I promise this is all the pictures...from this trip anyways

If this show comes to your city - GO SEE IT!! Incredible!

We went to this amazing little spanish restaurant with more wonderful food than we knew what to do with! {further contributing to the snow pig effect}

Exhibit A: Seafood Paella...mmm

 Here's our crew!

And the happy couple again!

The infamous Blue Note Jazz Club in Greenwich Village

Now I check seeing the only two of these in the world off my list!

This {Freedom Tower} sure was a site to see --- I couldn't believe how fast it is going up

 A time table of events of September 11th

 This beautiful church is barely a few blocks from the where the WTC buildings stood and was COMPLETELY undamaged during the attacks. It became a shelter and safe haven for rescue workers and many others...tears were definitely shed here

Reflection pools where the towers once stood

The Freedom Tower lit up at night

 {I secretly was hoping to encounter a 7ft curly headed man dressed in yellow tights and a green leotard in this building looking for his dad to give him some lingerie}

 Sadly, this was the closest I got to Lady Liberty :(

 Somehow the pics of me doing this disappeared...weird

 I am so sad these pics didn't come out well --- damn you iPhone

This food was hands down the best italian food I have EVER had. EVER. Osteria Romana is truly a piece of Rome smack dab in the middle of Westport, Connecticut. Fresh handmade ingredients and creative cooking techniques make this place top notch!!! 

Please, please, please if you are ever in Westport, stop in and see the Italian hotties taste the amazing food this place offers!

 HANDMADE NOODLES AND SAUCES FOLKS!

No words --- best desserts AND dessert wines I have ever had!

All in all it was an amazing trip with amazing people and I can't wait to visit them damn Yankees again!

Who knew life could be so consuming..part 1

I have a good excuse - L.I.F.E.

It has been standing in my way since Thanksgiving and I woke up yesterday and realized that is freaking February already - holy hell!

Since we last talked:

* I have traveled to Germany, The Netherlands, England, France, Connecticut and New York City
* I celebrated 8 years since our first date with the handsomest man I know
* Watched one of my best friends get engaged
* Helped another one of my best friends design her save the dates
* Opened an Etsy shop and have already started filling orders

We will get to all that shortly, because I promise I am back for good. I had my break, but now I miss blogging and am ready to get started again!

Let's start with a MAJOR photo dump of my Connecticut/New York trip part 1 - baby steps folks
{There may or may not be a proposal at the end of this post...}

 Welcome to Westport, Connecticut

Little does she know that 24hrs later she will be an engaged woman!!!

 This Texas girl has never seen snow stick to the ground, let alone temperatures of 15 degrees

Yes, that is all snow...seriously

Meet Roxy!

 Fact: Winter clothes suck - hence, why I look like the abominable snow pig in EVER picture

Where's Waldo? {hint - she is wearing a white hat!}

oink oink

  "If this floor doesn't shine like the top of the Chrysler Building, your backsides will!"

 The happy couple 

Rockefeller Center = BEAUTIFUL!

St. Patrick's Cathedral

The beautiful Plaza Hotel

We are two lucky ladies for sure!

What better way to end this post than a proposal!

Nice to be back!
