This is my first post guys. And to all three of you out there reading it... I just want to say thanks for taking 30 seconds out of your life to be a part of mine. I would love to tell you about all of the wonderously exciting things that have been happening, but they may only be exciting to me. I feel like I would have liked to have kept this blog over the last three years, but I didn't. So now I need to make up for it... So I may periodically write and post pictures of my past vacations and European adventures in addition to the ones about my new life in New York City.

So the latest and greatest from NYC is that my girlfriend Alex is in town from Los Angeles. She is a great friend from college and lived in London when I first moved back to France after college. She came to my sister Kristin’s wedding party in the south of France and met all my French buddies over the last few years. We had a fantastic weekend running around the city and saw our friend Giles and his brother from Occidental. They are from Long Island and took us to there to the beach on Sunday. Giles taught Alex and Florent to surf and we had a blast. Then we stopped by Central Park on our way back into Manhattan to check out a free concert. We’re having a great time and I wish she could stay longer! I am constantly giving her the top ten list of Reasons Why Alex Need to Move to New York Immediately. We’ll see if I’m successful!
