Back in Action

Almost a month later, I'm back. Last time I posted I was getting ready to leave home for New York City and a new job waiting for me there. A lot has happened in the past month.

• I moved to New York, starting out (aka spending two weeks) by sleeping on a family friend's pullout couch
• I started my job, fashion credits assistant at Lucky Magazine (which won't change this blog an this blog does not reflect my employer) (I've always wanted to say that)
•  Bought my first pair of real designer shoes (thanks to a Manolo Blahnik sample sale)
• Found an apartment in a physically and emotionally exhausting whirlwind
• Moved into my apartment with my roommate (still a work in progress)
• Met my Sweet Lemon editor Carly (as well as bloggers Nicole, Mackenzie and Stephanie) and helped put out the 4th issue of Sweet Lemon Magazine
• Got my first real paycheck

It's kind of hard for me to believe that I'm a real adult, living and working in New York City. I saw my family this past weekend and felt like I should be going home with them. And unlike in school when I had defined breaks, I'm not sure when I'll see them next (though I'm planning on taking the train down in a couple weeks). Instead of being defined by classes and exams and vacations my life is more of an open expanse now. Sure, I have work five days a week and that part is defined, but I have no idea what exactly I'll be doing in five years. For now though, I love my job and I love New York. And I miss blogging. So, I'm coming back to it (in part due to inspiration from the ladies mentioned above). It might not be everyday - I'm still settling into my work routine - but it will be here. I promised suburbs to city and I'm going to deliver. And in the meantime, you can follow me on Twitter @_hannahoward, Instagram @hannamariehoward, on Tumblr and on Pinterest.
