All About The Burkes: Our life in New York

Hello friends and family. I know this sounds cliché but I have decided to start a blog mainly to keep you all updated on the life of the Burkes and for documentation. Since Chase works long hours everyday except Sunday I thought this would be a fun way to spend some of my days since I am carless and have lots of time on my hands.
Chase and I are loving New York so far! Although we are definitely missing the mountains and all of the outdoor things we could do in the summer. The only mountain here is the lovely landfill that is practically in our backyard haha. Traffic and the roads here are awful. It really makes me appreciate Idaho and all of the construction. The weather is similar to back home and maybe even colder. It rains quite a bit here. We have been able to do so many things. We got to experience the train to Manhattan which was interesting for first timers who didn't have a clue on what we were doing. We have been able to see the Statue Of Liberty, take a bike ride around Central Park, see Time Square, and so much more. The 9/11 Memorial and Broadway is obviously a must see as well. Cinderella was fantastic! We had Keste pizza which was super yummy and I recommend it to anyone who goes to the city.
We are loving our ward out here. It is super tiny. I think there may be about 100 people including everyone out here for summer sales. It is very humbling seeing the Lords work done in action. They all are very spiritual and loving. They are strong members. It is different than in Idaho and Utah where the wards are giant.
In July we will be moving to Boston. I am excited to be able to see everything there and learn more about the history.
Our one year anniversary was last Sunday! We both weren't feeling our best since we both got the flu so we plan on celebrating some more this week.
