If you follow me online … pretty much anywhere, you might have noticed I’ve had little to say this past week. That’s because immediately after the CMT’s fantastic e-Formation Conference at VTS (a joyful, grueling marathon), Kristin and I moved to New York City. It has been quite a week.
Today she begins her new job as associate priest at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Port Chester, about a thirty minute ride on the Metro North from Fordham Heights, our new neighborhood in the Bronx. More on the neighborhood soon.
We’ve had some requests to see our place, so here are a few photos. Aside from needing new art (believe it or not, it’s bigger than our last apartment), we’re pretty much set up. We’re so grateful from the many couches we’ve crashed on in the city the past six years. So come stay with us next time you’re in New York!
Entrance
Luis (our super, helping us install our A/C): Son ustedes profesores?
Kristin: No, sacerdotes … pastores.
(We’re just a couple blocks from Fordham University, and he assumed we were professors because of our muchos libros.)
Living Room
For the first time since some apartment in Madison, I get to have the keyboard set up all the time. Here’s hoping I can get some chops back.
Main bedroom
(Sorry for the lighting fails on quite a few of these.)
Kitchen
Definitely the biggest improvement from our last place: more cabinets, more counters, room to breathe.
Office / guest bedroom
(Where I’m writing this, and where I’ll be working from in my continuing role as digital missioner and instructor for the Center for the Ministry of Teaching.)
(Where you should come and stay. It’s a full size futon with decent mattress, the same model Kristin slept on for a year at her Claremont apartment.)
**
OK, I’m off to church at our local parish, St. James in Fordham. Happy Sunday! More soon.
One thought to “Have a peek at our new apartment”
