Ode to NY

5 days left. Sigh. We are sad. We don't want to go home! I will be dragging and kicking my big swollen arthritic feet at the airport next week. In order to be happier right now, let's take a big bite of the delicious chocolate & cream cheese stuffed muffin I just bought. And take a brief walk through memory land to reminisce on some of my favorite happenings from our east coast summer. Hit it Mons!

Hey! I'm so glad you're a blogger, it's way easier keeping in touch with people this way. I just sent your husband a facebook message to see if you have an account or anything. I saw a girl in church today that looks JUST LIKE YOU! It made me wonder what's going on in your life. You two look great!

Carrie I'm so glad you finally told me about your blog (a little late, but it's still cool!). You're hair is SOOOOO cute short and the both of you make NY look pretty exciting, and that's coming from a girl who gets anxiety just thinking about visiting a big city. I'm glad you're back and I can't wait to play!
