was a good time. Who knows if we were right, but now we have a little shih tzu, Bailey, and are having a great time with her (even though she is a TON of work). Below are some pictures from the first weekend with her.

She's growing up very quickly - I can't believe we've had her for nearly a month and a half. Below are a few more pictures...her first haircut (we removed the bow right after the picture was taken!), her first time in Central Park, and some other cute photos of her around the apartment...yes that is her sitting up like a person on the couch!

While Bailey took up a lot of our time in June, we were lucky enough to enjoy two visits from Jesse...well, one visit was the last weekend in May, but close enough. We spent most of her first visit in Central Park - we were there every day for 3 days. Below are a few pictures. (Yes, that is Jess stabbing a tree...but in her defense, it was looking at her funny).

During one of Jesse's visits, we also went to the East Village to see a play with one of our friends, Sarah. After the play, we met Amber out for a drink at an Irish pub across the street. One drink led to a second at a pub next door...which led to us stumbling across the "3 Irish pubs in the East Village" - they are all within a 2 block radius. After we found the first two, I grabbed a business card that talked about all three, so we had to find the 3rd!

Finally, at the end of June was my friend, Claire's, wedding (one of the girls I lived with my first summer in New York). Cody was supposed to go to the wedding with me, but we couldn't leave Bailey alone and couldn't board her because she didn't have all of her shots. Unfortunately, I had already RSVP'ed with him, so Claire asked me to fill his seat. I took Brian and we had a great time. It was his first wedding, so he was observing how everything works (he's best man in his brother's wedding this September). It was the best wedding I had ever been to - so much fun!

Below is a picture of the 6 of us that lived together that first summer in the city - yes, two of them are wearing the same dress...they were bridesmaids.

The happy couple, getting their groove on!

Nearly caught up...just July to go!
