TGIF/4-Week Bucket List

Happy Friday!!!  I hope you all had a wonderful week! 

Time is slowly slipping away from me between all the job applications, meet-ups with friends and finishing out my current position.  It's stressing me a out a little...  Oh and do you know how expensive it is to move across the country?  Well, I'm slowly finding out.  I can tell you the smallest POD is $4,200, a 10-foot U-Haul is $1,900 (not to mention gas and time to drive 3,000 miles) and I think boxes are approximately $70 each to ship.  So basically what my life has boiled down to is that I have to start seriously going through everything and getting rid of so.much.stuff.  Like (almost) 25 years worth of living-in-the-same-city stuff.  Whoa.

And since I've only got 4 weeks left in my little city, I decided to make a bucket list!  Here goes!

• Get Nachos at Silver Peak
• Take mom & brother to Louis Basque Corner
• Go to an Aces game
• Have the bf take me shooting one more time (I think it'll be a while before this happens again)
• Spend time at Donner Lake/run the lake
• Float the Truckee River
• Take Kyle to Nik-n-Willie's Pizza (I worked there in high school and haven't had it in almost 4 years!!)
• Eat at Garwoods and get a Wet Woody
• Go to an Artown Event
• Night in the Country/one more concert
• Get a Pedi at Soak and get one of their signature cocktails
• Visit San Francisco one more time
• Eat at the new cafe at the Nevada Museum of Art

TGIF/Whirlwind!

What a whirlwind of a week!  As you may or may not have seen in this post, on Monday I put in my 4 week notice at my job of 2 years to move to New York City!  Since then it's been feeling even more and more real!  I have so much to do though.  It's a little overwhelming...  That aside, how was your week?

I posted my SugarLips look yesterday (still pinching myself for actually getting a chance to be part of their blogger partnership!) and this afternoon I've got a doctors appointment then it's off to San Francisco for the weekend!  I'm doing the Color Run with a couple of my girlfriends!  Should be a blast!

Btw, I have been feeling really unorganized lately because this is the second doctors appointment in the last couple of months that has crept up on me and I only found out about it because of the reminder call from the doc (I thought it was next Friday!).  Ugh.  I think I need to get a May Books planner to keep my life straight.  I used to be the type of person that absolutely died without her planner, then I graduated college and thought I could just rely on my phone but I think I'm back to needing a planner.  Oh well, at least these make it fun!  P.S. Thank you to Lili of Swanky Chic Fete for turning me on to these on Instagram.
Anywho, hope you all have a lovely weekend! 

I'll post weekend updates next week but in the meantime follow me on Instagram!!

My Backyard to the Big Apple

Happy Monday!  As promised a really exciting announcement on the blog today. 

This is definitely one of the most exciting yet gut-wrenching posts I've ever written...

Today I put in my 4-week notice at work because I have decided to move to the Big Apple!  This is exciting because of all the adventures that await but gut-wrenching because I have only ever lived in Reno (we are talking almost 25 years, and yes I stayed here for college) and I have never done something this gutsy before (picking up and moving without a job, without an apartment and only knowing one person in NYC really well).  Basically I am chasing my dreams.  My family thinks I'm absolutely insane (but is supportive at the same time) but I truly feel like this is something I need to do.

I don't know what's going to happen to TheRightShoes (because as you may or may not have figured out, I take all my own pictures and I'm not sure how cool it is to trek around NYC with a tripod posing for yourself... :] ) but I hope this move improves the blog and opens more doors for me. 

So, for all of you living in, near or visiting NYC please shoot me an e-mail!  I'd love to meet up and get to know you!  For everyone else, I hope you follow me on my journey.  I can't wait to share :).

And hence the title of the post...  My Backyard to the Big Apple. 

6 weeks and counting!
