november 13th is Mabel’s Gotcha Day! happy 1 year of being our dog-daughter, sweet puppy. this week (and day) has been loaded with disappointment, bad news, and sad anniversaries related to life, death, covid, family, and more. i only want to talk about how this date is a happy day! this sweet girl isn’t a human, but she’s the closest thing to a child whose life i’ve been responsible for. Mabel, you make me and @onlybgg so happy literally every day, and though our lives were good before, they would not be the same or as fun/ny without you! Allison’s post about my Dad said it all. Daddy, I miss you. I can’t believe it’s been 3 years?! finally...world... friday the 13th isn’t a bad thing! okay, mic drop. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHjvZDkB2Io/?igshid=11rzvci6pvc1j

cheers! west village, baby! maybe eventually I’ll go back and actually post photos from my whole summer (it was amazing, btw, so much that I didn’t have time for instagram), but this one couldn’t go un-posted in the moment! 5+ years in NYC, and I signed a lease for an apartment in my dream neighborhood. couldn’t have done it and wouldn’t have wanted to without my best friend ♥️📝🍾 (at West Village, Manhattan, NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/B23GLZThbTO/?igshid=172w9b3qcl2n8

here is the face of a girl who made it to her 5 year NYC anniversary! a few other things that have happened in 5 years: - fell in love with a really great guy @onlybgg - finally went to my first yankees game (just last week though, oops) - developed a huge cheesy crush on coney island - found my dream startup job at @dailyharvest - learned that I need to spend every free moment sunbathing in parks or watching river sunsets or biking all over the city this is my new york. #nyc 7.3.19 (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzefWsQhvuj/?igshid=1rf2p7mo8gz2j
