kristi told me she met her husband waiting tables where she was from, a small town in new york, and ironically i lived in a small town in new york, too. most people think of new york city as new york–which it is– but there’s much more to new york than the nyc.
i spent a few years growing up in warwick, new york. i miss sleepy valley, the snowy winters, and having sleep overs with my best friend andrew. it could be that i miss my childhood, but i haven’t been back since my family moved. that was 2003. 14 years ago. i want to go back to see how much i remember and how much i miss. i want to see what i missed out on and what i avoided.
those days were so liberating. i’m adding warwick to the itinerary asap.
