Almost over. Location: Brooklyn

It's becoming more and more real to me now that this summer is almost over! It's definitely bittersweet. I love New York so much and it's hard not knowing the next time I'll be back here. I can also tell how hard it is going to be to say good bye to the Victim Services Unit and all of the DV staff. A week from tomorrow is my last day, two weeks from today I'll be back in the Bay Area and 3 weeks from tomorrow I'll be on my way to Paris! Time has been flying. 


This past weekend was really fun. Hal's friend Danny from college was visiting so we did some cool things to entertain him. Friday we went to Williamsburg and hopped around to different bars then ended up down by the water looking at the Manhattan skyline. Saturday we went to the Yankee game vs. the Orioles because Danny is an Orioles fan. I'll still say Oakland 'till I die, but it was so much fun to see a team actually getting hits! Yankee spirit is intense too. When the Orioles scored a home run the whole stadium was yelling to the fan who caught the ball to throw it back and when Orioles fans came into our section, the whole section booed. We had pretty good seats too, even though they were the cheapest. You could see everything well and we weren't in the sun which was important given that it was over 90 degrees. 



 That's Danny and Joe and Hal under Hal's favorite!





That night we had some people over to hang out and play pong in Hal's backyard. Ryan brought his speakers out and we lit a bunch of candles because we couldn't find the light switch out there so we had some sort of bootleg ambiance for the evening.  


It's been really nice to live in Hal's house both because it's great to spend time with him and because it's just nice to live somewhere nice. His house is a little far from the train stop, but it's closer to work distance wise so it works out. 


In other news, I just picked up poop for the first time, making me the best girlfriend ever. I have avoided walking Hal's dog Kiwi until today, but tonight I had to in order to be able to get to dinner on time. Hal and I are meeting his friend from across the street and her boyfriend for dinner. First double date? 


Love,
Anj
