Hello New York City!

After my friend's wedding in NJ, we had the chance to go visit some friends in NYC. I haven't been there in quite awhile and its one of my all-time favorite places! We had a great time catching up with friends.

We spent the night in Park Slope, a neighborhood in Brooklyn with some friends and got to meet their adorable son, Jack. He's over a year old now, so we were really happy to finally meet him (though I do follow his blog). :) We wandered around their neighborhood and parks, all of which were beautiful. I didn't even know there was such a large park in Brooklyn.


We also had the opportunity to see one of my high school friends as well. He moved out to NYC after college and was actually the person who showed me around during my very first visit to New York. He's a great guy and we were lucky to get the opportunity to meet his new fiance! They got engaged about a week after we left. Congrats to Jeff & Emily! We are excited for the upcoming wedding.



The hubby also got to spend some time with his favorite guitar buddy who moved to NYC. It was such a sad day for us. Steve is a great guy and now hubby talks to me about guitar playing - and I'm absolutely no help. But, I am a good listener.

Friends in Town

A few weeks ago, some great and very fun college friends came to town. It was so nice to see them. Sometimes after college, its easy to lose touch, but I think we've done a great job of staying as close as we can (especially considering we're scattered across the Midwest and West).



We had a great time - went to a Cubs game at Wrigley Field. Even though we did leave before the end of the game (hey it was 13 innings, what do you expect?!).




We also hit the Taste of Randolph festival (you can see the crowds in the picture below) one evening and a great hidden gem, Mariscos El Veneno. All in all, we had a great time catching up and hanging out!

Robin's Wedding

Recently, a very old and very dear friend of mine got married. She is a friend from high school, so I've known her now over 15 years. Wow - pretty amazing when someone is still a good friend 15 years later.

We traveled out to Flemington, NJ for the wedding and it was so quaint. Just a cute little town hidden outside of New York City. My husband and I had a great time at the wedding. We loved meeting Robin's in-laws, they were a hilarious and boisterous Italian family (I felt right at home!). Although, we probably had a bit too much fun at the rehearsal dinner, which seems to be a tradition for me. :)



Robin looked beautiful. Since I was in the wedding, I wasn't able to take any photos during the ceremony. But, I did get some great shots in at the salon in the morning when we were all getting ready.




Congratulations Robin!
