Eric and I spent most of our weekend wandering around the city - shopping, eating, and just roaming aimlessly. The weather is still chilly, but the daily temperatures have started to trend upwards (we're now consistently in the high 30s-low 40s, rather than in the 20s and below), and we felt the urge to get out and stretch our legs a bit.
Yesterday while strolling through Times Square, we came across this "Valentine to NYC" sponsored by Zales. A little Googling tells me Zales had a 2-carat diamond giveaway contest in Times Square on Valentine's Day, which involved contestants reciting poetry to their beloveds. We thought this heart statue was very cool. It's right in the heart (get it??) of Times Square, by the TKTS booth (where we get our discount Broadway tickets). So, I give you a belated NYC-style Valentine:

Our weekend wandering also led us out to Macy's, which gave us a closer view of the Valentine's Day Empire State Building. The different levels were lit up red and pink, which are two colors that always make me happy because they were our wedding colors. Needless to say, they now carry pretty positive associations for me!

On a related romantic note, I'd like to point out that tomorrow is the 1.5 year anniversary of our wedding! I can't believe it's been a year and a half already. I have to say that I love where we are in our relationship right now. We're settling in nicely to married life, and enjoying it very much, to the point that we don't feel so much like newlyweds anymore (although in the grand scheme of life, of course, we still are). Yet, it's still early enough in our marriage to still be counting anniversaries in six month increments! We have a good time together, and are so happy. Eric's the best husband ever.
Okay, enough mushy stuff! Hope you all had a nice weekend. This week will be spent preparing for next week's move into the new apartment - FINALLY! So stay tuned for updates on the moving madness!
