Big Apple Birthday

My birthday was on December 10th. The alarm went off at 5 AM on December 9th. Amy started bouncing up and down on the bed.

"Sweety!" she yelled, "Wake up! We aren't going camping. We're going on a trip! Your bags are packed! A cab is coming in 45 minutes."

So, I spent my 30th birthday in New York City. It was a huge surprise. It was even a bigger surprise when my two good friends from Boston, Sarah and Slip, met us our for sushi on my birthday.

Highlights include the following: snow, fantastic dinner at Gramercy Tavern (half of which was comped because we are so lovely and celebratory!), the "Wall St. Bull", St. Paul's church (loved all the memorials for Ground Zero and George Washington's pew!), and ice skating in Central Park.

Kissy, I thought of you twice while in NYC. Once outside of Sephora on 5th Avenue and once while a cute boy wearing makeup at the Mac counter sold Amy some eyeshadow.

Thanks for coming back everyone. My apologies for being away!
