May 28th-June 1st - NYC & Friends!

Tuesday morning I headed to the airport and flew to New York City! On the flight I finally saw Argo and I thought it was really interesting. I landed at JFK airport and took public transportation to my apartment which was a little difficult with two huge suitcases...


I finally made it and my roommate's Mom was home and she made vegetable pasta that was really good! Sarah and Dennise came home from work and it was so exciting to see them after not seeing them for over four months! We caught up on each other's lives and it was also my first time seeing Dennise since her arm was fractured in multiple places because a mugger pushed her down on the cement! :( I don't want to get too emotional about it but it sickens me that someone could do this to a stranger, never mind to such an incredible person like her. Then we all watched the movie Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World which was cute.


The next morning Dennise and I had breakfast and my friend Lauren who I used to work with at Maialino restaurant came over to see the apartment because she was going to be subletting my room for two months. Then Lauren and I went to yoga at Yoga To The People which felt great! Afterwards we went to Hane Japanese restaurant that I love!


I showered up and headed to Turtle Bay which was a cool bar where my friend Ritz was hanging out with coworkers after work. We left and got a little something to eat at Le Pain which was yummy. She treated me and got me a card for my birthday that was so sweet! 


Back at the apartment I hung out with my roommates and Dennise's Mom and boyfriend Tommy. The next morning I went to get my nails done with my good friend Julie which was so nice to be able to do together! Afterwards I headed to Times Square to meet with an artist who had given me a picture for free over six months ago and I wanted to pay him for it. I felt bad that it took me so long but I would never forget something like that!


It was neat to see Courtney's new work and he was happy that I could stop by and catch up! For mail orders you can contact him at newyorknewart@yahoo.com. After, I headed to Sarah's work and got to meet her co-workers and then her and I got lunch at Dishes and ate in a park nearby which was fun!


Later in the day there was a going away party for one of the managers where I used to work at Maialino who was taking another job within the USHG company. People gave speeches and two employees even made a song which was hilarious and afterwards I got to see a lot of the people I used to work with which was so nice! 


Then our friend Danielle came over to the apartment to talk because she was going to rent out my spot for a couple of weeks. After, my roommates and I went to dinner to celebrate Dennise and my birthdays since we were both born on June 2nd! We went to Hane and it was perfect, I was so thankful to be able to be with two of my best friends and to celebrate Dennise's birthday with her! Thank you two for making this birthday so special for me, love you!


The next morning Sarah came with me to Dunkin Donuts and then I was heading to the bus stop to go home. I realized it was going to be too difficult to take the subway there with my all of my luggage and the short amount of time I had until the bus left so I had to try to find a cab in rush hour but Sarah helped me run after one and I made it! It was my first time taking the Megabus and it was pretty good!


It was nice to be home and we went to PF Changs right away to eat but then I found out that my Mom had not been feeling well lately and my Dad had been in the hospital because he thought he was having a heart attack! It was sad to come home to that news but I was glad my Dad turned out to be okay and that I could spend time with them. Afterwards I went with Mike and his family to Grinnell's for dinner with Carrie, a photographer we are friends with, and Matt her husband which was nice.


On Saturday we ate with Mike's family during the day and later with mine and got ready to throw my birthday party the next day!
